Our Story

Founded in the Cambridgeshire area by Bassist and frontman Dan Hunsdon, FOR THE FORSAKEN is a hard rock foursome with a relatable and emotional story to tell. Their sound is BIG, edgy and raw which is exactly what you would expect from influences such as Atreyu, Beartooth, Black Stone Cherry and Alter Bridge. The band is made up of Dan Hunsdon (bassist and frontman), Adam 'Chevy' Cheverton (drums), Stuart Isteed (lead guitar and backing vocals) and Dan’s son, Jack Hunsdon (Rhythm Guitar and backing vocals). The band is passionate about promoting recovery and mental health awareness. This is because frontman Dan Hunsdon spent the majority of his life in active addiction and has recently undergone a rehabilitation programme which has seen him successfully change his life and sponsor others in the same position. Their songs lyrics are heavily themed around Dan’s journey of recovery which gives listeners an insight into his life challenges.
