Aether, the debut album from Forlorn, due out on March 2025 via Church Road Records, embodies a sound unfamiliar to many. Since their inception the Southern UK band have blended expressionist art, crushing soundscapes and paganism to carve out their own brand of innovative ‘Folk Horror’ and Aether, takes that to a whole new level.

Through, Aether, Forlorn pay their respects to the ‘elements’, acting as part of a Progressive Metal pagan ritual. Living in a day and age where music is produced to the grid, Forlorn knew long before creating Aether that they envisioned a sonic bombardment, with the help of producer, Sam Bloor (Graphic Nature, Black Coast, Dream State), that very initial thought became reality and the result is a crushing soundscape that’s soaked in energy and authentic destruction. The juxtaposition of ethereal vocals, with chaotic drums and crushing low-level guitars, paired with vocalist Megan Jenkin’s brutal screams, bring together Forlorn’s unique sound and visual identity.

Accompanying the announcement of their forthcoming new album, Forlorn have also released a brand new single today, with the destructive new track Funeral Pyre following on from earlier singles Spirit and Creatress.

Forlorn share, “Funeral Pyre explores the element of fire and in this sense as a powerful divination tool. We took inspiration from the 1973 film ‘The Wickerman’ and the concept of human sacrifice, in order for things to grow. We invite people to join us as we shed our naysayers and become stronger together.”
