Biography:
Aurora Forrest is an experimental black metal band from Charlotte, North Carolina. After a two year history involving constant member rotations, a change in the band name, and a choppy rehearsal demo, Aurora Forrest dropped it’s original melodic death metal/ folk ambient and developed it’s own take on black metal and avant garde music. Currently working on it’s first full-length album, Requiem For The Living, Aurora Forrest has stretched it’s style from industrial black metal, neoclassical ambiance, shoegaze, and atmospheric death metal while keeping the same common ground that links each song with the band’s overall lyrical concept. Each song chronicles a piece in the story of a rogue vampiress who desires revenge against her fellow brethren. The main idea is to convey the emotions felt by the characters to more universal topics of love, desire, hate, mysticism, and misanthropy. Requiem For The Living is slated to be released 6/3/08 on Nox Noctis Productions followed shortly by the release of the band's first split with Echoes Of Silence, which has been kept under wraps until most recently.

In The Works:
NEW ALBUM NOW OUT ON NOX NOCTIS PRODUCTIONS!
In the first three months of production I have sold 22 Persona Series Cassettes. These albums are completely original 45 minute recordings, named after the purchaser who also retains full rights to further production of, and broadcast of the release. Each Persona Tape comes with 2 hand drawn mini posters, and a hand drawn cover. This is the most unique and exciting release you will ever own, order yours now for $10 (domestic shipping included, international shipping determined by distance) while I still feel like making them! Thanks for your time, and thanks for letting me advertise on this site :)
My new full length cassette HIGH ABOVE THE HORIZON is now availble for $4, domestic shipping included! This album features some incredibly experimental vocal work, trippy acoustic guitar lines, and SUPER crunchy riffs all mixed with nasty ass electronics. This is the best bang for your buck you will see this year!!!!!! -Z
I am now
recording for a new set of releases called the "Persona Series". These
cassettes will be commissioned works (not by content, but by payment)
for individuals. If John Smith in London, England wants his own Zebulon
Kosted album, I will make a 45 minute album (one side of a 90 minute
tape), 2 hand drawn mini posters, I will name the album after him
(Zebulon Kosted - John Smith), and the fan will retain all rights to
the recording (for use of any future release, sampling, or broadcasting
rights). One copy of the album will remain in my personal collection,
and one will be sent to the customer, so that the only copy that will
be in circulation will be John Smiths copy! Each album is available for
the ridiculously low price of $10 (not including shipping), and will be
shipped in its completed form no later than 6 weeks from the date of
purchase!!!
My split with Moroccan madmen Terre & Neige is now available from Black Noise Records! Please support this quality label, they fulfill the destiny of the underground!!!
