Folk metal duo Forgotten Shrine has released a new single titled “The Parting Glass (Reforged)” featuring guest flutist Ember Belladonna. The track serves as the latest preview for the group’s upcoming full length album, Nox Aeterna, which is officially scheduled for an independent release later this autumn on November 6.

The new release serves as a reimagined take on the traditional Scottish song. Originally released by the band two years prior, this newly updated version introduces a fresh instrumental arrangement alongside additional vocal performances provided by Josh Alexander. The collaboration with Ember Belladonna adds dynamic musical depth, carefully balancing the emotional weight of the original composition with the darker atmospheric elements that define the sonic character of the upcoming album.

Vocalist Sofia Frasz explained that the timing of the release felt highly appropriate following the recent launch of the video game soundtrack Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Resynced earlier this August. Behind the scenes, the Nox Aeterna record was produced, mixed, and mastered by Joshua Dalviken. The cover art for the new single was created collaboratively by Josh Alexander and Tricia Alexander as the band continues to build momentum toward their November album launch.
