Some bands are not known for having a prolific output, so you may not have heard of Forevertree. They are from Ontario, Canada, and released ‘Turning’ (1998) and after a decade they finally completed ‘Alien’ (2009).
The current line-up is Dwayne Jackson (vocals), Geoff Breen (bass), Sean McGowan (guitar) and Ron Mellegers (drums).
Their style is grunge rock and they could be compared to Alice In Chains, Alter Bridge and Godsmack. It combines heavy, dirgelike riffing and the bleak strains of post-punk.
‘Alien’ has heavy riffing and alternating vocals in the chorus “Some look within, some seek without / Some pray in silence while others shout / The more we look the more we see / We will see God's face if we bend our knee” before pulling off an incredible guitar solo.
Most of the lyrics are centred on finding God in one way or another. In ’Higher’ they state “Get up, stand up the price has been paid / There is no other way / Jesus Christ he is the way / There’s only one thing left to say”. It is also notable for its more melodic hard rock sound.
Generally there are deep, dark, sludgy riffs and brooding bass throughout. But don’t just take my word for it, you can download it on a "whatever you can afford--whatever you desire to give basis”.
Here you can find the songs and you can read the lyrics.
