Appearing from out of Pensacola, FL, the band climbed into the 1997 global progressive metal scene with their debut album, "Prophet's Dream". They established t
GAVIN MEAGHER: vocals Creating vocal melodies since the age of seventeen, Gavin actually began experimenting with music at a younger age, by playing guitar. Then something magical happened. As he stared through the looking glass of such vocalists as Rob Halford, Layne Staley and Ian Gillan, he started setting his sights on rock stardom. Finding his way into the musical fold of Foreseen as current vocalist, Gavin is stretching out his broad range and expressing a diverse collection of emotional boundaries. Whether Gavin is using his voice soaring high or devastatingly low, he captures the meaning and intensity of every lyric to create memorable melodies. "I get off on the live feedback of every person we perform for and in return, that interaction between us makes for an electric performance." GARY HUMPHREY: Guitars Playing stringed instruments since the age of eight, music has always been present in Gary's life. Having a strong love for the live performance, he has been playing gigs since sixteen. Though Gary is able to break a song down to its subtle elements, his true nature in playing is all out, energy driven riffs. The tendency for most guitar players is to over play. Surround yourself with great players, and you can create something great with more understandable elements. To me its better to feed off the energy of the group around me. MICHAEL LUKERS: Drums Michael has performed many styles of music since he began this journey. Some of Lukers' inspirations come from influential artists such as Johan Langell, Snowy Shaw, Vik Foxx, Shannon Larkin and Mark Zonder (to name drop just a few). Michael has the ability to push Foreseen's intricately powerful music while also letting the "experience" breathe. "I love being one of the four driving and visual entities in our band. Playing my kit is a feeling that pumps through my blood every day. We try to entertain as one big machine. When that happens, this band can move the crowd with high energy. That's when it's a good show. JOE HAMMOND: Bass Guitar The slamming low-end frequencies found in Foreseen's music are produced by bassist extraordinaire Joe Hammond. Playing his instrument since the age of ten, Joe found his home as the monster bassist of Foreseen. Possessing an extreme talent for finding inside grooves, he also ventures into the spotlight without taking away from the overall song structure. Joe's interpretations of bass guitar come from studying such performers as Steve Harris, Geezer Butler and John Entwistle. Joe's experience on the instrument gives him a confident aura and wild inner strength. A man on a mission to entertain you on stage and in the studio...

Lyrics
Dumb, don't let them think for you Own, the freedom to believe again Look around, what do they tell you now Are things as vacant as they seem Streets of gold sold by our phones Is there way the only way to believe Adrenaline rushes you to bind your cage While they twist and flash there pretty things Peripheral sight kept from the masses Letting them tell you who to be Chorus I Now we'll see what you believe Living in this compulsive state Religion dictated from a T.V. screen Suck another life in this soulless age Numb, we shall not be Taken, and thrown away Pointillism has come to life The books have all become extinct The smell of life is so electric No encouragement for you to think Follow the dead in there simple rhymes They take and guide our hands today Swipe another credit card As the vein of our identity is drained away Chorus The endless struggle of what to believe Through the power of a greedy machine Turning all of us into the elite What has the grail turned out to be Turn this page of a fictional age And make it all real Don't just exist in the shadow of a lie Retain the right to feel Chorus
