FORETOKEN have announced their debut album!

Titled Ruin, the upcoming album from the melodic death metal duo is their debut full-length effort and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via their new home at Prosthetic Records.

Speaking of their signing to Prosthetic, the band says, “we’re beyond excited to sign with Prosthetic. They’ve had such a killer track record over the years and have released some incredibly influential albums. We’re honored to be part of the roster. We put a lot of effort into our debut album, Ruin, and we’re really happy with how it turned out. We can’t wait for everyone to hear it!” Prosthetic‘s Steve Joh adds, “they reached out to us online and asked us to check out the album they had put up on Bandcamp, which I did and instantly I loved it. Killer symphonic and epic death metal!”

Aside from Hannes Grossmann [TRIPTYKON, HATE HETERNAL, ex-OBSCURA, ex-NECROPHAGIST] on drums, the album features James Malone [ARSIS] in a dueling guitar solo on the track A Deathless Prison, and was mixed by both Steve Redmond and Jacob Hansen; with mastering being done by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios. Jacob Hansen is a renowned producer/engineer who has worked on albums such as THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER’s Nightbringers and FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE’s Veleno. The album’s art is a piece by Tomas Honz entitled Fallen Empires.

Alongside the announcement of the debut album, the band have released the first song from the upcoming album; titled The Retribution. Of the new track, the band says it explores “the dilemma of the Norse god Tyr and the sacrifice he needs to make for the Aesir to bind Fenrir.”
