"Món Oblidat" Forja's second album

Hi baliga balagues!

FORJA is a metal band born in 2012. Over the years the project has gone from being individual to being made up of five musicians who are passionate about what they do. Throughout our trajectory we have launched one EP (Tornant de la Batalla - 2015), one album (El Llibre dels Feyts - 2017) and two singles (2020 i 2022). In addition to having toured Catalonia, we have played in different cities of Spain like Madrid, Bilbao or Valencia and we also have toured countries like Germany, France or Slovenia, playing both in small format concerts and in festivals.

But the story continues with our next LP which will be called "Món Oblidat"

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.

How are we going to carry out this project?

Mixing will be done by Joost Van Den Broek and his team of Sandlane Studios in Netherlands, known to have worked with Epica, Blind Guardian, PowerWolf, Ayreon o After Forever among others.

Then we will send it to Tony Lindgren from Fascination Street Studios in Sweden, collaborators of bands as Paradise Lost, Dimmu Borgir i Opeth.

How we’ll use your donation?

The donations will be exclusively destined to the production of the new album. The financing objective it’s just a part of the total project cost, therefore, any extra contribution will be used to improve the production.
