Guitarist Steve Smyth said, “Here is the opening song from our forthcoming album 'The Final Cull,' entitled 'Forewarning.' Heavy out the gate, with a bit of a story inside the lyrics as well, which relate to advance warning of subliminal programming and psychological warfare, and the struggle to defeat it. This one was a lot of fun to tear up in the studio! One of the fastest songs on the album (and there’s lots of these on the album), so press play, turn it up, and TRY not to bang your head. We dare you.”While online, make sure to check out part two of the three part “Making of 'The Final Cull'” crowdfunding video series.

Smyth said, “We already have a lot of great perks up now, from digital downloads of the album to signed CD digipaks and a vinyl release, but also music lessons from everyone in the band, as well as guitars. I’ve managed to have one of my Steve Smyth Signature 7 BC Rich guitars available as a perk, and Jamie Hunt also has an ESP Ltd. M17 7 string available as well, so head on over and buy today, before these are gone.”The Final Cull Track Listing:
