Forestfather began in mid-1998 under the name of Eternal Winter, as a death/ black metal band. From 1998 to 2005 I composed many songs just for myself, without any need nor desire to keep records of them, let alone publishing them, excepting raw recordings whose goal was to hear the compositions as a whole so far.

In late 2006 I decided to record some material to show my musical work, especially to my closest friends. Finally in early 2007, I started to record some songs at home with the help of a friend who made the grim vocals. On that occasion we recorded 2 songs, which resulted the first untitled demo. In 2008 I recorded the instrumental ‘Nostalgia’ along with other songs that I’ll release at some point under different name, since it does not match the current direction of the project.

In 2010, Alwentraru joined the project, as vocalist. With his collaboration, the EP ‘A Tale of Memories’ was recorded, which is still unreleased due production issues. His release date has not been decided yet. Due the aforementioned production problems and a new set of songs composed during the recording sessions of ‘A Tale…’, Forestfather decided to work on a full length album, which is currently being recorded with a new line-up, with Michael Rumple (Desiderium, Sul ad Astral) as vocalist and Jared Moran (54R, Filtheater, Uzumaki, etc...) as drummer.
