Forest Of Shadows于1997秋成立于瑞典的哈姆斯塔德(Halmstad),最初由于没有合适的人选,尼科拉斯准备把乐队弄成一个人乐队。1998年Jhan Svensson(约翰 斯文森)加入,但不久因理念不合离去。同年Niclas找到了一个志趣相合的朋友Micce dersson(麦斯 安德森)两个人一起录制了Eternal Autumn. 1999年初尼科拉斯和安德森俩人联系了大名鼎鼎的Katatonia 并翻唱了他们的Rainroom 。
1999年11月尼科拉斯的同学Martin Classon加入演奏吉他。一个月后安德森的同学Tommy Rydberg(汤米雷德伯格)来打鼓了。这样,们准备开始他们的第一次演出。这是乐队的最初形态。Forest Of Shadows瑞典的一支以“忧郁情绪&优美旋律”为特色的厄运金属乐队。他们的作品不多,但是首首都很经典,催人泪下,Forest Of Shadows初次以98年demo"Under The Dying Sun"亮相于世 ,之后的作品中加入了长笛,使那种伤感的情绪越发明显。
"departure"是Forest Of Shadows 04年的新专辑,虽然专辑仅仅“Sleeping Death ”“November Dream ”“Bleak Dormition ”“Open Wound ”“Departure ”这五首曲目,但是每首歌曲都很长,专辑总长超过一小时,从专辑中可以明显感到一种强烈的忧郁沉闷气息。“Sleeping Death”给人一种无限的悲伤绝望感觉,脆弱的嗓音,朴素的吉他声,低沉的BASS让我们沉寂于短暂的缓和而令人感到不安的氛围之中,感觉似乎有中情绪即将被释放出来,随着一声尖喉,仿佛把我们带到了另一个世界,内心的不安与烦躁之情一泄而出,把歌曲推向了高潮。“November Dream ”优美的吉他点缀着质朴的声音,令人感到一丝美感,伴随着一声惊喉,沉重的鼓点,吉他,BASS也更加的有力,这才令人感受金属的力量,平静与暴躁,歌曲似乎不断的穿梭于两个极端之间,时而让人感到凄凉与美丽,时而又烦躁不安。"Bleak Dorminion"是专辑中最短的一首曲目,优美的钢琴声,BASS,吉他营造出一种忧郁,平静的情绪,引人进入无限的遐想之中。"Open Wound"是很一首很出色的作品,歌曲以一段优美,凄凉的旋律开篇,慢慢的把情绪步步往上推,然后又回到最初那种优美,凄凉的氛围之中,渐渐的消逝于黑暗之中。"Departure"也是整张专辑的最后一首作品,相对专辑中其他曲目来说,这首作品显得更加直接,开篇就令人感到金属的气息,悲哀的声音,粗糙的吉他,处处弥漫着厄运的气息,令人感到无限的伤感

under the dying sun
The Silent Cry
Forest of Shadows
Trapped inside walls of grief
忧伤是我的牢笼
My dismal excistance
无人知晓这灰暗的存在
I am longing for you, oh queen of my desire
可听清我心呼唤,向往的女王
Alone I cry so silent
为何留形影相吊,使悲泣无声
Can you hear me
可听清我心呼唤
Oh deliver me from my sorrow
请把我释放出痛苦的刑狱
I feel so cold as I am drowning
这里如此阴冷,而又让人窒息
In a sea of darkness am I fading away
夜色的海,随时会把我淹没其中
Under The Dying Sun
Forest of Shadows
In the fields of grey
在灰白的原野
Her silhouette towards the sky
侧影沉坠向苍穹
Under the dying sun
暮色里残阳欲灭
I see her die
竟以目光诀别
In the fields of grey
在灰白的原野
An arrow of death
死神竟射来箭矢
A dying beauty breathing
枯萎的容颜轻叹
Her last breath
那游丝的一息
In the fields of grey
在灰白的原野
Under the dying sun
暮色里残阳欲灭
I cry out
我失声哭泣
In grief for my beloved one
只为痛失所爱
A symbol of life and hope she was to me
我的希望啊,生命的印记
Now pain and suffering is all I can see
只留下伤痛折磨,日日夜夜
An act of vengeance for the deeds I've done
究竟是惩罚我的罪行
Why must she pay with a life now gone
怎叫飘逝芳年华偿还
I lay down beside her and gaze into the sky
仰躺在她身旁,我凝视天空
Eyes filled with tears why must she die
双眼盈泪,却怎唤她不回
