Forlorn guide us track by track through the creation of their debut album ‘Aether’, out now via Church Road Records.Mother Of Moon“We have crafted ‘Aether’ to embody the essence of pagan ritual, with each track honouring the alchemical elements of Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Spirit. We open the circle with Mother of Moon, an ambient offering within which we venerate Goddess and Mother of Witches, Hekate.
We ask her to cleanse us in preparation for the journey ahead.”Creatress“The concept of ‘Creatress’ is centred around the element of Earth and is inspired by the ancient norse deity Moder. Drawing parallels between humanity’s relationship with Mother Earth and women in modern society, in return of care and respect you shall receive eternal life and abundance.
Female empowerment has been a core theme that has developed across our offerings; ‘Creatress’ honours the ancient matriarch, a societal archetype often disregarded as worthless, particularly in modern day society.”The Wailing“A visceral and unrelenting track, ‘The Wailing’ depicts the element of Air as a powerful connecting force which gives us life but is also capable of unimaginable devastation. Conceptually inspired by western horror film ‘The Wind’, the song tells the story of a woman attempting to survive in the harshest of landscapes whilst also trying to outrun her demons.
Perhaps the most progressive track on the album, our vision was to showcase the element in as much depth as.
