By September the group included Wilfrid Rodel (drums), Jérome Deres (Vocal, Guitar) and soon after Georges Nogueira (Keyboards) joined. The first demo tape "War and Poetry" was self produced and 300 copies (tapes) were on sale during October/November 1994, all copies were sold quickly. Another 1500 copies (MCD) were produced for spring 1995 by Adipocere records. Towards the end of 1995, Jerome Deres decided to quit playing the guitar to concencerate on vocals and lyrics. At this stage a new member joined, Ferederic Mariotti (guitar). During that time Adipocere suggested the recording of a first album. The album was created during 1996 and recorded in February 1997. In September 1997, 3500 copies (Digipack Version) of "Contes Et Legendes D'Efeandyl" were produced and immediately sold out. In spring 1998 another 1000 copies (Crystal Version) were produced and again sold out. Denis Barjettas left the group in April 1998 after a farewell concert in Macon (France). During the same month Nicolas Le Tutour joined the group and did his first gig in May 1998 at the Gibus (Paris). When Adipocere records decided to stop the production, the group self produced the MCD "Huskaleil" and released 1000 copies in January 1999. The MCD was recorded by Fred Rochette (Kalisia, Nells, Fifty One, Toxic Twins ...). This gave a new direction to the group in their sound production. By now, the band is preparing a new double album. The forest of souls has not finished yet counting you new copies.

Deliverance
Forest of Souls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Streets full of madness
And I don't know where to turn
Driving me insane I have to get away
The one-eyed leads the blind to decay

Can't keep away...

A moment seems an eternity
A lifetime lived in a dream
Over and again but you know the end
Do you have the same dream like me?

And my spirit is free
I'm more than what you can see
I will make you believe

Can't keep away...

Through endless fields of fire
I've walked among the dead
Forced of greed, taking the lead
Our souls are hanging by a thread

And my spirit is free
I'm more than what you can see
I will make you believe





And my spirit, rides the breeze...

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Forest of Souls' Deliverance paint a picture of a chaotic and overwhelming world: streets full of madness, a feeling of being trapped without any clear escape routes. The imagery is dark and disturbing, emphasizing the sense of isolation and desperation that the singer feels, as they seek to break free from the confusion and decay around them. The reference to the "one-eyed leads the blind" is particularly striking, suggesting a lack of trust in anyone to guide them through the turmoil.


As the song progresses, the mood shifts slightly, with a focus on the idea of time and the fleeting nature of life. The lines "a moment seems an eternity / a lifetime lived in a dream" reflect a sense of disorientation and uncertainty, as the singer struggles to make sense of their surroundings. But there's also a note of defiance and determination, as they declare that they will make others believe in their own inner strength and power.


The final verse takes an even darker turn, with references to death and destruction. Yet, the emphasis remains on the idea of a free spirit, one that can transcend the chaos of the physical world and soar above it all. The final line, "And my spirit, rides the breeze," is a powerful statement of liberation and freedom, suggesting that even in the face of overwhelming darkness, there is always the possibility of transcendence and hope.


Overall, Forest of Souls' Deliverance is a haunting and powerful exploration of the human condition, and the struggle to find meaning and purpose even in the midst of chaos and confusion.
