Artist History Year 1992 was to be the birth of a musical journey into the unknown territory of epic sagas and futuristic ideas, based on the heritage of mankind, brought to life through the art of music. The project was named Forlorn, as it was a one-man-project in its birth. This, however, would prove to become way more than a project, as the music evolved itself through time, first expanding the project into a duo, then a trio. By this time the music had taken such form that Forlorn turned the project into a fulltime band, devoting themselves solely to the concept, and the allegiance of evolving metal music into the millenium... 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. "The CrystalPalace" was to be their final release with 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 resultet 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 intence, yet atmospherical. 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 seeked 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, whos dedication and seriousness would be an inspirational source for the assembling of 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 is now a permanent keymember in Forlorn. Forlorn also recruited Iego to handle the keys, however, he did not work out as we had hoped, and we got a new keyboardplayer in 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(key) for live shows. And this completes Forlorn. The machine, the horsemen, the power is set free...prepare for darkness ! Their latest audio-chapter “ Hybernation “ is being released throughout Europe the 3rd of February, claiming new times aswell as new ground !!! More ? www.forlorn.no …audio for the wicked
