.. REVIEWS ON "RESTLESS IN THE TIDES":
"[T]he experimentation and craft harboured within the eight-minute title-track shows vision way beyond a band in their infancy."
-Kerrang (Magazine) (p.57)
"When their record label Metal Blade was founded 25 years ago, the members of Forever In Terror weren't even close to being born. The Ohio band's members are barely old enough to vote and until recently could only tour on weekends and in the summer because they had to go to high school. Their debut album is Restless In The Tides, which is alternately brutal and pretty. Forever In Terror's sound has a lot of metalcore elements, with big breakdowns and really powerful drumming. The songs are intricate and surprisingly well crafted and mature for a band so young. Aggressive and intense songs suddenly shift into mellow and melodic mode before cranking up again. It's an effective way to avoid monotony. The vocals are mainly aggressive yells and screams. You'll also hear melodic singing and even a guest appearance from Chimaira vocalist Mark Hunter. I like what I hear so far from Forever In Terror, and as they fully develop their own sound and style will be even better."

"What started out as a high school band has turned into a well-oiled heavy metal machine. This CD is proof that five young men from Ohio can enter the professional heavy metal market. Josh Owen, on bass, excels on this CD. The ten songs include Leviathan which is a crowd favorite when performed live. In this genre of music, it's nice to hear the melody. Can't wait to hear what's next for this fresh, young, group!"

"What? Only at the age of nineteen and already having signed a record deal with Metal Blade Records? And what to think of having played as opener for bands as Machine Head, Trivium, Unearth, God Forbid, All That Remains, Devildriver and Meshuggah? They must have a good headpiece and I am more than willing to have me surprised by the debut album 'Restless In The Tides' from the from Ohio hailing Forever In Terror. 'DESTROY!' yells vocalist,Chris Bianchi after which the band pounds away with a mixture of modern metal., melodic death, thrash and hardcore; metalcore indeed! The metalcore is being propped by fierce, fast, technical guitar solos. The band has written long songs as for less than four minutes one will not settle; a total length of 54 minutes divided over ten songs most likely tells it all. Writing long songs is not a problem for many bands, but writing long and interesting songs sure is. But Forever In Terror succeeded in that; by using enough variation and more tranquil parts ('Shameless Crucifixion', 'Restless In The Tides') they know to keep things interesting. Every once in a while one can hear a clean voice coming by ('The Chosen One', 'I'm Not Afraid Of Tomorrow'), but Bianchi mainly knows to create a chaotic impression with his squeaking which adds to the powerful impression of the songs. At moments the band reminds me of Still Remains, but as a more wrought up, monstrous and intense version of it. Although this debut album is not shocking, it sure shows what the youngsters of Forever In Terror have to offer. Considering the age of these guys they musically an only grow; we could than be hearing even more interesting things coming from this band."

"Restless in the Tides, Forever in Terror's debut, boasts the right combination of sounds and connections for it to become the next big thing in Cleveland metal. The disc is the band's first for the revered Metal Blade label; it features a vocal assist from Chimaira frontman Mark Hunter and artwork from Derek Hess, who has worked with In Flames and Pearl Jam. That's impressive for musicians who are barely old enough to purchase cigarettes. "The Streetsboro quintet, however, sounds more like a pack of thrash- and death-metal veterans. But unlike its competition, Forever in Terror doesn't back itself into a corner with perpetual brutality. Heavier than the lunch line at fat camp, the band also works melodic vocals and acoustic guitars into its mix. The band is already solid, but by the time its members are old enough to buy beer, it could be spectacular. "

" Listening to the debut album by Ohio's Forever in Terror, it is obvious that Metal Blade Records, which signed this young band, is undergoing a renaissance. While the latter is impressive for its utter sophistication and the diversity of its attack, the latter is a monster blend of powerful musical acumen with an insane amount of energy and tight, memorable tunes. This is quite a feat considering that the members of this quintet are all 19 years old and have been together under various names and configurations since they were 15. Wearing their New Wave of American Heavy Metalbadge clearly, they also meld elements of thrash, nu metal, and black metal in their sound. What is immediately distinguishable from Restless in the Tides is their manner of writing. Everything is on 11 all the time. There are few dynamic moments when lyricism and delicate melody get a place (though they do appear unexpectedly at times -- and the surprises when they do are a plus). It's all bone-crunching tempo from drummer and band founder Nick Borukhovsky, and with the production by Don Debiase, everything here is in your face. Louder than God, these ten songs go by in a furious blur, while displaying an intense sophistication and proficiency for stop-and-start-on-a-dime twists and turns that go beyond the usual ranting verse-chorus-verse. There are bridges and middle eights in these cuts; "In the Face of the Faceless" and the power metal attack of "Shameless Crucifixion"-- the set's longest track -- are great examples. It's obvious that, despite the powerful twin guitars, it's Borukhovsky's blastbeat triple-time drumming -- with explosive double bass drum salvos adorning nearly everything on the set -- that propels this band's attack. Check "I'm Not Afraid of Tomorrow," with guitars that are giant-size modern-day replicas of those that appear on classic Judas Priest material; it's those shattering drums that propel the rhythm guitars to act in concert and the bassline to pop in counterpoint. Restless in the Tides is a very impressive offering, one that will turn heads and, without doubt, gain the band a wider following among the punters.
