From The Sunset, Forest And Grief's album "Empty Cold Forgotten" is a haunting and powerful exploration of grief and loss. The band's unique blend of atmospheric black metal and post-rock creates a dense sonic landscape that is both beautiful and devastating.

The album opens with "The Last Remembrance", a haunting instrumental that sets the tone for the rest of the record. The band's use of soaring guitars and atmospheric synths creates a sense of grandeur and melancholy that is carried throughout the album.

Tracks like "The Longest Night" and "A Dying Breath" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend heavy, distorted riffs with delicate melodies and intricate instrumentation. The vocals, which range from guttural screams to mournful cleans, add an extra layer of emotion to the already powerful music.

The album's title track, "Empty Cold Forgotten", is a standout moment. Clocking in at over 13 minutes, the song takes the listener on a journey through grief and despair. The slow, mournful build of the first half of the song gives way to a crushing wall of sound in the latter half, creating a sense of catharsis that is both overwhelming and cathartic.
