Forefather is a pagan metal band from Surrey, England. There is debate on some sites as to which subgenre or subgenres of metal the band belongs while the band itself describes its music as "Anglo-Saxon Metal" due to its Anglo-Saxon themed lyrical content, and in likelihood as a more appropriate alternative for the "Viking Metal" term. Since their inception in 1997 the band has released six studio albums.
History
Forefather was formed in September 1997 by brothers Wulfstan and Athelstan. Two years later Forefather released its first album, Deep Into Time, on the band's own label, Angelisc Enterprises, on which two more albums would be released by the band, The Fighting Man and Engla Tocyme, in 2000 and 2002, respectively.Forefather's fourth album, Ours Is the Kingdom was released in 2004 by Karmageddon Media, on which the band's entire back catalogue of full-length albums was re-released as well - remastered and with added bonus tracks. In 2008, Forefather released its fifth full-length album, Steadfast, on the band's new own label, Seven Kingdoms, on which three years later the band's sixth album, Last of the Line, would also be released. In April 2015 the band released a new album, Curse of the Cwelled, on St George's Day, again on their own Seven Kingdoms label.
The album was produced from late 2011 to 2013. On 30 November 2011, Benga and Youngman performed at 1Xtra Live. They premiered "Running" live from Bristol. The first official single from the album was "I Will Never Change", released in March 2012. In June 2012, Benga and P Money performed a live version of "High Speed" on BBC Radio 1Xtra in Maida Vale Studios. Benga himself provided vocoded vocals. Several singles released throughout 2012 were omitted from the album: "Icon", "Pour Your Love", "We're Coming Out" and "Open Your Eyes". However, "Pour Your Love" (released on 24 August 2012) is the only song so far to chart in the United Kingdom, charting at number 189 in the UK Singles Chart.
A series of three heavier songs advertised as "club singles" were released throughout December 2012: "We're Coming Out", "Open Your Eyes" and "To Hell and Back". The latter is the only one to feature on the album. The album's initial release date was set to be 22 April 2013, but it was delayed by two weeks. Benga supported Example on his 2013 arena tour around the United Kingdom, with Youngman providing vocals for his "Benga Live" sets. Several songs from the album were performed on tour, including "Choose 1"; "Smile"; "Getting 42"; "To Hell and Back"; "I Will Never Change"; and "Forefather", which got its live debut at the Manchester Arena on March 1 with a live PA from Kano. "Smile" features uncredited vocals from Charli XCX.

[Music & Lyrics Wulfstan] Heroes now forgotten from a time long ago Shadowy figures of battles fought Those who slew with passion and vigour Warriors that trod our path to glory Under erratic skies and pounded by pouring rain Together they did stand, our land and our folk to preserve Battered by roaring winds and frozen by winter storms Together they did stand, our ways and our pride to retain Martyrs beyond recollection from the heart of the fray The ghostly cries of passionate strife Those who protected and killed for our cause
On account of their merits and the merit of their actions, we have the strength to stand against those who seek to harm us in our own day, and go on to fulfill our destiny despite the heavy price we are forced to pay ....
Next gen should carry forward concept of sustainability inherited from forefathers ...Sustainable development and sustainable living are not words borrowed from foreign countries but we inherited them from our forefathers.
Deep within the history of Colombia lies the fascinating civilization of the Muiscas. Flourishing long before the arrival of the Spanish conquistadors, the Muiscas left an indelible mark on the country’s cultural heritage ... .
