In April 2001, the band enters the studio to record their first album entitled The Promise with the Quebec sound engineer : Pierre Remillard. The album will be mixed at the very reputable Victor studio in Montreal. In October 2001, the band officially releases their first album on the Canadian market. A few months later, one can read excellent reviews in important international metal magazines : Heavy oder was !? (Germany), Dark City (Russia), Burrn! Magazine (Japan), Hard Rock magazine (France), etc. In less than a year, the album is distributed in Japan by M&I, in Russia by CD Maximum, and in Europe by Just for kicks music.
This group made up of fervant musicians, Sonia Pineault (vocal), Martin Desharnais (guitar), Patrick Vir (bass), Mike Bélanger (drums) et Frédérick Desroches (keyboards) display some daring in producing a sound coming from the old countries. The outstanding talent that dwells within them along with the originality of a female vocal in a world dominated by men, gives them a sound that is very much their own, which propels them to the ranks occupied by bands of international calibre. Forgotten Tales music offers, the heavy metal enthusiasts as well as those fond of whatever is new, a musical performance with hints of classical, baroque and, at times, progressive influences. It stands out with its energy and rapidity without neglecting musicality. The power of its catchy refrains simply makes you want to sing them.
Following the large number of positive reviews found in various types of media (web sites, fanzines, radio stations, specialty magazines) from around the world, the band tackles the composing of music for their second album. In May 2002, the group has once again proved its worth in concert by doing the opening act for the German group Edguy on a visit to Quebec City. In November 2002, the group has returned on stage with the legendary power metal group: Gamma Ray. They made the fans vibrate to the sound of their energetic music.
The year 2003 marked the group’s return to the studio to record their second album entitled All the Sinners at the end of October of that year. With the assistance of the sound engineer, Pierre Talbot, Forgotten Tales has spent six months at Menzo studio, recording, refining and putting the finishing touches to their music. The result is not waited upon. The Japanese record company M&I announces the official release of the album in August 2004; the 18th, to be more precise. This, two weeks before the release in Canada. Already, reviews start coming out from everywhere, and the list of collaborators for large scale distribution does not stop lengthening…
In 2005, original drummer Cédric Prévost left the band, replaced by Mike Bélanger. At the beginning of the following year, the band opened for Finnish power metallers Sonata Arctica. In February 2007, the band announced their new keyboardist William Simard replaced, Frédérick Desroches. In February 2009, Desroches rejoined.
Their third album, We Shall See the Light, was released in 2010. This album was received well, reviews claiming that despite being an independent release, listeners "would not be able to tell". The drumming of Mike Belanger was praised, along with the strong vocal work of Sonia Pineault.
Today, it is with great pleasure that Forgotten Tales, a Canadian power metal band, continues their relentless work toward the attainment of their objectives. And this, to the great pleasure of the fans here and elsewhere.

Cold Heart
Forgotten Tales Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This loneliness is what I fear.
I'm looking silently at the night sky.
I am still searching the reason why...
You left me this way without a world to say
I thought our love would never fade away.
The stars don't shine anymore
Life on a battlefields, death and decay.
It's the dream , we are fighthing for?
Is this price we have to pay
For freedom and liberty.
I remember well your face that day.
Fade away, fade away
Our love just faded away
Far away, far away
You're just so far away
Oh, God give me the strength to stay
Life must go on , it's the only way
It's hard for me to accept that you're gone
A farewell my love, tell me how long?
This tragic destiny tears me apart
Never realized it could break my my heart.
Last night , I dreamt of you by my side
Still you're waiting for me on the other side
I know that one day , we'll be together again
I guess it's goodbye until then goodbye my love.
Fade away...
The song 'Cold Heart' by Forgotten Tales is a melancholic reflection on a lost love. The song starts with the singer sitting against a tree, overwhelmed by loneliness and trying to find the reason why their loved one left. The verses are full of despair and longing, as the singer remembers the good times they had together and the pain of their absence. The chorus, with its repetitive refrain of 'fade away', perfectly encapsulates the feeling of losing something important and watching it disappear without being able to stop it.
The second verse takes a slightly different turn, exploring the darker side of life and death. The singer ponders whether the freedom and liberty that comes with fighting for dreams is worth the price of life on a battlefield, marked by death and decay. The verse is a profound comment on the hardships of life and love, and how these two things are often intertwined. The chorus is repeated, and the song finishes with a mournful goodbye and a promise that the lovers will be reunited one day.
Overall, 'Cold Heart' is a powerful and emotional song that touches on universal themes of loss, grief, and hope. The lyrics are raw and deeply personal, yet they manage to convey the feelings of countless people who have experienced similar heartbreaks.
