Earlier this year we announced that work had begun on the follow up to last year’s “A Day in the Life of a Universal Wanderer”. The album received critically high praise with Prog/Classic Rock Magazine’s Geoff Barton voting it in his Critic’s Choice list for 2013.
Now we're delighted to share this page with you which should provide a nice little insight into our creative process!
“A Forest of Fey” will be the first release by the Gandalf's Fist as a four-piece and follows the psychedelic, folk-tinged journey of a young girl trapped in a malevolent woodland and features exciting guest contributions from Troy Donockley (Nightwish), John Mitchell (It Bites/Arena), Dave Oberlé (Gryphon), Clive Nolan (Pendragon/Arena) and Matt Stevens (Instrumental Artist/The Fierce and the Dead).
The bespoke Album art was created by German Artist Thomas Huth and the record is slated for an autumn release.
A Forest of Fey is now finished and is due for release on 20th October 2014!
Also, the Album is now available to PRE-ORDER NOW via our Store - this really helps us out as independent musicians as it means we don't have to source out a label or going through third-party crowd funding websites... so cheers for helping us out!
