Dark Forest, a heavy/power metal outfit from , will release the five-song EP Ridge & Furrow this October via Cruz Del Sur Music. The follow-up to 2020's Oak, Ash & Thorn was recorded at Hellfire Studios in the Midlands of England with producer Ajeet Gill.

"As I began to write new material during 2020, it occurred to me that if we could get enough songs to form an EP and have it recorded and released by 2022, it would be the perfect thing to mark the occasion of the band’s 20th anniversary," says guitarist and primary songwriter Christian Horton. "This is one reason why the project began to take on a personal significance. As the founder of Dark Forest, it would serve as a milestone on the band’s journey and is why I decided to handle a lot of aspects of the record myself, including the artwork. The EP became a project that was close to my heart and I also wanted to bring back something of the early Dark Forest atmosphere, as I used to do the art back then too, to create a kind of symmetry between points in time."
