Foretoken Foretoken CD

2020 release from melodic death metal duo Foretoken. The core band of Steve Redmond (guitars and orchestral compositions) and Dan Cooley (lyrics and vocals) enlisted Hannes Grossmann (Triptykon, ex-Hate Eternal, ex-Obscura, Necrophagist) on drum duties for the extraordinary album. Combining symphonic elements with genres such as folk metal, melodic death, tech deaths, and black metal, have allowed Foretoken to create something familiar yet distinct. By merging various forms of extreme metal, Foretoken creates captivating sonic landscapes for their mythology-inspired stories. Myths and legends have often been used as narrative devices used to tell cautionary tales of pain, rage, and lament. Foretoken's cinematic approach to songwriting transports the listener into these stories from beginning to often tragic end.
