Forgotten Woods & Ravn...


Raw as fuck demos with throat-cancer style vocals. Totally underrated (although lauded critically) considering they stood alongside the likes of Burzum, Ildjarn, et al, playing dirty and depressive, misanthropic Black Metal.

Ravn was the side project of Rune Vedaa (who with Olav Berland have been the only consistent members of Forgotten Woods) and was formed in 93 and changed the name (ever so slightly) to Raven after these demos were released. Rumours say that Raven is now a solo band, changed their name to Mengele, and is still making music, but not recording.

(I can't remember if ive posted Forgotten Woods last long player 'Race of Cain', i know the first album 'As the Wolves Gather' is back in the archives but if not go see Attila The Hun and he'll sort you out)

  1. The bottom two photos are hilarious. Is Nylon eating a turkey leg? Smoking weed out of a baby? And "Tork" looks like he was caught totally off guard. I'll have to listen to this.
