The beauty of grim elements of death and decaying presented impeccably by the genre of melodic death metal always had a special place in my heart. Be it mainstream or underground, I have listened to almost every band or artist of the genre that exists. One such malevolent force that has impressed me the most is Ian DeVoss who mostly goes by the stage name Forlorn Forest. The creative majesty revealed through the destructive and deathcore instrumentation and trollish singing dexterity of his compositions marveled me effortlessly. Keeping a steady foot over the reality, the Wisconsin death metal artist presents an innovative sounding lyrical illustration that is bound to make a lingering impact on the psyche of the listeners.
Inspired the classic sound of the iconic stars like The Gates, Rings Of Saturn, DEATH, The Black Dahlia Murder, Jason Richardson, and Powerglove, Forlorn Forest has established a poised manifestation of nostalgic death metal groove blended with the contemporary Melo-death vibe. Powered by his unbound imagination and matchless creativity, the prolific musician has created a unique soundscape that satisfies the metal lover all over the globe. I was awestruck by the dynamic oscillation of gritty instrumentation that brings his breathtaking performance to life in ‘Moonrise’, ‘Shackled By Celestial Lights’, ‘Nomophobia’, and ‘Nearing The Hour’ from his latest EP called Death For The Maggots To Eat. Plug into YouTube to listen to his music and follow him on Facebook to know more about his upcoming works.
