“FORSAKEN” sits in the tension between holding on and letting go. It’s about loving something that’s slipping through your fingers knowing it might break you, but not ready to walk away. Dark, raw, and restless, “FORSAKEN” captures the weight of memory, the fear of change, and the fight to not lose yourself in the process.
The wait is over. Hard rock renegades
