Sharing several members between the two bands, FORLESEN and LOTUS THIEF
cross paths in an EP that highlights their different approaches while
revealing new facets of each.
Begun during the global pandemic of 2020 and refined over the following
years, the two songs of this release evoke themes of the infernal and
divine as experienced in the transcendent daily occurrences of love and
death during a time of plague.
"In Perdition" shows LOTUS THIEF in unprecedentedly epic form, drawing its
source material from Giovanni Boccaccio's "The Decameron" (1353), in which
people sheltered in place during the Black Death, telling tales to pass the
time.
With "Black Is The Color", FORLESEN are at perhaps their most accessible,
putting their singular stamp on the old standard and transforming it into a
dirge both funereal and soaring.
