“Aporia”, and the subsequent self-titled second album both received much critical acclaim upon their releases in March 2006 and April 2009 respectively for its “song writing craft and sheer power (Both Kerrang! 4/5)”.
The band released their second self-titled album in 2009 on Siege of Amida records. Their second release showcased a more melodic sound than "Aporia". Like its predecessor, "Forever Never" gained a 4/5 review from Kerrang! magazine.
The band went on hiatus in 2012 . In 2015, they returned with a new sound and new singles "Never Giving Up", "One Life" (which got to #5 on the Kerrang! Rock Chart) and "Living A Lie". The band are due to release a brand new EP in 2016 which will be their first original release since 2009.
The band's current lineup consists of Renny Carroll (vocals), Mitch Witham (bass), George Lenox (guitar), Frank Ransom (guitar) and Sam Curtis (drums).

Never Enough
Forever Never Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I've taken the bait, I've given up everything, just to put a smile back on your face
Blinded from good reason
(Reason)
Just wish that I hadn't listened.
(Never Enough)
Is love, Is love enough for us?
Is love enough?
Is love ever enough for us?
It's never enough
Never enough
I've been told from the start don't let it get to your heart
Now I know how hard it can be to share
Blinded by these emotions inside
I neglected everybody in sight
Now I see that love is blind
(Blinded)
Now I've got to make things right
(Never Enough)
Is love, Is love enough for us?
Is love enough?
Is love ever enough for us?
It's never enough
(Ohh Woah Oh)
Never enough
(Ohh Woah Oh)
(Yeah)
Can't believe what you're doing to me
Love is ruining everything
'Cause this feeling is so unreal it's like a dream
But all dreams come to an end
(Is love) Is it enough for us?
(Is love) Full of broken promises?
(Is love enough) 'Cause doesn't equal happiness
(Is love) Is love (Is love) Is love (Ever enough) Baby Baby
(Is love) Is love (Is love) Is love ever enough
Enough (Is love) Never Enough (Is Love) Never Enough
(Ever Enough)
Never Enough
Ever Enough
In "Never Enough," Forever Never explores the idea of being blinded by love and going as far as sacrificing oneself for the sake of the relationship, all to realize that sometimes love is simply not enough. The opening lines of the song suggest that the other person has been manipulating and hurting the singer, leaving them vulnerable and at their mercy. The singer has given up everything and taken the bait just to see the other person smile. The second verse reveals that the singer has neglected other people around them because they were too consumed by their emotions for the other person. However, they come to the realization that love is blind, and they need to make things right. The chorus asks whether love is ever enough and suggests that it isn't, which is something the singer has come to terms with.
The lyrics of "Never Enough" reflect the band's signature approach to metalcore music, which frequently grapples with issues of loss, pain, and heartbreak. The song contrasts the hard-hitting guitar riffs and aggressive vocals with a melancholy chorus that creates a stark and meaningful contrast that's palpable in the listener's mind. In essence, Forever Never has crafted a perfect marriage of metal and heartfelt reflections on the tumultuous nature of love.
