Napalm\/Sound Pollution<\/p>\n
FORLORN was formed in 1990, and eventually morphed into ISOLE in 2003 to avoid mix-ups with another band. The reborn band released three albums in two years, with the debut \u201cForevermore\u201d in 2006 and both \u201cThe Beyond\u201d and \u201cThrone of Void\u201d in 2008. Moving to Napalm Records they released \u201cSilent Ruins\u201d in 2009, and a successor in the same apocalyptic vein was promised. \u201cBorn from Shadows\u201d is here now, the future of Swedish doom is saved\u2026or?<\/p>\n
Opener \u201cThe Lake\u201d has a familiar ring to its title (KING DIAMOND anyone?) but the style is not quite that of ISOLE in the past. I miss the near CANDLEMASS pace of yesteryear is replaced by a more arty approach. There is even some jazzy guitar work, many changes of pace and only a basic pattern of their former style. \u201cBlack Hours\u201d displays the same change into an intricate, if not ceremonious pompous and desolate style. Two songs are in the 10 minute vicinity; the title track and \u201cMy Angel\u201d. The title track is atmospheric, interspersed with growl and filled with pace changes. The speedier parts are totally fine, the rest is back to the arty style. The advantages of the band now lie in their sense of doom and gloom, not least through the use of keyboards. The guitar picking acoustic parts are also an asset. The, for the genre, swift guitar patterns of old are just that, a piece of band history. The chanting vocals and depressed emotions are bonuses for some, not for me. I miss the ISOLE of days gone by and cannot recommend this to their old fans. <\/p>\n
