Forsaken would like to welcome North Carolina's DECEPTION OF A GHOST to their roster. If you aren't familiar with the band, please visit http://www.myspace.com/deceptionofaghost to check them out.

The band is gearing up for their debut "Self Titled" release which will hit all digital retailers in October 2008 with physical plans to hit retail stores in January 2009 via Forsaken/Koch. The album was produced by Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me/The Human Abstract).

10/24: Cleveland, OH @ Peabody's Downunder w/ Forever In Terror

11/07: Charlotte, NC @ Tremont Music Hall w/ locals

Do you listen to the music you receive? Will you check my band out?

 Yes.

I thought Demon Hunter was on a big label?

Yes, they are signed to Solid State Records. Forsaken Recordings released the only version of their 2007 release "Storm The Gates Of Hell" on double 12" vinyl LP's. They are now apart of the Forsaken family, and will always be a part. We love the artist we work with.

What bands have been on Forsaken that have done well?

Farewell released their first EP on Forsaken. They are now on Epitaph Records and have since released their latest album "Isn't This Suppose To Be Fun?", which we think rules.

Sullivan released their very first 3 song EP on Forsaken back in 2003. They moved on with a newer line up to sign to Tooth & Nail Records. They released several albums and have broken up since. They will be missed.

The Necessary, who are now called House Of Fools (on Drive Thru Records) released their first full length on Forsaken. These guys are hardworking musicians. Check out House Of Fools sometime.

Who owns Forsaken?

That would be Joel Collins. He is the singer of Bloodjinn, as well as, Zero System.

Can I sign up for your street team?

Yes, please feel free. We are only looking for individuals with very effective work and resources.

I ordered from Forsaken's store, when can I expect my package?

We try to ship our packages as quickly as possible, but in a sense of delay it should be no more than 2-3 weeks.

I own a graphic design company, are you looking for any work?

Show us your portfolio. We have 2 well known graphic artists currently working at Forsaken but sometimes we are looking. It just varies from time to time.

Got questions? Send 'em.
