Haunting, avant-garde act Forever Autumn is preparing to unleash a new EP, Crowned In Skulls, on 3 February 2023, featuring a guest appearance from Aaron Stainthorpe of the legendary My Dying Bride. Following the 2021 EP Hail The Forest Dark, which saw Aaron Stainthorpe contribute lyrics and vocals, Crowned In Skulls delves further into acoustic and pagan realms. There is a dark and unique talent to be found in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, Autumn Ni Dubhghaill.
Autumn Ni Dubhghaill comments: "Crowned In Skulls is a haunting return to the deep magicks of Forever Autumn. It is a ritual unto itself, yet piece to a greater whole. I am honour'd to share this werke and hope it reaches those that need its medicine".
Autumn Ni Dubhghaill, the founder and driving force behind Forever Autumn, began composing for the project in 2000, which led to the band's first self-titled demo in 2001, and several others followed during two decades, with the last released, EP Hail The Forest Dark, in 2021, as well as contributing to various compilation and tribute releases.
Since 2008, the band has comprised cellist Jon McGrath and Autumn Ni Dubhghaill, with Jon as the stalwart complement to Autumn's guitar, balalaika, bodhran, doom drum, rattle, cello, and wide breadth of vocal expression that ranges from melodic singing to screams, howls, and chants. Link
