Removed from spotify, very upset about this. Love them and wish could keep getting royalties.

Love this ! I listen almost every day....hail forefather 🤘🤘🤘

5:17 I cannot describe how much I love this part

Fram ðǽm gréatan sǽ tó middangearde ic eom cumen. Hér ic wunie, and mín eaforan, oð worulde ende. These words were originally said by Elendil in quenya: Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinomë maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta. Which in english means: Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come. In this place will I abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.

Lyrics: Man your walls or flee, for this time we pay no fee Hear our last reply; may you answer with no retreat Bow your heads down low for the rule of the marshland king Stir the land awake for a tale the bards will sing See the storm rise across the sea Raven curse come to harry our shores They will not see the English flee Rally with your king from the isle of sanctuary Sons of Wessex fly! To secure our history Send the heralds forth for our loyalties to bind Righteous laws I vow for the sake of all our kind See the storm rise across the sea Raven curse come to harry our shoes They will not see the English flee Rise the great you are duty bound Grand defender, the bane of the Danes Turn the tidings at Ethandune Foolish is he who shuns understanding, Forsaking his task in this world Longing to reach the true honorable life, Leave my memory in noble works See the storm rise across the sea Raven curse come to harry our shoes They will not see the English flee Rise the great you are duty bound Grand defender, the bane of the Danes Spread the tidings of Ethandune

...Sublime.

Proud to be ENGLISH

This is fantastic! In 1997, I was not listening to a broad spectrum of Metal. I wish I would've found this back then.

These guys never play live?

Seriously good shit.

This song is filled with so many sick riffs, my favourite: 4:12

Ahh!, just from another world!, amazing.

these guys got some really cool groves,almost hymn-anthem type .What a great find !!! In all my 65 years of Metal,this is at the top of my list as far as the style I always wanted to find !!!

These young dudes are freakin' amazing !! I love the folk sound, these guys are super talented.I never get tired of playing this.

That riff is devastatingly beutifull The whole thing is =)

Amon amarth. Bathory. And forefather... Enslaved. Ensiferum

FOREFATHER ... ONE OF THE BEST ENGLISH BANDS EVER !!!

Some riffs strongly remind me Running Wild

This is so good, i'm glad i was introduced to this. For some reason it reminds me of Celtic Legacy, but not quite xD

1:02

1:03 that riff

You plastic fake bands that you call yourselves folk metal just pay attention here and you may learn something....it is more than the clothes you wear more than the angry faces and the toyswords you bear it is more than the paintings on your faces and your long hair....it is true straight from this band's heart.Listen to them cause they know better....FOREFATHER!

Give me Liverpool for my eyes and Forefather for my ears....

I can't get anuff of that riff

Wonderful sounds

Truly talented band

Masterpiece!

Thank you for this Masterpiece!!

The intro has been my waking alarm tone for years.

Amazing song!!

This song makes me feel like im sailing across the north sea braving the depths in a longboat during a storm

From English to English, you are an inspiration. Keep up the fight!

Forefather are an amazing band , love them to be better known , I'm also glad they don't destroy their songs with extreme vocals, although I do like that style at the same time ...

the riff that begins at 0:55

oetinger for president!

I love this kind of metal, epic and melodic at the same time.

Masterpiece! I love Forefather! the best English band of the world

reminds me of both candlemass and bathory!

Reminds me the epicness of Running Wild

This band caught me by surprise, nice

Ongietan sceal gléaw hæle hú gǽstlic bið þonne ealre þisse worulde wela wéste stondeð Wóriað þá wínsalo waldend liegað dréame bidrorene duguþ eal gecrong Eall is earfoðlic eorþan ríce, onwendeð wyrda gesceaft hér bið mon lǽne hér bið mǽg lǽne ídel weorþeð þis eorþ! Can't find a translation though :p Either they wrote this themselves, or it's from a less than easily found piece of text.

greetings from Viet Nam

What does it mean? Anyone have a translation? Love the entire album!

Very good!

I adore this album. Solid, solid, solid. Killer endtrack, love how it just...leaves fading. Always makes me thing of a burning horizon and ghost ships at sea as the souls of the damned sail again...

Why you got an EU flag then, Bro?

I just cant stop listening this song.. too awesome to handle

thanks for all the HD Forefather uploads, hail real metal now and forever, in the here and hereafter! \m/

If only the King of England could have heard this walking into a room back in the day...
