Year 1992 was to be the birth of a musical journey into the unknown territory of epic sagas and futuristic ideas, based on the heritage of mankind, brought to life through the art of music. The project was named Forlorn, as it was a one-man-project in its birth. This, however, would prove to become way more than a one-man-project, as the project evolved itself through time, first expanding the project into a duo-project, then a trio-project. By this time the music had taken such form that Forlorn turned the project into a fulltime band, devoting themselves solely to the concept, and the allegiance of evolving metal music for the millennium...
Through the band 122-Stab Wounds, Alvarin & C. Worhn hooked up to form the fundament of Forlorn. At this point, Forlorn was still a mere project in the developmental stages. While working on their debut EP, Forlorn signed a deal with Head Not Found to release 2 cd's. Soon thereafter, Forlorn were joined by S. Aske on vocals and the first EP was completed. The work for "The Crystal Palace", their full-length debut, began early after the recording of the EP. "The Crystal Palace" was to be their final release with Head Not Found and also with vocalist S. Aske.

In 1999, Forlorn signed a 2 cd contract with Napalm Records. The release of their Napalm Records debut resulted in the piece Opus III-Ad Caelestis Res, which took a new turn in the Forlorn saga, both musically and lyrically. Still dealing with epic stories, the music went on to become more intense, yet atmospherically. After the release of opus III, a major change happened in the Forlorn camp which would prove to be a turning point. C. Worhn announced his departure. From there on Alvarin sought new members who could participate in evolving Forlorn and who was sure to be devoting, all as one...one as all...

To correspond with the all new Forlorn, Alvarin changed his artist-name accordingly, and now goes under the artist-name: Hennex.

Hennex found such members through engaging a talented BM drummer, S. Winter, whose dedication and seriousness would be an inspirational source for the assembling of the band. Next to be recruited was Dolgar, who by then had just left Gehenna due to internal conflicts. When asked to join Forlorn, he did with extreme dedication and with new ideas which will rock the very foundation of BM. Next in line Forlorn found Vulpes, a good friend of Hennex...originally a devoted and brilliant guitar player, but was asked to join Forlorn on bass. He accepted and is now a permanent and a key member of Forlorn. Last but not least, by coincidence, Forlorn managed to get a synthplayer with a keen interest in technological music...his name : Iego...by Iego's joining Forlorn, they are for the very first time in history a complete band, with musicians who all are involved in the creative process and thus making Forlorn a unit of musical diversities.

These days Forlorn are occupied working on their 4th release, which will differ from any previous works. Forlorn now consider themselves a live band, and thus loads of gigs will happen in the near future. Forlorn are also developing a new website to correspond with the changes that has happened the past year. It will be announced when finished.

The band split up in early 2004.
