“Forever” begins as a love letter to a significant other, centered on the search for a person who can function as home within a volatile environment. The composition unfolds chronologically: a solo cello introduction establishes intimacy and stability, while the entrance of distorted guitars marks the rupture: absence, distance, and emotional friction. Lyrically, the trajectory is singular at first, oriented toward return, but gradually widens. As the narrative develops, the focus moves from an individual to a collective, where the character locates grounding within a wider circle. What begins as longing for one person resolves into belonging within a community.

This cover art visually represents the two main driving forces of the song: the guitar and the cello. The guitar recreates the cello’s silhouette at the center, symbolizing the collaborative union between Igor and GNZ.
In creating this track, they shared one goal: to build a fully realized club metal song while limiting the digital elements strictly to drums and bass. They aimed to demonstrate that the instruments already in their hands could do far more than expected.
What began as a small challenge ultimately became a clear statement of how much can be achieved with minimal resources.
