1) Forest was a russian black metal band founded in 1994 as the project of Kaldrad (Branikald) and Dagorath (Rundagor).
In 2019 Kaldrad Branislav was killed after being struck by a car.
The concept of Forest was born after Kaldrad and Dagorathโs journey into the old woods where the long forgotten sacrificial places, forest temples and burial mounds of ancient Slavs were situated. The unique atmosphere of these haunted woods, the ghosts of the past channeled the inspiration into the hearts and minds of Forest creators and right after the return from this journey, in the Autumn of 1994 the debut demo of Forest was composed and recorded in an intuitive and spontaneous way. It had a very strange sound and 2 of 4 songs were not Black Metal, but some weird folk-like ambient compositions on guitars.
It was recorded only for close allies, and was never widely spread, although one track from this rehearsal called โWinter Howlโ is included unchanged in the 1996 self-titled demo, and another song called โLike A Shade Upon This Landโ was also included but in a re-recorded form.
In 2000 Forest was renamed to Varglodr.
In 2005, the name changed back to Forest and another album was released.
2) Forest was a British psychedelic folk rock band, active from 1968 to 1970.
Forest was a late 60โs minstrel/medieval type of folk-prog trio in the style of The Incredible String Band, Fairport Convention and Dr. Strangely Strange. Originally called The Foresters Of Walesby the band abreviated their name to Forest and were fortunate enough to meet John Peel at alocal gig and he encouraged them to play in London. After a triumphant gig in Notting Hillโs All Saints Hall at Christmastime 1968, Forest were offered amanagement deal with Blackhill Enterprises, home to amongst others, Pink Floyd and Roy Harper. It wasnโt long before offers of record contracts came their way and the band eventually signed to EMIโs nascent Harvest label. They released a couple of albums with dark but subtle acid lyrics, incorporating pipes, harmonium, harpsichord, mandolin, 12-string guitar and percussion to their sound. Their music doesnโt have the electricity normally associated with rock, yet it canโt be described as straight folk either, the lyrics being rather strange and the bandโs approach being far too eclectic.
3) Forest is a Japanese Doujin Circle.
4) Forest is a Hip-Hop artist from Burlington, Vermont (USA).
5) Forest is a Czech Black Metal band.
6) Forest is a British self-dubbed 'wash rock' band from Cambridge, United Kingdom.

Graveyard
Forest Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A body I have seen
From the sharp burn I have dreamed
That body was me
and the music in my ear
hows life
be full of fear
that music in my ear
coming near
Twisted faces I seem to apppear
Hows life
Be full of fear
All at once I stepped out of a dream
But a body
That was me
Twisted faces I seem to appear
Hows life
be full of fear
All at once I stepped out of a dream
But a body
That was me.
In a graveyard I have been.
A body I have seen.
From the sharp burn I have dreamed
That body was me.
The lyrics to Forest's song "Graveyard" describe a vivid and haunting dream in which the singer finds themselves in a graveyard, encountering a body that they later realize is their own. The first verse sets the stage for the dream, with the singer describing their experience in the graveyard and the vision of the body they have seen. The second verse delves deeper into the dream, with the singer hearing music in their ear that is both beautiful and full of fear. The repetition of the phrase "how's life, be full of fear" adds to the ominous and unsettling tone of the song.
The final two lines of each verse, "twisted faces I seem to appear/how's life, be full of fear" suggest that the singer is grappling with a sense of unease or anxiety about their own mortality. This feeling is heightened by the final lines of the song, in which the singer realizes that the body they saw in the graveyard was their own. The repetition of the phrase "in a graveyard I have been/a body I have seen/from the sharp burn I have dreamed/that body was me" underscores the sense of unease and finality that pervades the song.
Overall, "Graveyard" is a deeply introspective and haunting song that explores the complex emotions that arise when contemplating one's own mortality.
