The Forsaken Traces Of The Past U.S. Release Date Set

Mark your calendars, America: On June 29, The Forsaken’s third full-length album, Traces Of The Past, is set to rip apart the Swedeath genre. Rising as a bold, earth-shaking contender in a field riddled with lighter opponents, the Swedish group has created a sinister album that traverses the musical spectrum, combining death metal with brutal melodies.

Drummer Nicke Grabowski sends this message to U.S. fans:

"Hails U.S. Metalheads,

We’re proud to announce that Traces Of The Past finally has a confirmed US release date. For you guys who banged your heads to the first two albums in pure satisfaction, I can ensure that you won’t be disappointed by the third onslaught when it hits the masses June 29th. Six months after the European release date, we thought you guys wanted something more to fill your speakers with, and for this we have previously released and unreleased bonus tracks stuffed in: Metallica’s ‘Creeping Death,’ Slayer’s ‘Spirit In Black,’ Grave’s ‘You’ll Never See’ and our own ‘Project: The New Breed 666.’ Enjoy and we hope to see you all on tour!

Cheers!

Nicke & The Forsaken"
