Born from the wreckage of a brutal crime, SÉANCE OF SORROW bridges the gap between the earthly and the ethereal.
While the band’s debut releases chronicled the downfall and death of Michael Morrison, their new chapter shifts from introduction to immersion. Through a series of "visions," Michael is forced to inhabit the memories of those linked to his demise. In this psychological chessboard, nothing is as it seems. Michael must relive pivotal traumas from both the perspective of the victim and the aggressor, experiencing the rage and irreversible consequences of each act to uncover the truth.
The new single, 'Forsaken,' serves as the first step into this haunting trek. A melodic, somber ballad, the track pairs a ghostly instrumental backdrop with raw, emotive vocals. It is the most unsettling entry in the saga to date, unflinchingly addressing the psychological fracture caused by sexual violence and trauma. Eschewing glorification, "Forsaken" presents these acts as devastating turning points—moments that shatter identity and set lives on a path of no return.
SÉANCE OF SORROW comments,“Forsaken is the first Vision. These aren’t dreams. These events actually happened. I’m not watching them — I’m inside them. I experience them from both perspectives. First person. Third person. Victim. Aggressor. In this chapter, I’m shown as the attacker — but that isn’t who I am. It’s how the Vision forces me to feel what truly took place. The violence isn’t spectacle. It’s evidence. Every Vision introduces someone connected to my death. Every one of them carries a moment that changed them forever. Forsaken is about trauma, about survival, and about how one irreversible act can send someone down a path they never come back from. The Visions aren’t random. They’re clues.”

Each song serves as a psychic vision for vocalist Michael Morrison, unearthing fragments of former lives, the shadows of grieving loved ones, and the echoes of tragic endings.
Condemned to ‘The Black’—a purgatory for forsaken souls with unfinished business—the band is driven by a singular purpose: to write the one song that will finally reveal the identity of their killer. Until that truth is found, SÉANCE OF SORROW broadcasts their cryptic hard rock from the depths of eternal darkness.
