A FOREST OF STARS

previous next
The Gentlemen’s Club of A Forest of Stars are a collection of 19th century vaudeville, classical and burlesque musicians, inspired by the teachings of their ages’ greatest writers, composers, artists and mediums. Their intention is to appoint a fusion of black metal, romanticism, the occult, psychedelia, folk and the improprieties of madness into one unsightly whole, much against the wishes of both Her Majesty’s Government and indeed fashionable society at large. 

They describe their music as a failed attempt to reach out to the celestial glory of the unconquerable cosmos through the deepest, cloying, incense-choked, dimly lit attic of their spiritually corrupt minds; a messy, highly flawed journey awash with violins, flutes, Middle Eastern percussion, doggerel verse, opium, karimbas, claret, base chants and grossly un-profound meanderings all wrapped into a filthy, threadbare blanket of black metal; An ethanol soaked and laudanum fuelled journey through the highways and byways of a shadow world populated by venomous villains and corrupt clergy, whirling endlessly through the infinite, cold void of space. Sometimes there’s even music involved. 

"Greetings! We are elated to be playing the British Metal Institution that is Bloodstock in this, the two thousand and eighteenth year of the Common Era. The impressively diverse range of acts both legendary and neoteric brings to mind the heady days of vaudeville, though hopefully without subjecting us to a single note of the True Evil that is Music Hall. In short: Us being invited to perform = amazing, Music Hall = Bad. Really, really, really, bad."
