South Africa’s Forfeit Thee Untrue is a metalcore hybrid with clean & unclean vocals that have their own unique sound. I like many South African bands including The Awakening, Neshamah & Tree63, but FTU (as opposed to TFU-Training for Utopia-catch the reference?!) has quickly risen to my top 5 for that country. Originally started as a 2 piece, they have evolved into 3 as 4 others have come & gone. They are currently signed to Rottweiler Records & this review is in hopes that their new album will be released soon I was going to review the Pantera-esque Halo Crippled (released in October 2019), but looks like one was already done last year. Anyways, Cradles is a great song that plods along with metalcore riffage & a melodic chorus. Check out the lyrics video below.
