Foretoken announce new album ‘Triumphs’
FORETOKEN have announced a new album!
Titled Triumphs, the upcoming album from the Virginia Beach, VA-based melodic death metal band is the follow-up to 2020’s Ruin, and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Prosthetic Records.
The upcoming album was penned throughout 2021 by both Steve Redmond (guitars/orchestration) and Dan Cooley (vocals), with the pair settling on eight original compositions and a cover of NAGLFAR’s I Am Vengeance. Grossmann then commenced drum tracking at his own studio, Mordor Sounds, with guitars recorded by Redmond himself and vocals captured at Trepan Studios by Tony Petrocelly, before mixing and mastering duties were placed in the accomplished hands of Jacob Hansen [ARCH ENEMY, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER etc] at Hansen Studios.
Speaking about the upcoming, vocalist Dan Cooley says, “we’re really excited to announce Triumphs! This has lived in our heads since we began writing the album in early 2021. We pushed ourselves to improve on everything from songwriting, to musicianship, and storytelling. It’s a juggernaut of an experience that we hope people enjoy listening to as much as we did writing it.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming album; Demon Queller. Speaking about the album, and the new song, guitarist Steve Redmond says, “we’re super stoked for everyone to hear the album. We had a blast making it and we hope everyone has just as much fun listening to it. While we want the listener to be immersed in the myths and legends referenced on this album, there is also a human element to these songs I think we can all relate to. For the first single we wanted an energetic track that represents a preview of the album as a whole and we think Demon Queller fills that role.”
