The Forlorn Path story begins in the fall of 2008 in an inconspicuous college house in New Brunswick, NJ. The original line-up (Yuriy Garnaev, Ray Dib, Alex Fiore, and Dave Imbriaco) culled a diverse blend of influences, including death metal, folk, jazz, noise, and black metal. What they did share was a desire to create music, and so they began collaborating and laying the groundwork for what would eventually become their first release as a band.
