Tommy Jørgensen and Lars Magnus Jenssen were fed up with
their repetitive and psychologically eroding jobs. In -96,
wearing pale suits of drunkenness and enjoying severe
work-induced depressions they teamed up to lay the
foundation for a bandproject. They needed therapy, and an
outlet of aggression. To balance the two it quickly became
apparent that they needed a female vocalist.
With the foundation lain, the hunt for proper band-members
commenced. Jarle Hagen, with a recent history of musical
madness (Uncle Meat and Ant Man Bee) would probably not be
a natural choice under normal circumstances, but
nevertheless they gave him the spot as the 2.nd guitarist.
The three remaining pieces of the puzzle came into place in
the form of Mary Jane and future Sonic Debris More...
Review about Pale Forest World Class Metal Band--Kristin Fjellseth is a World Class Vocalist | Reviewer: Ron L. Schaff-Mabe
------ About artist/band Pale Forest
Pale Forest - " Exit Mould" is a " must have " CD. Kristin Fjellseth contributed the backing vocals on the 2 classic Crest of Darkness CD's " The Ogress " and "Project Regeneration". I listen to "The Ogress " everyday, and I have added "Exit Mould" to my daily playlist for a few years now. I love and worship Pale Forest's " Exit Mould " as much as Micheal Stearns " Planetary Unfolding " and The Gathering " Nighttime Birds". Pale Forest music takes me on a musical journey, that is mind-blowing and awe-inspired, thank you Pale Forest for the timeless music!
I consider The Gathering's " Nighttime Birds ", Angtoria " God Has A Plan for Us All" and Pale Forest " Exit Mould " as the Gothic Metal "holy trinity" of must have CD's.
Long Live Pale Forest !!
Long Live Kristin Fjellseth !!!!!
Pale Forest "Exit Mould" deserves to be canonized as a top 100 Gothic Metal album of all time."Exit Mould" is a Gothic Metal Masterpeice and Timeless Classic. | Reviewer: Ron L. Schaff Mabe, Jr.
------ About the album Exit Mould performed by Pale Forest
Pale Forest is a World Class Metal Band.
Kristin Fjellseth is a World Class Vocalist.
Pale Forest "Exit Mould" is a metal classic in the same breath as The 3rd and the Mortal "Tears Laid in Earth" (Voices of Wonder/ Norway), The Gathering "Mandylion" (Century Media), The 3rd and the Mortal "Painting on Glass" (Voices of Wonder/ Norway), The Gathering "Nighttime Birds" (Century Media, Atrox "Mesmerized" (Head Not Found/ Norway), Theatre of Tragedy "Aegis" (Massacre Records), Tristania "Beyond The Veil" (Napalm Records), Flowing Tears "Jade" (Century Media), Tactile Gemma "Tactile Gemma" (Season of Mist), Dismal Euphony "Python Zero" (Nuclear Blast), and Tristania " World of Glass" (Napalm Records".
The debut album from Pale Forest was titled "Transformation Hymns". This band with a more razor sharp focus on the bands vision, and with a bigger recording budget from Listenable Records; Pale Forest grows into a band, that is peerless with their own sound.
Think of "Exit Mould" as "Transcendence Hymns", over the bands worldwide competition. The sunshine that brought this band transformation on the debut now, gives this band transcendence.
Every song on "Exit Mould" is mindblowing and awe-inspired. This albums displays a impressive amount of growth, in comparison to the bands Voices of Wonder releases, "Transformation Hymns" and "Of Machines & Men"
The attention to detail concerning the songwritng nuances, and songwriting dynamics, is only half of the appeal of why this albums rules. Another important, aspect to this bands timeless appeal is the vocal lines are all perfect. And Kristin Fjellseth's, training and dedication to music really pays off in a big way, for her and Pale Forest on "Exit Mould".
"Exit Mould" is a album you can remember for days on end, you can recall this album from memory. Very few bands in the modern era can accomplish that, because no cares to write timeless music anymore, because most bands in the modern era are only interested in speed for the sake of speed, and heaviness for its own sake.
The band is highly original especially the timbre, and vocal talent of Kristin Fjellseth. No other band sounds like Pale Forest, on the planet. Pale Forest is peerless, unparalleled and this album will stand the test of time.
Choice cuts: Stigmata, Exit Mould, Spiral, Revelation, and Mr. Trenchcoat.
