Listen to ‘Under Shadows of Annwn’ Here
Under Shadows of Annwn’ is a dreamy offering of calming melodies and sees soft vocals add a compelling mellow tone. This enchanting song is the second single taken from the upcoming EP Crowned in Skulls, and leaves a lasting impression.
Autumn Ni Dubhghaill comments:
“The title ‘Under Shadows of Annwn’ haes been with me for many years. Only now does it manifest and proclaim itself complete. This song provides closure to the ritual of Crowned in Skulls. May your dreams be not haunted.”

bout Forever Autumn:
Autumn Ni Dubhghaill, the founder and driving force behind Forever Autumn, began composing for the project in 2000 which led to the band’s first and self-titled demo in 2001, and several others followed during that decade. In the 2010s, Forever Autumn moved on with a series of wider album releases, beginning with 2014’s Patience of ðm Fire-Keeper, and followed that with a reborn version of their 2008 debut full-length under the title Waiting for Öktober MMXVI, then 2019’s new Howls in the Forest at Dusk and more recently a 2021 EP, Hail the Forest Dark as well as contributing to various compilation and tribute releases.
Since 2008, the band has comprised of cellist Jon McGrath and Autumn Ni Dubhghaill, with Jon as the stalwart complement to Autumn’s guitar, balalaika, bodhran, doom drum, rattle, cello, and wide breadth of vocal expression that ranges from melodic singing to screams, howls, and chants. Together, they create music that is, as long-standing website Doom-Metal.com put it, “elegant in its simplicity, fragile in its beauty”.
