A Forest Of Stars have once again created a masterpiece but it’s through different palette-dabbling than previous opus ‘Opportunistic Thieves Of Spring’. Is it because of their 19th Century image? Or perhaps it’s their unwillingness to shy away from writing a concept album in the 21st Century? No. But when it comes to The Gentlemen’s Club Of A Forest Of Stars, you begin to believe there’s still genuine application for such a prestigious title to be used, especially when experiencing third record ‘A Shadowplay For Yesterdays’. Either self-tagged by bands looking for a hook or lazily prescribed by writers to those with a few (slightly unpredictable) sonic tricks up their sleeve – it’s an exhausted description with a ‘boy who cried wolf’ complex. Let’s face it, when broadly speaking about ‘metal’, ‘avant-garde’ is a term far too easily thrown around.
