FORLORN - The Crystal Palace / Forlorn Digi-CD

Official reissue of "The Crystal Palace" (1997) full length album together with the debut EP "Forlorn" (1996) by the Viking/Epic Black Metal band FORLORN.
A rare example of pure art from the cold Norwegian lands full of triumphant and mystic sound, brilliant atmospheres with nordic traditional acoustic passages and medieval melodies.
Limited Digipak Cd edition with 12 page booklet.

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
