Sonm, the very fact that you do have a choir or orchestra in your music is what made me a fan from the start. It is a blend of beautiful symphionic dark melodies, very much reminiscient of something done by ... (now i forgot the name of the composer) but either way, its reminiscient of very beauitful music, that rather than something you oculd bob your head to, or really listen to while driving down on the freeway, you feel it. Rarely is there any kind of a band that can make me be moved as much as Forest Stream, which I have been listening to a lot more now than ever before. I don't get depressed or sorrowful when I listen to the music, instead, I am reminded constantly of visiting my grandma in Narilsk, when I was 5 or 6. These kind of memories, pleasant though at times very encumbersome is what turns your music from just a song to an actual piece of art. I am positive that most people, if not all people, here will tend to agree that you guys have stepped way beyond the lines of heavy metal, then of music, and now should be considered true artists.
I just hope, that in the future more and more people will have the chance to listen to Forest Stream. So far anyone I introduce the CD to, never returns it, it is no wonder that I had to buy the CD about 4 times now.
So encumbersome, and maybe inefficient, but bring those orchestras to your shows, find those choir boys in the local Church, and bring to them the cold touch of Forest Stream!
