13.04.09: Update Our brand new self titled album "FOREVER NEVER" hit's stores today! Let us know if you pick up a copy!
Originally formed in late 2004, Forever Never are a metal band from Essex, UK with something a little bit extra than your average metal band, drawing influences from a much wider scope than you might expect. Rhythmical, heavy and dripping with melodic twists and technical turns, FN take inspiration from Meshuggah, Michael Jackson and Machine Head in equal measures. As likely to hear a 3 part vocal harmony, as a crushing breakdown; Zero Magazine put it in their review of the debut album “Aporia”: “Great fat chunks of razor-sharp double-axe polyrhythmic riffage blasts through stadium-friendly uplifting melodies like a rottweiler savaging a swan 4/5”.
The debut album “Aporia”, received much critical acclaim upon its release in March ’06 for its “song writing craft and sheer power (Kerrang! 4/5)”, and it is upon these laurels that FN now build on working towards their sophomore release, which is penned for late 2008. A teaser of what to expect has been unleashed to the public in the form of a limited edition CD. “Empty Promises”, which also had an accompanying promo video and received extensive airplay on Kerrang TV, Radio 1, BBC Radio 6 (Bruce Dickinson Show) and local radio, is accompanied by an additional two tracks: “Break The Trend”, which featured on Metal Hammer Magazine’s Covermount CD for November 07, and “Thanks For Letting Me Know”, which featured on Rock Sound’s ‘One’s to Watch in 2008’ CD at the close of 2007. All three tracks, yet again highlight a band with intent and their own individual identity and are a natural progression from the already sterling examples offered on the debut album. The new material written for the second album carries on from where the first left off: melodic and undeniably heavy, but with a new honed sound, making them more accessible and more memorable than ever before.
"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
"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
“Sets out to reconcile beauty and brutality…And succeeds: Great fat chunks of razor-sharp double-axe polyrhythmic riffage blasts through stadium-friendly uplifting melodies like a rottweiler savaging a swan… You’ll be pissing blood in the morning!” 4/5 Zero Magazine
"If someone does not snap these guys up, there really is no justice. Crammed full of quality songwriting as is evident on such numbers as "Better The Epic" or the huge "As I Lie" and a superb delivery from singer Renny, it's truly criminal that such a decent UK prospect, will still only be seen next week at the Dog and Duck, and not Hammersmith Odeon” 5/5 Cop-Out Magazine
"The excitement roused in the lead-up to their slot is remarkable They open with the brusing Better the Epic, uptempo, brutal and gloriously melodic all at once. The crowdare transfixed throughout the set each time Renny Carroll opens his throat for a chorus, displaying his obvious vocal gift" Terrorizer Magazine Live Review
"As far as I can make out, that was in fact a demo. Its actually rather good! Theres bands out there with albums out that arent anywhere near as good as this. Impressive. Hope to hear more from them!" Bruce Dickinson Rock Show, BBC 6
"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
"In a world of copycat metalcore/hardcore bands‚ Forever Never are carving their own niche‚ raising their own grubby “metal horned” fists along the way." Onemetal.com Live Review, Breed 77 Tour @ Rock City
"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
"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
"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

No problem (: I saw you down swansea earlier this year with exit ten, amazing night tbh. You guys were great. I'll have to check that out (: thanks. How are you all? xxx
Described as: 'like Soulfly if Trent Reznor were part of the band,' their debut album "There's No Profit in Truth", album mixes the pent up frustration of acts such as Rage Against The Machine with the raging, highly charged riffs of classic Machine Head. Good, honest, politically aware and highly charged Metal at its best...
