Editorial Reviews
The band hails from Portugal (Lisboa) and their path can be divided in two distinct directions.
From the original quintet there's only two remaining members guitar player Ricardo Falcão and keyboard wizard Miguel Valadares. The musical chemistry between them sets the foundations of what Forgotten Suns is all about exquisite song writing level melted with the inner technical demands that progressive music is usually flavored.
The first half of their biography yielded two albums Fiction Edge(2000) and Snooze(2004) who were early sons born out of the band's musical growth in an adverse context. Even though yet with a blatantly lack of production, those albums were highly appreciated by the media and especially in the prog community by their strong melodic approach and song writing.
Those albums revealed the strong influence of their musical roots mostly based in symphonic rock groups like Pink Floyd, Marillion or Rush and were albums that were written without having a full time drummer in the same room, so the songs naturally became less complex and more light which were perfect for the singing of ex-singer Linx.
The first big breakthrough was the arrival of drummer J.C Samora in March 2003, who still participated in the final writings of 'Snooze' and also sometime ahead the joining of Nuno Correia on bass who brought more cohesion and sense of aesthetic to the band's already prolific state of play.
During this period the band shared the stage and did openings with Pain of Salvation, Flower Kings and Fish.
From that moment on the band's members decided to take Forgotten Suns into a never ending ascending spiral of success and make it all happen through a new musical universe, wider and more expanded, full of new concepts and without musical boundaries.
From that desire the making of a new album was scheduled and there were no easy ways to make it happen by itself alone. This new state of mind led to the split with the previous singer and there were no definitive options available until the band came to find the vibrant voice of actual lead singer Nio during the recordings of the new album Innergy.
