Skyforest is a Russian Atmospheric Black/ Post-Black Metal band founded by B.M. (ex-Autumn's Kingdom, A Light in the Dark, Blurry Lights, Goatech, Hiki, Traceline, ex-Annorkoth) in Podolk, an industrial city in the Moscow oblast . First writings and recordings were made in the beginning of 2013, but the first release surfaced only in the mid-2014, when session members were found for a proper recording. The album Aftermath, featuring great names of the genre as session musicians, and it was released on August 29, 2014.
Second album of Skyforest. It was written entirely during autumn-winter 2015. It is sharing a bit more positive and hopeful vibe than Aftermath. Lyrically, the album is about unity with nature and unity with yourself.
"On August 2nd the band released their new EP called "Harmony". This EP is entirely acoustic but I'm not abandoning metal! It's just a transition from Unity to the next album which will come eventually (I hope for 2020). This EP will also flow perfectly combined with Unity album, so you can try shuffle them :)
Once again, thanks to Michael Rumple for his nicely done clean vocals (he's now a part of Skyforest officially) and Arina Fox for her beautiful and atmospheric singing in the title song (she also did vocals in my other dream pop project Hiki, on latest album).
Also thanks to СЕРГЕЙ ШЕНДЕРОВСКИЙ for his incredible artwork! Once again he was able to draw exactly what I was imagining.
I've been dreaming about the acoustic EP in this project long before even Unity was born, so that's another dream fulfilled." - Commented B.M
The music continues to expand the ideas left in B.M.'s previous project, Annorkoth, and basically it's a continuation of it under the new name. It's not just a simple name change but a separate project.
Harmony is totally acoustic and brings glaring similarities to Blurry Lights, another great B.M project that blends neo classical music with cinematic symphonies.