In the fields of grey
在灰白的原野
Under the dying sun
暮色里残阳欲灭
I cry out
我失声哭泣
In grief for my beloved one
只为痛失所爱
Moments In Solitude
Forest of Shadows
Embraced by darkness my abandoned soul
暗夜包裹着我被遗弃的魂灵
Screams within my mind I see
我能听见它在内心尖叫的声音
But darkness drowning in my misery
只是漆黑淹没了我的伤痛
Take me away to lands beyond this bleeding earth
带我远离这片血色浸染的土地
Those moments in solitude where my mind flies away
在那些许独处的时光,我的思绪渐渐飞离
Into the realm among the clouds where I rule my own life
到达云霄之间的神域,在那里主导自己的生命
A kingdom for myself
一个完全自我的王国
A place without fear and with no need for your gods
全没有惊慌也不需神佑
Where I find eternal piece within my soul
为灵魂找到永久的安宁
The realm among the clouds
那云霄之间的神域啊
Where I wander in my moments of solitude
在我独处的时光里徜徉
But still I am falling through endless skies
但仍然要跌落那无尽的黑暗
Skies of darkness obscured by reality
现实遮蔽中黑暗的天渊
That shrouds my life with hatred and lies
我的世界从此覆盖怨恨与谎言
A November Dream
Forest of Shadows
Obscured by night
夜色笼罩中
A forest of Shadows
影影憧憧的森林
The silence of birds bringing peace
鸟雀噤声,寂静姗姗而来
The whispering night it calls my name
夜的呢喃,召唤着我的名字
And so I follow the path of unknown
我起身沿着,不知名的小径
In solitude I wander about
只身四处闲逛
Flakes of snow falling from the sky
雪的精灵散落天幕
By the frozen lake she awaits my arrival
结冰湖畔,她在等我的到来
That weeping angel of endless sorrow
泣泪的天使,蕴着无尽的感伤
Under the starlit sky
天穹的星辉也对她眷恋
My eyes embraced by her beauty
我的视界装满那凄美容颜
Aware of my presence
仿佛感知我的存在
She arise from her slumber
惊吓到她的浅睡
I meet her crystal eyes
我沉迷那水晶般的眸子啊
A sad smile I behold
且带哀伤且带着笑颜
As she melts into the everlasting night
她竟融入永夜的缠绵
where dreams turn to dust
Eternal Autumn
Forest of Shadows
So sudden it seemed
恍然间似曾看到
This tragic vision painted before my eyes
悲剧的幻影浮现于眼前
Amidst withering leaves I had found my beloved
枯叶丛中是我所至爱
Bloodstained and pale,falling into the forever
血迹斑驳,容颜苍白,竟坠入那永恒
So silent...
世界沉入无声……
Aware of my presence she turned towards me
循着我的气息,她转过来脸庞
Her agonizing stare,one last breath and
痛苦的凝视,游丝的喘息,和那
She whispered: "everything dies"
末日的耳语:一切都已终结
Before my tearfilled eyes
划过我泪眼所及
Dead and silent,a golden leaf of autumn falling
僵冷无言,秋日黄叶的轨迹
Before my tearfilled eyes
凝固在我泪眼里面
This withering beauty,This eternal autumn
枯竭的容颜,这永恒的秋天
So silent...
世界沉入无声……
So silent...
