REVIEW: DARK FOREST – Dawn of Infinity

 


DARK FOREST – Dawn of Infinity


Cruz Del Sur Music


The landscape of traditional heavy metal continues to evolve, with numerous releases that appeal to dedicated fans of the genre. Among these, British band DARK FOREST offers a notable contribution with their second album, “Dawn of Infinity”.


The band’s influences appear rooted in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), yet their approach integrates elements characteristic of U.S. and European power metal, resulting in a distinctive fusion of styles. The album is characterized by strong melodic lines that are immediately memorable, complemented by a balanced sound that maintains both melodic clarity and heaviness.



A comparison that may arise is to the works of CLOVEN HOOF, partly due to guitarist Christian Horton’s previous involvement with that band during 2008–2009. “Dawn of Infinity” demonstrates a high level of craftsmanship, with attention to detail evident throughout the album’s production.


Overall, the release reflects a mature and well-crafted effort within the heavy metal genre, which may appeal to listeners with high expectations for melodic and traditional metal sounds. As always, individual preferences will vary, but the album offers a noteworthy addition to the current metal scene.
