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.

In 2009 they were signed up by London based Rising Records, & released their first full album in September 2010 - 'The Rotting'. They have previously released two EPs - 'Hearts to War' (2007) and 'The Forlorn Hope' (2008).

Disintegration
Forlorn Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life
Another sense of reality
Could be an illusion
Possibly a nightmare

Galactic on forward in motion
Cursed systematic evolution
Genetic codes

Programmed to failure
Dismay is the new content

Mechanic organs - organic chaos
Creation of bitter times

Flesh or mechanics
Soul or software
Not in control
Can't be rebuilt to think
Force field emotions
Internal confusion
To be something but no one
The curtain falls hard on illusion

Disintegrate to create

I see the new stave

I see the same dismay
Same shit, new day

Overall Meaning

The song "Disintegration" by Forlorn talks about the nature of reality and how it is perceived by individuals. The lyrics suggest that life may be an illusion, and that it could also be a nightmare. Furthermore, the idea of evolution is shown as being cursed, something that is programmed to fail due to genetic codes. The creation of bitter times is also present, and the distinction between mechanic organs and organic chaos is explored. In addition, the lyrics highlight the idea that individuals aren't in control of their lives, and that they can't rebuild themselves to think. The concept of force field emotions and internal confusion are also present, suggesting a feeling of being lost.

The final part of the song seems to conclude that despite facing the same dismay every day, life must disintegrate to create something new. The new stave is seen, presenting hope for the future. However, the reality of the situation remains the same.
