A few years ago I picked up the new retrospective LP for the old mid-90's hardcore band Autumn. The band seemed a bit obscure to me, so it was kind of surprising that someone took the time to put this record together and a press a few hundred copies to vinyl... but I love that someone felt that level of passion for the band, and wanted to get the Autumn name back out there 25+ years later. I admire that commitment because fuck yes, there are a number of lost 90's bands that I would love to see finally get a this kind of treatment. Anyway... as I was reading the notes on the insert covering the history of the band, I learned that before they changed their name to Autumn, they were previously called Forethought. I did a little digging and found that they had released a 7 inch under that name, and I knew that I needed to check it out.
Forethought recorded the Sands Of Salvation 7 inch in 1992, and this is quintessential early 90's hardcore... think bands like Framework, Encounter, Another Wall etc... and you know that I eat that shit up. With that in mind, it should surprise no one that when I first heard these songs, I immediately went on the hunt for this record.
The pink colored vinyl for this 7 inch doesn't show up too often on Discogs, so when I recently saw that there was one available, I jumped on it. No better feeling than discovering and falling in love with an obscure hardcore band from the 90's.

Good work, man. I have never heard of this band, although I do have two different Autumn 7"s in my collection. Gonna have to check this one out for sure.