世界沉入无声……
Wish
Forest of Shadows
Awakened this dying season such a beauty to behold
被唤醒的沉睡季节,满目美好的景象
Oh autumn hath arrived a tragedy painted dead
噢!秋日降临,离别伤感渲染的剧目
Fallen am I without thee I am lost
坠落而下,没有你陪伴,我陷入迷失
In a region of doleful shades I am withering away
在寂寞的阴暗角落渐渐干枯
I dwell in the shadows of life
被囚禁在这生命的阴影当中
A dismal state of mind I'm in pain
忧郁的心绪来舔尝我的伤痛
Oh sun I hate thy beams
噢!太阳我厌倦了你的光芒
Leave me here to sleep and dream
且任随我昏昏睡去进入梦乡
In the midst of falling leaves
在这一层层堆叠的落叶中间
In a garden of endless grief
在这个充满无尽感伤的花园
I yearn for thee my precious one
但我仍想念你,最最珍贵的
Beneath a pale grey sky I dream of your embrace
灰暗的天空下,我梦想你的拥抱
How I wish I had you near in this oh so dolorous life
多希望这忧伤的命运有你相伴
Where dreams turn to dust I have lost all my hope
哪怕梦想成灰不再有光亮
Of lasting pain and unpresent bliss
哪怕伤痛绵长而赐福不予
This soul of mine I welcome thee
我挥臂拥抱你呵我的魂灵
Eternal sleep
恒久的长眠
Silent advent of white death
白色的精灵悄然降临
I feel so cold
感觉如此冰冷
Silent advent of white death
白色的精灵悄然降临
I feel so cold
感觉如此冰冷
Crystallized tears falling still
泪水静静流淌成晶状
Oh autumn hath died
噢!秋日已死
Enshrouded am I in thy mist of endless gloom
我被掩藏在你无尽的忧伤
Enthralled am I by thy beauty
我被迷惑在你无比的美艳
How I wish how I wish
我多希望,我多希望
In the midst of falling snow
在纷飞雪花的覆盖之下
In a garden of endless grief
在无尽感伤的花园之中
My forlorn soul of misery
我被遗弃的忧郁的魂灵
Where peace and rest can never dwell
宁静和休憩从不逗留
Hope never comes
希望也从不来光顾
I see no point in going on
遍地都是死寂的景象
Still I dream but now I know
我仍梦想但我也深知
I dream a lie so I close my eyes and I sigh
这梦想是个谎言,我于是瞑目叹息
A life of shattered dreams I can no longer bear
梦想破碎的命运使我出离
I enter thee eternal sleep
我便陶醉在你恒久的长眠
Of Sorrow Blue
Forest of Shadows
Of sorrow blue and clad in mist
带着哀伤之蓝,穿着薄雾霓裳
Dancing midst the meadows of my dreams
在我梦中的草地翩然起舞
My precious one my fallen beauty
我的珍宝,坠落的美人
Fallen beneath a dismal cloud
坠落那片阴沉的云彩
I recall that dreary morning
回想起那阴郁的早晨
I ran to the shores of her eyes
我奔往那两抹秋水沿岸
I was there watching the seas
凝神默对那海般深邃
And it was all silent upon the sea
海面上也充满静寂
A candle caravan
烛光的队列
The final stream of angel gleam
由天使的辉光汇集
There was no farewell of solace
究竟没有抚慰的道别
Before the caravan was gone
那烛光径自不见
Of sorrow blue and clad in tears
带着哀伤之蓝,泪水浸湿脸庞
Her cordial hands reach for me
颤抖的芊手将我挽住
My peaceful dream her soothing warmth
宁静的梦乡有她抚触的温暖
Fallen beneath a dismal cloud
坠落那片阴沉的云彩
I bow to her beautiful name
问候她妙美的芳名
The flowers need not to be watered
不必去浇灌那些花丛
These tears wont let the soil dry
别去让这片土壤干枯
Where her name is carved in stone
只因她的名字已刻入磐石
You were my core you were my soul
你是我的魂灵,我的主宰
Lips of roses mane of gold
玫瑰的芳唇,金色的鬓丝
Intoxicated we lay entwined
醉意里我俩相拥缠绵
I wore the carnal crown of sorrow
哀伤时我加冕欲望的王冠
Blue and clad in soil
忧郁且土壤已将我掩埋
My mind still echoes from her songs
我的灵魂仍旧萦绕她的歌谣
Earth and time are calling my name
现实的时空竟唤醒我过来
Let me fall beneath this dismal cloud
让我坠落这片阴沉的云彩
