Greetings,
A Forest of Stars' Opportunistic Thieves of Spring CD is finally out! The now quintuplet (having added talented drummer John Bishop to the fourfold) took the elements brought fourth on their sophomore effort, The Corpse of Rebirth, and brought them to a whole new level, adding new sound textures to the mix with oriental percussion and peculiar string arrangements. Opportunistic Thieves of Spring will carry the listener through a vast musical landscape: an unearthly journey from the rise of mankind to the Golden Age to its decline in the Kali Yuga. Available in a special slipcard digipak including a large foldout booklet.
