The Forefather project was born in September 1997 in Surrey, England by founding members and brothers Athelstan and Wulfstan. The aim was to create powerful and epic Metal tributes to their Anglo-Saxon ancestors, straight from the heart and of the highest quality. Song-writing began immediately for what was to become their debut album “Deep Into Time” and in true underground fashion it was recorded in August 1998 at their home-studio “The Croft” and released in March 1999 by their own label Angelisc Enterprises. The album was well-received by the underground Metal press and by this time album number two was already beginning to take shape.

It wasn’t until a year later though that “The Fighting Man” was recorded, between the months of May and August in 2000. Thanks to an improvement of the equipment at “The Croft” the sound this time around was much improved and the already evident originality of the duo’s music was taken to new levels. The album was released in October 2000, again by Angelisc, and once more the reaction from magazines was very positive.

Also during 2000 a limited edition album “Legends Untold” was released by Germany's Millennium Metal Music label. It featured five demo recordings, including the never-before-heard “The Fyrdmen Cometh”, “The Paths of Yesterdays” and “These Lands”. The “Deep Into Time” recording of “These Lands” (left of the final master) and a synth rendition of Ancient Voice (from “Deep Into Time”) completed the tracklisting.

Athelstan and Wulfstan next entered the studio in September 2001 to record their third and latest album “Engla Tocyme” (The Coming of The English). Work was completed in November and after a small delay Angelisc released the album in March 2002 along with a re-issue of “Deep Into Time” featuring brand new artwork and bonus-track “These Lands”. “Engla Tocyme” sees Forefather's unique style brought ever more to the forefront with all the power and passion one has come to expect. Songs such as “Into The Forever” and “Fifeldor” have once again attracted Forefather the praise and acclaim they deserve.

As you read this the fourth album is in the works and promises to blow the socks off of anyone who doubts the power of Anglo-Saxon Metal!
