Once Love Was Lost is the first full length studio album by Russian hardcore/metal band Vorvaň. The album was released on October 14, 2016 through German labels Wooaaargh and Darkened Days Records.[1]

Background

After the release of two EPs and a split Vorvaň started to work on the material for a full-length album. It took more than a year to finish recording, the band wanted to make “Once Love Was Lost” sound differently and stand up to the works of the bands that had influenced Vorvaň.[2]

Recording

The album was recorded at Pentagram House, studio run by the band members. Famous sound producer Kurt Ballou mixed the record at Godcity Studio, Brad Boatright mastered it. Double LP edition includes a bonus cover on the song Struck a Nerve originally performed by Machine Head and includes a 32-page booklet with illustrations and lyrics.[3]
