Forsaken Art
ABOUT FORSAKEN ART
Forsaken Art embarked on its musical odyssey in Lisbon, Portugal, in the early 2000s, initially as a black metal one-man project led by Carlos Rosão. The music, raw and intense, carved out its own niche with the release of the first demo, "The Awakening of a New Era," in 2003, subsequently plunging into the depths of the uncharted.
Nearly two decades later, an encounter between Carlos and Nuno Silva Pereira (of Reverent Tales) marked a transformative chapter for Forsaken Art. Together, they steered the project's sound away from the abrasive edges of black metal towards the evocative expanse of dark ambient music. Forsaken Art now traverses the shadowed alleys of human experience, weaving a haunting mosaic of auditory, visual, and conceptual artistry that urges listeners to confront their deepest fears. This endeavor has become a refuge for delving into seldom-spoken themes: the solitude of the soul, existential unease, and the peculiar allure of decay. Each creation acts as a gateway into the soul's abandoned chambers, fostering a profound, introspective dialogue with our darkest facets.
Through a delicate fusion of macabre elegance and ethereal soundscapes, enriched by the art of spoken word, Forsaken Art shatters conventional confines, guiding audiences on a purgative exploration of what has been left behind: the forgotten, the lost, and the hauntingly beautiful.
A journey of self discovery in a post-apocalyptic world
Amid the remnants of a world reshaped by cataclysmic tremors, unfolds a voyage that transcends the mere act of traversal—it's a journey toward the core of one's existence, a quest for the elusive truth.
In the haze of this apocalyptic aftermath, a lone figure emerges, navigating the terrain of survival. There's a murmur in his soul, a whisper carried by the wind, and in the night's embrace, he dreams of the sea. This vision, a flicker of both solace and intrigue, plants the seed of a journey, one that propels him to venture into the unknown in search of elusive answers.
Are his dreams the doors to alternate dimensions or mere echoes of his mind's desires? The perils that lurk along his path are like shadows cast by the uncertain flicker of candlelight. Yet, even in the face of these challenges, he walks, step by measured step, each footfall echoing his desire for understanding.
Will the shores of the sea, with its timeless whispers, offer the truths he seeks? Will its waves bear the wisdom that unravels the knots of his uncertainties? You have to experience Hypnagogia to find out!
