Black Forest Metal from Germany

Still is the latest full-length release from German extreme metal collective Finsterforst, a band that has spent more than two decades forging its own unmistakable identity through what it calls 'Black Forest Metal.' Drawing from black metal, folk metal, epic arrangements, atmospheric soundscapes, and post-metal influences, the group continues to evolve without abandoning the core elements that have defined its music since its inception. Rather than conforming to a single genre, Finsterforst embraces contrast, blending crushing heaviness with cinematic grandeur, raw aggression with melancholy, and intimate emotion with sweeping orchestral scale.

Throughout Still, the band's expansive songwriting balances immense riffs, layered atmospheres, and emotionally charged compositions that explore sadness, triumph, rage, and reflection. Their refusal to remain stylistically static has allowed Finsterforst to continually refine a sound that is both immersive and instantly recognizable, resulting in one of their most ambitious and richly textured releases to date.

Presented as a deluxe Black Vinyl double LP, Still showcases the full seventy-eight-minute experience across two records. A CD edition is also available, but this vinyl pressing offers collectors a definitive presentation of the band's latest chapter and a compelling addition to any extreme metal collection.
