Forlorn - Forlorn

Perfection - 100%

DarthHaymore, July 14th, 2005

Out of all the Norwegian bands Forlorn is by far my favorite. This EP contains the best mix in Black Metal I've ever heard, polished yet having a soft warm feel that gives it a unique aura. Every instrument is perfectly balanced, totally distinct,& at the same time every instrument becomes one. Lush, Nordic, traditional acoustic passages & clean vocals comparable to Ulver's Bergtatt grace this masterpiece of modern art along with some of the most memorable Metal riffing man has ever known. Forlorn's EP has a strange somber yet uplifting & victorious overall feeling,
which is a difficult task seeing as most bands are one or the other. Don't expect holocaust blasting & some guy screaming Satan every 5 seconds... this is art, what you can expect (if you can find it that is,sadly it's long out of print) is your next favorite CD...
