Dark Forest - 'Skylark' (official video)
In golden flames the land is born
All the colours of the dawn
Cascading symphony
The sight is clear, the magic wrought
All the battles we have fought
Will fade like ghosts before the sun
Embrace the light
Embrace the darkness
Becoming whole
The peace within
A silver thread that hangs in time
Sorrow, joy and truth entwined
So our lives are woven
To find the flow, to be the way
To see as one the night and day
And lo! The clouds become unfurled
Sprung from the earth
With visions clear
Fly into
The endless blue
Our spirits soar
Eternal, evermore
The joyous heart
The truthful art
The dawn mist glows
A sacred journey starts
Guard the Inner Light
Crystal notes are flowing
From Mother Earth we rise
Into the Father Sky
We paint the land before us
Dreaming for all time
When the skylark sings
feel the harmony within
Soar on golden wings
Through eternal skies
When the skylark sings
Carried by the vernal winds
Know the truth within
Keep the flame that never dies
Fly into
The endless blue
Our spirits soar
Eternal, evermore
The joyous heart
The truthful art
The dawn mist glows
A sacred journey starts
Guard the Inner Light
Crystal notes are flowing
From Mother Earth we rise
Into the Father Sky
We paint the land before us
Dreaming for all time

Ep πέντε τραγουδιών είναι η μουσική πρόταση των Dark Forest για το 2022. Τιτλοφορείται "Ridge & Furrow" και έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στα τελειώματα του πρώτου φθινοπωρινού μήνα. Οι Dark Forest μας έρχονται από την Αγγλία. Δημιουργήθηκαν πριν από είκοσι χρόνια, χαρακτηρίζουν την μουσική τους ως «Heavy Metal from the Wood» και έχουν κυκλοφορήσει πέντε "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους (ακούστε τα albums "Oak, Ash & Thorn", "The Awakening"), ένα demo και τρία EPs...
Δελτίο τύπου: «Heralded British traditional metallers Dark Forest (UK) will release the five-song “Ridge & Furrow” EP this October via Cruz Del Sur Music.
The follow-up to 2020’s “Oak, Ash & Thorn” was recorded at Hellfire Studios in the Midlands of England with producer Ajeet Gill. Founding Dark Forest member, guitarist and primary songwriter Christian Horton used his pandemic downtime wisely.
The extra, unexpected free time allowed him to craft new Dark Forest material between full-length releases. Horton’s burst of creativity coincided with the eventual (and much-needed) re-opening of pubs across England that led to the band resuming live activity.
But the immediate future brings “Ridge & Furrow”, a project that has taken on special meaning for Horton that offers the perfect segue to the band’s next full-length album.
“As I began to write new material during 2020, it occurred to me that if we could get enough songs to form an EP and have it recorded and released by 2022, it would be the perfect thing to mark the occasion of the band’s 20th anniversary,” says Horton.
“This is one reason why the project began to take on a personal significance. As the founder of Dark Forest, it would serve as a milestone on the band’s journey and is why I decided to handle a lot of aspects of the record myself, including the artwork. The EP became a project that was close to my heart and I also wanted to bring back something of the early Dark Forest atmosphere, as I used to do the art back then too, to create a kind of symmetry between points in time.”
The five songs contained herein are classic Dark Forest. Josh Winnard’s effortless vocal delivery rouses the band’s impenetrable wall of melody and might. The EP format also allowed Horton and the rest of Dark Forest (completed by guitarist Patrick Jenkins and drummer Adam Sidaway) to spread the creative wings a bit - and include a fan favorite from their past.»
