Across its five tracks, the duo embrace rock energy and medieval mysticism, crafting music that feels equally suited for the stage and for a night spent in shadowy reflection.
The opening track, Witch, paves the way with a cinematic spoken introduction that quickly pulls the listener into a dark and enveloping atmosphere. When the full band kicks in, the track transforms into something grand, almost like a gothic Broadway musical. The fusion of drama and rock power here establishes the duo’s unique approach right away.
The Raven follows with epic choral chants, reminiscent of Gregorian traditions. When paired with hard rock guitars, the result feels fantastical, conjuring imagery of battlefields and soaring ravens. It’s one of the most striking songs on the album, marrying historical reference with contemporary heaviness.
Blood of the Moon leans further into medieval flavor, beginning with a Latin spoken passage that enhances the sense of ritual. The track grows steadily, layering intensity until it erupts into an epic arrangement that defines the duo’s signature style. The integration of AI-generated elements adds another dimension, creating textures that feel futuristic while still grounded in gothic roots.
With The Damned King, the duo push the energy from the very start. Driving rhythms and a soaring chorus make this one of the album’s most powerful songs, designed to be shouted back in unison. It embodies the epic scope that Gothic Aesthetic pursue throughout the record.
The closing track, Final Bell, begins with a slower, cadenced rhythm, offering a contrast to the rest of the album. As it develops, rich drumming patterns and harmonic variations give the piece depth, leading to a powerful conclusion.
Tales of the Dark Forest is a bold, theatrical release that thrives on contrasts—light and dark, past and future, ritual and rock. Gothic Aesthetic prove they are not afraid to embrace drama while experimenting with modern tools, resulting in an album that feels epic and imaginative.

Gothic Aesthetic is a gothic duo, equal parts guitar wrath and spectral voice. They don’t write songs. They conjure moods.
This is drama, distortion, and desire — all in black lace.
