About Forsakken

In the artist’s words: Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. We are influenced by the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Our music has given us the reputation of being New York City's headbanging, horns up, defenders of the traditional heavy metal faith. What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Black Sabbath, Paranoid Dio, Holy Diver (Remastered) Judas Priest, British Steel (Bonus Track Version) (Remastered) We believe these albums are a big part of the foundation of traditional heavy metal. There is no understating how influential they are to the genre and to us. Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “Malevolent Spirit” The song Malevolent Spirit perfectly captures our influences and what we can do with them. To us, songwriting is a form of musical alchemy or sonic sorcery and Malevolent Spirit encapsulates that philosophy.
