Biography

There are at least 3 bands with the name Forlorn.

1.) Swedish Epic Doom Metal act, which is known as “pre-Isole” band. They were founded in 1991 and through 10 years (until 2001) released 6 demos. Then the band was renamed to Isole.

2.) Through the band 122-Stab Wounds, Alvarin & C. Worhn hooked up to form the fundament of Forlorn. At this point, Forlorn was still a mere project in the developmental stages. While working on their debut EP.

Forlorn signed a deal with Head Not Found to release 2 CD’s. Soon thereafter, Forlorn were joined by S. Aske on vocals and the first EP was completed. The work for “THE CRYSTAL PALACE”, their full-length debut, began early after the recording of the EP; and was to be the final release on Head Not Found and with vocalist S. Aske.

In 1999, Forlorn signed a 2 CD contract with Napalm Records. The release
of their Napalm Records debut resulted in the piece “OPUS III - AD CAELESTIS RES”, which took a new turn in the Forlorn saga, both musically and lyrically. Still dealing with epic stories, the music went on to become more intense, yet keeping the atmospherical elements intact.

    (NOR) It's not the best stuff out there, but I quite enjoy the EP and first full-length (the only once I've heard this far). If someone likes the very, very melodic part of black metal, closing in on folk metal, this should be very pleasing and the Viking metal tag isn’t that bad either, there are some small traces of Bathory here, but they don’t come close to what he once created.

    Ad Caelestis Res is one of my favourites. I usaully don't like these kind of vocals, but theres something special about this album that makes me hold on to it.
