Z pierwszej plyty neopoganskiego projektu Darkena z Graveland.Jedna z najlepszych plyt poganskich-Forgotten songs z 1996 roku.
Forgotten Songs is not a metal release, but it has more spirit and power than most of the metal I've heard. Here, Darken takes the longing for ancient times and the heathen folk melodies of Graveland to the next level of purity. The album has themes of warfare, themes of tradition, themes of dedication to honor, to a long forgotten warrior ethos, and to the spirits of one's ancestors; all of which are presented with a strong pagan folk background and an unforgettable atmosphere that fires the imagination and truly takes the listener on a journey through the mists of the past.
The sound on Forgotten Songs is earthen and full, with simple folkish acoustic melodies flowing forward into repetitive movements over a foundation of primitive and well devised tribal drums, supported by tasteful, moody keyboard lines that stay well in the background and aid in the mythical atmosphere of the music. Distorted guitar is rarely present, and only makes its way into the foreground once on the album, during the doomy and truly somber track 10, "Funeral Song." Darken's restrained almost painful croak makes its presence known as he utters mournful, mythical, and epic tales and hymns to ancient ways and an ancient people. My favorite moment on this album is the combination of tracks 6 and 7: the spoken-word "Sword For Son" forms an enticing prelude for the epic "Father's Sword." Despite being largely instrumental, this sequence tells a remarkably vivid story; epic, for sure.
