Dark Forest - melodies from the U.K.

Having long ago established their reputation for quality melodic traditional heavy metal, the long-running act Dark Forest (U.K.) nowadays delivers melancholic vibes in their melodies that make their songs rather difficult to turn down. This new EP is (five songs in 26 minutes) has such good singing, songwriting and melodies that perhaps anyone that listens to guitar-focused classic rock would find this music enjoyable at least. For instance, would Iron Maiden audiences not like this music? The strong guitar melodies suggest that fans of classic U.F.O. or Boston may get a kick out of these sweet guitar melodies. The good singing also helps! This band is not an iron-and-steel style of heavy metal. They have a certain melancholy in their sound that makes the songs soft and pleasant in the way of those previously mentioned greats. Anyway, I have heard this EP many times now and it’s such a fun, entertaining listen. It will make you feel good, but may give you some sad feelings, too, like Maiden, U.F.O or Boston do.
