Forgotten Woods
As the Wolves Gather
[No Colours]


This is the first album of Norwegian FORGOTTEN WOODS, who used to sound so much like BURZUM that you won’t believe your ears at the first listen. The rocking catchiness, melancholic hypnosis and also some of the ingenuity of composition that albums like ”Det Som Engang Var” had, are there in this hour of winter forest black metal.

Of course, vocals, production and instrumental performance are tailored to be as close to BURZUM as Elvis imitators can match the alien-abducted rockstar. Some listeners might get bored because FORGOTTEN WOODS are nowhere near the purity of feeling and trueness of BURZUM, but it’s not bad for those who really get great kicks out of this style.
