Arya – For Ever Review


Arya – For Ever Review: An Experimental/Progressive Metal band hailing from Italy. October 20th, 2020, the band independently released their latest studio album For Ever. This includes eleven sad and sophisticated experimental songs that would gratify Swans fans.

Arya – For Ever Review opens and discusses the FIRST SIN: THE STRINGS/KEYS. Consists of double use of aggressive and complex guitar playing of mixing/switching from strong progressive, clean-sharp – droning riffing/multi (jammed packed of) chorded riffs and melodies, with additional ambient keys.

Let’s talk about the SECOND SIN: THE VOCALS, which involves pianissimo to fortissimo complex/technique of soft female singing & male harshly/hoarse shouting.

Moving on to the THIRD SIN: THE PERCUSSIONS, which delves into the vast world of multifaceted drum patterns and beats.

In our following discussion about the band’s musical work, we will focus on the FOURTH SIN, the overall DISCUSSION of the album. immediately before hitting the play button, ARYA is an intense, complex musical fruit of art. I do find that ARYA music is somewhat a full-on experimental fusion of sad and sophisticated music that opens to the title track, EASTER DAY 2018 jumps straight with a welcoming of aggressive/progressive riffs and shouting then breaks into this dark, mournful sorrowful soft-slow music and singing, the remaining of the song and the remaining tens song carry this pianissimo to fortissimo formula throughout the album.

ARYA has created something new, beautiful, and unique (but astonishing-outstanding) with this release while making music that is Sad and Sophisticated but genuinely complex and captivating (at the same time) of strong songwriting along with extraordinary devilmanship of just not blending progressive/experimental rock, but an experimenting fusion of adding multi-tempos/moods, metallic aggression heaviness, and clean passages/lines, multifaceted riffs/chords, avant-garde, dark atmosphere soft ambient moments, (I find with the music, as a tint of old-school ’80s Gothic dark and romantic vibe as well) many other various elements/influences.

The music direction is different; while the technical and atmospheric aspects used in the music truly capture something unique, the way the group uses the elements/influences at the right moment for each song is the same for the pianissimo to a fortissimo technique that is used at the right moment and depending on the needs of the individual song.

Altogether, the music is dark, breathtakingly beautiful, and intense from start to finish.

I wanted to share our thoughts and MEMORABILIA on the FIFTH SIN. The whole full-length, the arrangement of songs/how complex the music and songs are

Let’s discuss the ARTWORK of the SIXTH SIN. I’m not too sure.

Finally, closing the review with the last sin, the SEVENTH SIN, the DISRELISH. With one thing to disrelish, with the musical world of ARYA, it would have to be the artwork. This concludes the Arya – For Ever Review.
