The Awakening is set for North American release on March 11 via Cruz Del Sur Music.
DARK FOREST was forged
in the Black Country, England by guitarist Christian Horton. For just
over a decade they have been delivering their uniquely rousing, defiant
heavy metal to the world. With the release of their self-made EPs in
2007, the band quickly gained the attention and support of the heavy
metal underground, both in England and abroad, and then went from
strength to strength, gigging across Europe and the UK and releasing
their self titled debut album in 2009, then Dawn of Infinity in 2011.
In
2012 DARK FOREST recruited the outstanding vocalist Josh Winnard as
their new front man and shortly afterwards also gained the incredible
talents of guitarist Pat Jenkins. With this new line up, the band
immediately began writing fresh material and entered the recording
studio in June 2013 to produce their third album The Awakening.
The
album is recorded in 444hz instead of the standardized 440hz tuning.
The decision was based by studying the lost "Solfeggio frequencies",
original sound frequencies which were apparently used in Ancient
Gregorian Chants and were believed to impart "spiritual blessings when
sung in harmony"* and also by studying the nefarious origins of 440hz.
Tuning to 444hz corresponds to a "C" of 528hz on the Solfeggio Frequency
Scale, the exact frequency used by genetic biochemists to repair broken
DNA. This frequency is also believed to encourage "Transformation and
Miracles."
DARK FOREST's innate sense of melody remains intact on The Awakening,
as well as the band's trademarked epic twin-guitar dueling, but this
time the album is permeated by a general sense of oppression and sorrow
and sounds much more reflective than their previous works. Not by
coincidence, The Awakening opens with the ending lines of Percy
Bysshe Shelley's poem " The Mask of Anarchy" and ends with the anthem
"Sons of England". The awakening must be both spiritual and
intellectual and through the rediscovery of our roots and a connection
to nature, must lead all humanity to remember the truth - that we are
infinite consciousness and we are one. This is the realization that will
defeat the global control system of the elite and set humanity free.
