Foreseen - Both Sides Lose


1:10 mark.

Helsinki, Finland is not usually considered a hotbed of crossover thrash, but Foreseen are rearranging that landscape rapidly.

Coming from a record that sounds like it was literally assembled from broken Cause For Alarm and Life of Dreams LP's and held together by melted cassette copies of Bonded By Blood, Both Sides Lose is the musical equivalent of the last two soldiers on earth shooting each other simultaneously.

Sporting churning riffs that would incite a circle pit wide enough to change the earth's orbit and divebombs that crash to the ground at the speed of light, this song is a Simo Häyhä bullet right through your eye. 

This is the music that Jeff Hanneman's ghost would listen to while using a power sander to remove the tribal tattoos from Kerry King's head while he sleeps at night.
