00:22 - Desha

yeah for me too and I doubt it'll get beaten unless Ashenspire drops a new one until the year is over

00:22 - Desha

-- shout deleted --

23:39 - InnerSelf

Sounds pretty good. AFoS is AOTY for me up until now though

23:02 - Desha

it's definitely much more approachable music than regular AFoS has become

22:54 - no one

I think I like it better than forest on a first listen

22:34 - X-Ray Rod

Aw hell yeah the new The Water Witch is out. I'll check it out tonight. About half the line up is from A Forest Of Stars and their debut was a very intriguing black metal release with some haunting folk vibe going on.

22:34 - Desha

@nikarg it's basically just a forest of stars members making more normal prog/folk black metal
