Forever Autumn is the long running artistic vision of Autumn Ni
Dubhghaill, active for almost twenty five years and rooted in a deeply
personal form of dark folk. Based in the Berkshires of Massachusetts, she has
built a body of work that draws from pagan imagery, acoustic doom and shadowed
metal influences, while remaining centered on voice, atmosphere and
storytelling. Past collaborations included figures from the doom and extreme
metal underground, though her work has always remained distinctly individual.
“The
Lamentations” is a solitary creation, written, performed, recorded and produced
entirely by Autumn Ni Dubhghaill. The album
unfolds slowly and deliberately, guided by seasonal imagery, firelight, memory
and quiet reflection. Its world is shaped by natural cycles and old stories,
far removed from modern noise. The songs communicate through restraint and
patience, allowing space for words and melody to sink in without urgency.
The production
supports this approach with warmth and depth, shaped once again by Robby Baier and mastered by Jack
Control. The sound remains organic and textured, avoiding excess polish.
The artwork, painted by Autumn Ni Dubhghaill
herself, mirrors the album’s inward gaze and reinforces its personal nature.
“The Lamentations”
may ask patience from the listener, but it offers sincerity and focus in
return. It stands as a reflective chapter in the Forever
Autumn catalog, grounded in tradition and personal expression, and it
rewards careful listening through its honesty and restraint.
