1. Forlorn was a Doom metal band from Gävle, Sweden. 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.
After the release of "OPUS III", a major change happened in the Forlorn camp which would prove to be a turningpoint. C. Worhn announced his departure and from there on Alvarin sought out new members who could participate in evolving Forlorn and who was sure to be devoting, all as one...one as all...
To correspond with the all new Forlorn, Alvarin changed his artist-name accordingly, and now goes under the artist-name "Hennex". Hennex found such members through engaging a talented BM drummer, S. Winter, whose dedication and seriousness would be an inspirational source for the band. Next to be recruited was Dolgar, who by then had just left Gehenna due to internal conflicts. When asked to join Forlorn, he did with extreme dedication and with new ideas which will rock the very foundation of BM. Next in line Forlorn found Vulpes, originally a devoted and brilliant guitarplayer, but was asked to join Forlorn on bass. He accepted and has from there on been a permanent and fully dedicated member.
Forlorn also recruited Iego to handle the keys, however, things did not work out the the band hoped for, so Forlorn subsequently recruited a new keyboardplayer; B. Lonafell - a talented and skilled musician, but once again it was the wrong man for the job. These days Forlorn are happy being the strengt of four, but have recruited Kine Hult (keyboard) for live shows. And by this Forlorn has come full circle. The machinery...the horsemen...the power is unleashed - prepare for metal worthy the gods of time!
Their latest audio-chapter "HYBERNATION" has gained massive acclamation around the world, and the band are now claiming new times as well as new ground!!!
3. Forlorn, a metal act from the West Midlands in England. Exploding on the metal scene in early 2006, they have created a sound which is powerful, yet remains unique when compared to other metal acts. Forlorn are known for their heavy sound and strong live performances.

Cubes
Forlorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Chaos is order, all as one
Empty shells without matter
Degenerating and collapsing
Untouchable are the sinners of slavery
Unforgivable democracy
False is true. The handmade truth
To imprision the free
I say: "Arm yourself"
Release your fear upon others
Inflict pleausure upon the worthy
Upon the few
Mechanic order, organic chaos
A painting by sand bliss
A painting without paint.
An inkless tattoo
Dead. All are dead
Resistance is everywhere,
Will it ever end
By my hand or a simple wish
Power of thougth.
Pain
Release me from captivity
Make way bastards
I am angry; with nothing to lose
This fight will be good
The lyrics of "Cubes" by Forlorn refer to the collapse and decay of society, where the madness has reached its peak and chaos is the new order. The lines "untouchable are the sinners of slavery, unforgivable democracy" suggest that there is a corrupt power structure that is suppressing the people's freedom. The lyrics also state that the truth is hand-made and molded to please the ones in power, resulting in a society that is no longer honoring the value of freedom. The chorus, "arm yourself" and "inflict pleasure upon the worthy," encourages people to stand up against their oppressors and take action.
The second verse of the lyrics mentions "mechanic order" and "organic chaos," which could be seen as a metaphor for the natural world versus the constructed world of society. The song seems to suggest that society has gone too far in its attempts to control nature and shape the world to its benefit. The bridge, "Resistance is everywhere, will it ever end? By my hand or a simple wish," could be interpreted as the singer wondering if there will ever be an end to this oppression or if they will have to take matters into their own hands to be free.
Overall, "Cubes" is a commentary on the state of society and the need for individuals to stand up against oppression and fight for their freedom.
