Artist History fornever was born in 1995 as the solo project of Joshua Heinrich. The next five years saw many demo cassettes, compilation appearances, and the release of four critically acclaimed studio albums to an ever-growing international fanbase. Always reinventing himself, Heinrich's songwriting has assimilated such styles as gothic rock, techno, industrial, synth pop, experimental electronic, new age, ethereal gothic, and trip hop and combined them with highly emotional and introspective lyrics filled with metaphor and imagery. The new millenium became witness to an even stronger and more diverse body of work, with fornever releasing 5 more studio albums, a handful of EPs, and two singles compilations at a dizzying pace and changing styles just as quickly. 2003 will see the release of fornever's much anticipated greatest hits album as well as a compilation of b-sides and rarities.
