UK traditional Heavy Metal band DARK FOREST will hit the studio again in April 2016 to record “Beyond the Veil”, the follow-up of their acclaimed “The Awakening” release.
For the album artwork the band has successfully hired the skills of Duncan Storr, known gor having worked and produced some beautiful artworks for Skyclad, Rage, Hawkwind, Elixir etc.
The album is set to be released in late summer 2016.
“Beyond the Veil”’s cover artwork and track list will be revealed soon!
DARK FOREST‘s third album “The Awakening” will be released on February 28th in Europe and March 6th in the USA, and so far it has been very well-welcomed by the Metal press.
To convince you that this album is rightly been regarded as “one of the best heavy metal releases of early 2014”, the band has released a videoclip of their new anthem “Sons of England” (without doubt, one of the most memorable songs amongst “The Awakening”‘s setlist). Watch the video here:

These are some of the European press’ comments:
“Ein stimmiges Album.” (Time for Metal, D)
“Dark Forest levert met ‘The Awakening’ een cd af met 9 sterke heavymetalnummers en een die makkelijk mee kan met de top van de heavy metal. Goede plaat!” (White Room Reviews, NL)
“The Awakening” is one of the first real heavy metal highlights of 2014. Please let there be many more!” (Metal Squadron, N)
“Das dritte Album der von Hingabe beseelten Briten, die ihre Band 2002 gründeten. Epischer und melodischer Heavy Metal, zuweilen nahe dran am Power Metal. Mit visionär-verträumter Aura!” (EMP, D)
“Ein wahres Jahreshighlight, das von Mal zu Mal stärker in den Ohren knallt und jeden Liebhaber epischen True Metals zum Jauchzen bringen wird.” (Stormbringer.at, AT)
“Ein klassisches Metal-Album mit leicht epischem Charakter.” (Legacy, D)
“Traditioneller Heavy Metal mit viel Melodie und einigen frühen Speed-Elementen.” (Bleeding4Metal)
