Forever Never is a metal band with a difference from Essex, England. Originally formed from four defunct and highly established local metal acts Forever Never blends many different sounds in order to create a sound of their own. Most notable is their experimentation around time signatures and the use of polymetrics. Forever Never are able to write insanely heavy and complex music yet still maintain a very melodic edge. A sound that should bridge the gap between underground and mainstream scenes; a sound that is both beautiful, and brutal.
Now in 2006, Forever Never have unleashed a debut album to be proud of in Aporia. 12 tracks of beautifully crafted modern metal that will melt hearts yet simultaneously batter and bruise all who dare listen to it! Forever Never have created a fresh sound that breathes new life into the metal genre and 2006 will raise them to new platforms. Aporia was produced by the legendary Dave Chang (Stampin Ground, Earthtone9, Johnny Truant, and Vacant Stare) at Philia Studios in Henley on Thames, and is a sterling example of his ability.
Having toured with Stuck Mojo and Panic Cell in Oct 2005, Forever Never were asked to support Bleed the Sky (Nuclear Blast) on their only UK dates in December. Unfortunately the tour was cancelled, but 2006 started off on a great note with the confirmation of the Fozzy tour, and more high profile shows including a show in March with Caliban of Roadrunner Records. Following this Aporia was released on March 20th through Casket Music/Copro Records. The album was reviewed very well, and in June FN embarked on their first International tour, touring the Eastern Coast of USA, playing 26 shows in 30 days with Stuck Mojo. The tour was a great success, and upon their return to the UK, they embark on a full scale UK tour in support of the album. The future looks very promising indeed...
ALBUM REVIEWS"FN's songwriting...makes Aporia one of the best British debuts you're likely to hear this year... a song writing craft and a sheer power that would see them trawling the worlds stadia were there any justice on this paltry planet. Hear this now feel smug later! KKKK" - KERRANG! "Chest beating vocals abound in the vein of melodic hardcore [yet] unafraid of injecting hooks into their otherwise heaving, metal-encrusted songs... 7/10" - Rock Sound Magazine "Aporia" is another one modern metal masterpiece hitting on the scene... Twelve incredible tracks kept together by modern and traditional metal elements: technically professional, dark, melodic and so fuckin' heavy. Buy or Die! 10/10" - Firealive.it "FN...look set to challenge modern perceptions of metal and provide a spot-on definition of well written music...With a first release as startlingly good as this, Forever Never are sure to progress onto bigger and better things" - Ash, onelouderradio.co.uk "Aporia" will not only knock you down on the floor,it will also give you sweet dreams for many nights to come. 3.5/5" - Melodic.net "...songs have the attitude of Pantera and the drive of Machine Head but at no point draw direct comparisons. Theyve managed to come out of the door with a distinct Forever Never feel, and set the benchmark for many an aspiring British band" - Up-load.co.uk (Phil) "The album is basically twelve tracks of everything metal should have been,
one after the other...'Aporia' is a ten-ten album. The band are fantastic and set to destroy what you knew metal to be" - Up-load.co.uk (Trist) "[a] superb solid slab of rhythmic metal that would put many of the million selling American bands to shame...Biomechanical, Cathedral, Dragonforce, Interlock and Bullet for my Valentine are all flying the flag for British metal, and I think it's safe to add Forever Never to that list. 11/13" - RoomThirteen.Com "With a full dozen tracks for your ears to twitch to dont be surprised if you somehow put this album on 'repeat' and crank the volume up the second time round. In fact once you have read this, buy the album and play it loud from the onset. 4.5/5" - Rock3.co.uk "The music is technical and complex to a certain degree, achieved partly by the occasional use of polyrhythmics. This certainly increases the listening pleasure for the more seasoned music fans. Lesser experienced youth will certainly be caught up positively in the fact that they can bang their heads, move their feet. 94/100" - Concreteweb.be "Pushing things forward. That's what we need now more than ever as metalcore is clogging up the airwaves and our DJ's sets, so here we have a band that don't sound like all those bands, or even, like anyone else, while also being so accessible you have to bob your head" - http://www.dukester.uk2k.com OTHER REVIEWS"One of the most exciting new bands emerging from the UK Underground... Distinctive, clean but mean riffs and dynamic rhythms back some gruff-arsed growling and souring epic melodies. Stonking" - Metal Hammer"Metal with a capital 'm'... A highly original offering that is a credit to the British Unsigned Scene 8/10" - Powerplay Magazine"...Now singer Renny Carroll is roaming free onstage, stomping and grunting like a Maori tribesman over a brutal but melodic backdrop" Rock Sound Magazine"Forever Never...bludgeon us with down-tuned heavy crunching riffs...the band combine aggression with a keen sense of melody...Forever Never have a debut album coming out in March next year and on tonights evidence it should be one worth checking out" - Rockersdigest.com Currently making huge waves on the unsigned circuit and burning up the highways across Britain, Forever Never have honed their riffing, polyrhythms and their glorious melodies to near perfection since they first appeared on the very first edition of Fear Candy. Dont expect them to stay unsigned much longer Terrorizer Magazine Unsigned Covermount CD
