What’s the meaning of life? Who the fuck cares! Why bother
trying to answer such question when you can just lean back on your couch
scratching your balls, have a few beers and listen to mind-blowing metal?!
Yeah, I know… that seems a little barbaric but for “primitive” music you need
primitive measures. Foreshadow…Here’s
a death/black/thrash metal band that fits perfectly that primal category.
Hailing from Tampa, Florida they present the old school and harcore style
proper from the United States scene but with a touch of their own musicality. With
a sound that both suits the “underground” listener and the “commercial”
listener the band performs with “life-giving”, provocative, intense, fresh yet
nostalgic extreme music.

| The Stranger End of Death |
I gotta say that i love this band. These guys made me get up
early this morning to write these same lines. This precise moment I’m hearing
their ‘The Stranger End of Death’ EP (released independently in 2012) while
headbanging, and let me say that it’s still 9 am on a Saturday without work and
studies. I’m a crazy? Well, maybe I am, maybe not! But the fact is that I’m
enjoying every single note of these 26:42 minutes of awesomeness. Imposing and
simple yet “earworm” riffs from the guitar man Aaron Robinson, a cool strong
and deep growling from the big frontman Daniel “Corkscrew” McConaghy, furious
and technical drumming from the impeccable Jon McDonald and an irreproachable
bass playing from Chris Billingsley; this is what you’ll get from Foreshadow. What I also enjoy about the
band is that you can actually “capture” the bass unlike many other bands.
The quartet uses their musical skills with a grand variation
of elements to comment upon the lies that enveloped as truth amongst humans.
With influences such as Slayer, Lamber of God, Nile, Pantera and others, the
band shows diversity, vision and creativity. Mainly, Foreshadow wants to
inform, motivate, and enlighten the mind set of their listeners.
I totally forgot to mention that this band exists
since 2008, the same year they released ‘Nations of Failure’ CD. This fact and
adding the positive criticism of the ‘The Stranger End of Death’ EP shows that
the members of the band work well together and they all have a natural ability
when it comes to metal construction. And did you know that Foreshadow was a winner of 2014 IMEA Awards Best Metal Group as
well as a Nominee for 2014 IMEA Award Best Metal Song? Crazy isn’t it? So why
don’t you check this band out already?
One melee with the words, ideas and its paradoxes... albuns that are news, the reviews at "HeavyHardMetalmania.net", always with its watermark, Pedro Ribeiro, with love for beer... sorry, music from an early age, he studied piano and singing from 7 to 14 years, then, devoted himself to the study of the guitar for 5 years. "The wisdom is found in the extremes, all extreme Metal here!"
