There are flashes of promise from Arya's Oct. 2020 release. The production is generally spotless, the clean vocals are wide-ranging and mostly powerful, and the instrumentals, when firing on all cylinders, are complex and well-executed. Sadly, though, this record falls short of its grand ambitions. Long, uninteresting ambient sections serve as bridges between tracks that try earnestly to stand on their own as prog metal opuses - Arya look to achieve some sort of Ephel Duath-experimental brilliance, but their meandering compositions look disingenuously haphazard. The variation across tracks is calculated, yes, but not cohesive and not part of a broader story. Overall, For Ever shows a high degree of promise, but Arya could benefit from more time at the drawing board. Oh, and the male harshes suck.
