Folk Metal Duo FORGOTTEN SHRINE Unveil "The Parting Glass (Reforged)" Ahead Of New Album 'Nox Aeterna'
Landing ahead of the forthcoming full length Nox Aeterna, FORGOTTEN SHRINE revisit their folk metal take on the Scottish traditional song "The Parting Glass (Reforged)" featuring flutist EMBER BELLADONNA. This new version sees a new instrumental arrangement and additional vocal performance by Josh Alexander. Nox Aeterna is scheduled to release independently on November 6, 2026.
This enchanting interpretation from the folk metal duo balances the emotion and meaning of the original song, while also injecting shadowy elements and dynamic instrumental textures that are cohesive with the new album's sonic character. The collaboration with EMBER BELLADONNA introduces further musical depth.
Sofia Frasz comments on the new single release: "We decided to release the 'reforged' version of this song as a single about 2 years after we released the original single version, with a new instrumental and new vocal parts from Josh. With the release of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced on August 9, this felt like the perfect time to release a revamped version of our 'The Parting Glass' cover. I’ve had this version on repeat for a while; the instrumental part feels like it has more space to breathe than in the version we released 2 years ago, and Josh really shines as a vocalist here."
