Returning a few years and a few tours after 2014's “Helsinki Savagery” debut set the world ablaze, Finland's FORESEEN are back with the savage, topically resonant crossover burst “Grave Danger”, set for European release on April 24th via Svart Records. 20 Buck Spin, who released FORESEEN’s “Helsinki Savagery”, will be handling the release of “Grave Danger” for North America.
Continuing the direction of its predecessor, “Grave Danger” delivers the punishingly relentless pace and aggression now firmly established by the iron hammer of FORESEEN. Here, find scraping, throat-ripping vocals over lacerating Thrash dominance and possessed hardcore breakdowns that twist seamlessly with an ever-increasing '80s Heavy Metal tenacity, exemplified on tracks like “Fearmonger”, “Bloodline” and “Chemical Heritage”. FORESEEN also embrace social commentary and critique throughout, as heard in the lyrics to “Government Cuts” and “Suicide Bomber” among others.
With new albums from several of the leading crossover bands of the current era releasing in early 2017, FORESEEN are set to carry the banner for the United Forces representing Finland and Europe in a genre particularly known and grown in the US. Perhaps a perfect moment in time to unleash the fury of politically-minded no-joke crossover once again, Svart presents this new European invasion during this shockingly dark hour.
“Grave Danger” will see LP, CD, and digital release on both sides of the Atlantic, courtesy of Svart and 20 Buck Spin. Watch for audio samples, pre-order info, and more to be issued in the days ahead.
With a prior US tour supporting Power Trip, which saw the bands invading ‘This Is Hardcore Fest’ and more, FORESEEN will make their stateside return in support of “Grave Danger”. The band has scheduled a US run of tour dates, primarily alongside RED DEATH, from April 21st through May 07th, the shows concentrated in the Eastern and Southern regions of the country.
