"Forever" is not a exactly what we could call a first glimpse of the eagerly awaited second Lethe album. This astoundingly good song is just a little pleasure, generously offered by the magical duo formed by Anna Murphy (Eluveite) and Tor-Helge Skei (Manes, Manii). A short moment of pure genius containing all the precious elements which have forged this unique and exceptional self-identified style and very specific self-created approach, dedicated to anyone who enjoys fresh music and experimental artists.

Tor-Helge Skei explains: “While working on the new album, we made tons and tons of material, countless ideas and sketches and recordings, some of which didn't fit into the album concept… instead of throwing these away, we wanted to show you some different sides of Lethe… so, here's the first one… close your eyes, open your mind, and let the music take you on a musical journey through different moods and states. to places you might not even know existed."

The enigmatic "Forever" artwork was craftred by reknown Artist Costin Chioreanu (Arcturus, Mayhem, etc.).

Lethe is a metal/triphop/electronic/pop/experimental (?) project featuring Tor-Helge Skei and Anna Murphy, plus close collaborator Eivind Fjøseide, as well as a long list of external contributors. The band was started in the end of 2012, as a 'home' for Anna and Tor-Helge's musical and artistic experiments, and right from the beginning, the main rule has been that there are no rules, no expectations, no compromises.

The band has been categorized as a lot of things, genre-bending, style-bastardization, ecclectic, and even just weird, but even if experimentalism and fuck-all-rules is an important factor, the band is not afraid to incorporate melody and catchiness into the music.

Lethe is something unique, something personal and quite 'different'... Lyrically and conceptually, Lethe is like a journey through the 'back alleys of the human mind/psyche', through dreams and nightmares, paranoia, mental breakdown, inner darkness.. No religion, fantasy, or pretend play.. Real life, real experiences, real horror.
