During the creation of <em>Ruin<\/em>, the pair enlisted Hannes Grossmann (Triptykon, Hate Eternal, ex-Obscura, ex-Necrophagist) on drum duties. The first track from the album is titled &#8220;The Retribution,&#8221; which the band say explores &#8220;the dilemma of the Norse god Tyr and the sacrifice he needs to make for the Aesir to bind Fenrir.&#8221; The track is streaming everywhere now and can also be listened to via the lyric video above. <em>Ruin<\/em> is slated for release on September 4th; pre-orders are available now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Of their signing to Prosthetic, the band commented: &#8220;We&#8217;re beyond excited to sign with Prosthetic. They&#8217;ve had such a killer track record over the years and have released some incredibly influential albums. We&#8217;re honored to be part of the roster. We put a lot of effort into our debut album, Ruin, and we&#8217;re really happy with how it turned out. We can&#8217;t wait for everyone to hear it!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Prosthetic&#8217;s Steve Joh adds: &#8220;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!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Combining symphonic elements with genres such as folk metal, melodic death, tech deaths, and black metal, have allowed Foretoken (Steve Redmond &#8211; guitars and orchestral compositions and Dan Cooley &#8211; lyrics and vocals) 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&#8217;s cinematic approach to songwriting transports the listener into these stories from beginning to often tragic end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Aside from Hannes Grossmann on drums, the album features James Malone (Arsis) in a dueling guitar solo on the track &#8220;A Deathless Prison,&#8221; and was mixed by both Steve Redmond and Jacob Hansen; with mastering being done by Hansen at Hansen Studios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The album&#8217;s art is a piece by Tomas Honz entitled &#8216;Fallen Empires&#8217;. The art gives listeners a visual glimpse of the calamity at the end of the song &#8220;Hamartia.&#8221; From start to finish, Ruin is an engrossing listen which brings both melody and technicality to each of its narrative songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Ruin<\/em> track listing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">1.
