Forja released Món Oblidat’. Since November 25, 2024, Forja’s second full-length album has been available on all digital platforms and in digipack edition at the band’s official store.

Forja’s new album is an innovative and profound musical proposal, blending diverse styles such as metal, classical music, jazz, and funk, creating a unique sound and a sensory journey through musical diversity.

In this third chapter, we delve into the mythological figure of the “Mother of the forest”, a character that embodies the essence of nature and ancestral wisdom, as well as fertility and rebirth, reminding humans of the importance of living in harmony with their surroundings. Thus, the “Mother of the forest” not only fills the world with life but also invites us to be part of this wonderful tapestry that connects all beings.

Forja releases “Fosques Bèsties”, the second single from the upcoming full-length album “Món Oblidat.”

In this second release, no specific mythological beast is referenced, but it should be noted that the primary source of inspiration has been the “dip”: a kind of evil, hairy, lame-legged vampire dog that fed by sucking the blood of its victims and was considered an emissary of the devil. In fact, in Catalonia, there is a town in the province of Tarragona called Pratdip, and its coat of arms features this mythological figure.

The “Fosques Bèsties” (Dark Beasts) become the representation of evil, the darkness, the obscurity so feared by our ancestors and that we have also inherited. Though in different circumstances and with different connotations, these fears remain alive and latent in our daily lives.

Forja releases “Pare Llop,” a single from the album “Món Oblidat.”
In this first glimpse of what is to come, we delve into the mythological figure of “Pare Llop” (Father Wolf), an ancient character who leads all the wolf packs.
In this song Forja has had the privilege of featuring the legendary voice of Quim Mandado (Sangtraït, LGP).

What is this album about?

“Món Oblidat” (forgotten world) is a concept album about the self-discovery and personal reunion of Cassandra, a woman lost in a grey frustration life in the urban modern times. Her involuntary entrance at “Món Oblidat”, catches her in a place inhabitated by Catalan mitologic and folkloric creatures where she is going to lose herself through the night of the times. She will remain there, entering, until she finds herself through the encounter with these mysterious beings.

In this album, Cassandra’s observant gaze transports us beyond the space-time, accompanying her on a cross-border trip where, immersed in uncertainty, we can be in touch with the “essence” and transform the collective where it unfolds.

Embark on this exciting journey and discover yourself, like we have done, among impossible creatures and wild spaces. We will wait for you!
What can we find there?

It is a very personal album emerged from a true journey to the deeps of our soul. The outcome is, a very diverse work where every song narrates a different chapter belonging to a same history, creating narrative and musical thread that accompanies us.

That’s why we don’t stick to one particular style and we invite you to transit from symphonic metal to death metal, going through “folk” flavored songs to other more “electro” and from raw riffs to orchestral parts full of delicacy, epic and depth.
