DARK FOREST<\/strong>‘s third album \u201cThe Awakening\u201d will be released on February 28th in Europe and March 6th in the USA, and so far it has been very well-welcomed by the Metal press.<\/p>\n

To convince you that this album is rightly been regarded as “one of the best heavy metal releases of early 2014”,\u00a0 the band has released a videoclip of their new anthem \u201cSons of England\u201d (without doubt, one of the most memorable songs amongst \u201cThe Awakening”‘s setlist). Watch the video here:<\/p>\n

These are some of the European press’ comments:<\/p>\n

“Ein stimmiges Album.” (Time for Metal, D)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“Dark Forest levert met ‘The Awakening’ een cd af met 9 sterke heavymetalnummers en een die makkelijk mee kan met de top van de heavy metal. Goede plaat!” (White Room Reviews, NL)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Awakening\u201d is one of the first real heavy metal highlights of 2014. Please let there be many more!” (Metal Squadron, N)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“Das dritte Album der von Hingabe beseelten Briten, die ihre Band 2002 gr\u00fcndeten. Epischer und melodischer Heavy Metal, zuweilen nahe dran am Power Metal. Mit vision\u00e4r-vertr\u00e4umter Aura!” (EMP, D)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“Ein wahres Jahreshighlight, das von Mal zu Mal st\u00e4rker in den Ohren knallt und jeden Liebhaber epischen True Metals zum Jauchzen bringen wird.” (Stormbringer.at, AT)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“Ein klassisches Metal-Album mit leicht epischem Charakter.” (Legacy, D)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

“Traditioneller Heavy Metal mit viel Melodie und einigen fr\u00fchen Speed-Elementen.” (Bleeding4Metal)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
