Hardcore punk band FORE have released a flying-elbow-drop-inspired new single called “Nothing Means Nothing”.  The trio’s second single from their upcoming album, “Skin”, features an appreciation for the awe-inspiring “Macho Man” Randy Savage. While the accompanying video features vocalist/bassist Brian “The Canadian Glenn Hughes” Stephenson prepping for the ultimate showdown, the song’s lyrics are taken from Mr. Savage’s famous cocaine-fueled promo rants.

“Step into the ring with us in our new video for “Nothing Means Nothing”. Watch this deadly coin toss as Figure Fore Wrestling Champion Macho Man Randy Savage defends the World Heavyweight Fore-Skin championship belt against his greatest nemesis The Macho Madness Randy Savage in a wild game of heads and tails. Two sides of the same coin, only one will leave victorious. A toss-up of epic proportions. With dinner time looming closer as this epic battle rages on, who will be victorious before the table is set and Brian is called down to eat?? Stay tuned to find out!”

“Skin” is available for preorder digitally, on CD, cassette tape or special oven mit pack at forepunk.bandcamp.com

The artwork for the album was done by Abbie “Stabby” Rial (and yes, it absolutely may or may not be a spoof of a superb Swedish grind album…), who worked with the band on their debut album “Hombres”.

The group, which is now a power-trio, features Brian “The Canadian Glenn Hughes” Stephenson (Umbilicus) on vocals and now handling bass duties, Jeramie Kling (Inhuman Condition, Venom Inc) on drums, and Taylor Nordberg (Inhuman Condition, Deicide) on guitar.

“Skin” was recorded at Smoke & Mirrors Productions, where it was mixed and mastered by Jeramie Kling and Taylor Nordberg respectively. Video cut by Jeramie Kling.

FORE (feat. Inhuman Condition Members) have released a video for the first single ‘Wild Out’, taken from the band’s sophomore album “Skin”, available for preorder at forepunk.bandcamp.com.

The band says: “Though we’ve been active in the metal community most of our careers, we all have a love of punk rock, and this band has been such a fun outlet for that.  The first record “Hombres” combined our love of Bad Religion, the Offspring, Pennywise, and NOFX, with the aggression and intensity from years of playing metal. On “Skin”, we further honed in the sound, expanding our melodic catalogue, and incorporated more hooks. The whole record is a scorcher and we needed the right artwork for it. And we certainly got it. We are pleased to present to you, “Wild Out”, the first glimpse into FORE 2023 and beyond.”

“Skin” strikes its listener from first glance. Once your eyes set on the gorgeous artwork done by Abbie “Stabby” Rial (and yes, it absolutely may or may not be a spoof of a superb Swedish grind album…), you will be sucked into the tractor-beam of blazing guitars, acrobatic bass, stampeding drums, and the masterful blanket of harmonious vocal arrangements.  Clocking in at 29 minutes, “Skin” offers up a refreshing slab of melody-fueled hardcore punk.

The group, which is now a power-trio, features Brian “The Canadian Glenn Hughes” Stephenson (Umbilicus) on vocals and now handling bass duties, Jeramie Kling (Inhuman Condition, Venom Inc) on drums, and Taylor Nordberg (Inhuman Condition, Deicide) on guitar. 

“Skin” was recorded at Smoke & Mirrors Productions, where it was mixed by Jeramie Kling, and mastered by Taylor Nordberg. Video cut by Jeramie Kling. 

The video recently premiered via The Punk Site and the feature can be found here.

In the summer of 2020, the leaders of the world got together and decided that the only hope for humanity would be the formation of a new punk rock band…featuring extreme metal musicians! And thus, FORE was born. Their first album “Hombres” was released that August, with 2 singles released the following year (including a punk version of Alice In Chains’ “Man In The Box”). Today, the band announces its second album, simply titled: “Skin”.

The first single from the album, “Wild Out” will be out April 28th, along with the track-listing and pre-order information.  In the meantime, FORE’s debut album “Hombres” is available at forepunk.bandcamp.com

We live in a world filled with metal bands, so enter: FORE.  Formed last spring and featuring current and former members of KREATOR, VENOM INC, INHUMAN CONDITION, OLD JAMES, and THE ABSENCE, the quartet self-released their first album “Hombres” in August of 2020.  The band’s 12-song, 22-minute debut album brought back the sounds of 80s/early 90s hardcore, nodding to bands like Bad Religion, The Offspring, NOFX, and Pennywise in 12 songs, totalling 22 minutes.

Today, the band releases a brand new song called “Repeated Subtraction”, with an accompanying music video, which can be viewed below.  The video was filmed, directed and edited by Matthias Kollek at Vault Video, with additional footage filmed by Jeramie & Deidra Kling.

“We are so excited to begin the second chapter in FORE’s history!  This tune gets pretty vicious, but it has an insanely catchy, and soothing vocal done by the ever-talented Brian “The Canadian Glenn Hughes” Stephenson!  He wrote some killer/clever lyrics, which are super relevant to today’s bizarre world we live in, and Matthias killed it on the visual end of things!” guitarist Nordberg said.
