I, Forlorn are a solo project from the Netherlands that plays an atmospheric mixture of doom and death metal and this is a review of his self released 2017 album "My Kingdom Eclipsed" which will be released on August 31st.
Tragic sounding piano's start off the album along with some acoustic guitars being added onto the recording a few seconds later while the solos and leads are done in a very melodic fashion which also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs and you can also hear all of the musical instruments that are present on the recording.
Vocals are mostly death metal growls along with a few black metal screams while the riffs also bring in a decent amount of melody and a great portion of t he tracks a re very long and epic in length and a lot of the music is very heavily rooted in the 90's and when the music speeds up briefly a small amount of blast beats can be heard and as the album progresses symphonic synths can also be heard in certain sections of the recording.
I. Forlorn plays a style of doom/death metal t hat is very atmospheric and heavily rooted in the 90's along with a touch of black metal, the production sounds very professional while the lyrics are a concept album based upon depression and sadness.
In my opinion I Forlorn are a very great sounding atmospheric doom/death metal solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "House Of Glass" "Spiral's End" and "Embers". 8 out of 10.
