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).

Silent Demise
Forlorn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But yet... death still surrounds me
Made a servant of my own departure
Viral infestation, terror on the body
Till death do us depart
A war inside me, and I keep losing terrain
Growing weaker - fading day by day
Born into eternal life
Empty is my demise
A shadow of me am I
I crave not this despair
Into my nightmare I crawl
This deadly companion of mine
Like cold winds from the north
My body turns frozen and void
To those I'll leave behind;
Remember now that I am free
And that I do not endure this pain no more
... I am free
In aeturnus... dolor et timor
(For eternity... misery and fear)
I become one with eternity
I aeturnus... equiden silens mors
(For eternity... my truly silent demise)
To slowly fade away
No peaceful ending, no worthy way out
The shadows of death are closing in on me
No graceful journey, no perfect harmony
In desolation I see the end
Viral infestation, terror on the body
Till death do us depart
Viral... Terror... Death... Depart...
The lyrics to Forlorn's song Silent Demise are haunting and contemplative, describing the experience of living with a deadly illness. The first two lines convey a sense of isolation, as if the singer is keeping the world at a distance in order to protect themselves. Despite this, death still surrounds them, and they feel like they are a servant of their own departure. This sets up the theme of the song, which is the internal struggle of a person facing the end of their life.
The second verse dives deeper into this struggle, with the singer describing their body as a battlefield that they are losing. They are fading and growing weaker every day, and they know that their time is limited. The tone of the song is somber, but there is also a sense of acceptance in the lyrics. The singer is not fighting their fate, but rather acknowledging it and trying to find peace in it.
The final verse is perhaps the most poignant, as the singer addresses those they will leave behind. They want to be remembered as free from their pain and suffering, and they express a desire to fade away slowly into eternity. The final lines of the song bring the focus back to the present moment, describing the terror and inevitability of death that the singer is facing.
Overall, Silent Demise is a powerful song that deals with difficult themes in a sensitive and nuanced way. It is not a song to be taken lightly, but rather one that demands attention and respect for the emotions it conveys.

This is gorgeous. A shining example that black metal is more than just tremolo picking and blast beats. Out of all the metal genres (and I love most of them), black metal may be the most beautiful, haunting, and aesthetically pleasing of them all.
Alianger
Well this is folk music, not really metal lol
M.J.
@Alianger This is a metal band. It's just an acoustic instrumental song. lol

Gerson Zelaya
Naglfar "A departure in Solitude"
Dissection "No dreams breed in breathless sleep"
Abyssos "She only flies at Night" also are good instrumental songs.
