Myths, legends, and folklore with their colorful imagery and imaginative narratives often served as not only entertainment but cautionary tales for their time. Foretoken borrows from this tradition by blending Symphonic elements and Extreme Metal to retell these stories of violence, tragedy, and sorrow, from around the world.
