Emerging from the misty shores of Waterford, Ireland, Forlorn has made a striking entrance into the melodic black metal scene with their debut demo single, Extremus Tempus Sanctus.

Combining atmospheric melodies with raw, unrelenting aggression, the track captures an eerie yet majestic soundscape that feels both modern and deeply rooted in black metal tradition.

The vocals are chilling, cutting through a tapestry of intricate guitar riffs and thunderous percussion, while the subtle layers of melody hint at a sophisticated compositional approach. Fans of bands like Dissection and Emperor will appreciate Forlorn’s ability to balance blistering intensity with haunting beauty. If this demo is any indication, Forlorn is a band to watch in the underground scene—a promising new voice for the genre.
