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).

Heroes
Forlorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The battle - bright warriors who strode to the field
Of the war, their swords a light in the fray?
The heroes are gone, they have all passed away
Where are the earls who led in the van?
The chieftains and kings who held sway in the land
Of our fathers, revered in the story and song?
Where are the unsung who silently strove,
The women and children and all the unknown
Who were models upon which to pattern our deeds?
Those heroes are gone, from this life they are freed.
And now in this time of dark of the sun,
Remember what is ended is only begun,
As sun sets each evening, she rises at morn,
To the halls of the gods are the heroes reborn.
And we, who with valor must conquer each day,
We to are heroes as gallant as they,
With the truth as our banner and courage our lights
We will come to those halls when we tread the long night.
So lift up a toast with the ale filled horn,
To those who have faced well their wyrd and are gone,
Live well your life and traditions all keep,
Drink to the gods and to hero this midwinter's eve
The song "Heroes" by Forlorn is a poignant tribute to the great ones who have come before us - the ones who have shown us what it means to be brave, to be leaders, and to be heroes. The lyrics are a lament for a time when heroes were more common, when warriors strode to the field with swords in hand, when kings and chieftains held sway over their lands, when women and children quietly strove to be models for others to follow. The song acknowledges that these heroes are gone from this world, but that they live on in memory and in the halls of the gods.
The song's chorus reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is hope. What has ended is only the beginning of something new. The sun sets each evening, but it rises again in the morning. Those who have faced their wyrd, their fate, with dignity and courage are reborn in the halls of the gods. And every day, we have the chance to be heroes ourselves - to face life with valor, truth, and courage, and to follow in the footsteps of those who have gone before us.
Overall, "Heroes" is a song that celebrates the idea that heroism is not just something that happened in the past - it's something that continues to happen every day, in small ways, among ordinary people. By honoring the heroes of the past, we can remember and celebrate the heroism that surrounds us today.

We carry the truth as our mission and courage as our guiding light,
We will come to those halls when we tread the long night.
We will also reach those halls of the gods when we pass through the long night of life.
So lift up a toast with the ale filled horn,
Let's all raise a glass filled with ale as a toast,
To those who have faced well their wyrd and are gone,
To those who have faced their fate with valor and have left us,
Live well your life and traditions all keep,
So live your life to the fullest and preserve all of your traditions,
Drink to the gods and to hero this midwinter's eve
Let's raise a toast to the gods and to all heroes on this midwinter's eve.
