Review Quotes
"A hi-def magic carpet ride through both familiar and alien realms… Simultaneously old school and strangely futuristic."
"Gösta Berlings Saga have achieved something genuinely singular and special here: a highly evolved instrumental rock record that exists outside of the genre's most familiar tropes."
- Dom Lawson, Blabbermouth
---
"A complex, shifting and ever-evolving instrumental odyssey" - Prog Magazine
---
"Haunting, almost nightmarish keyboard textures simmering underneath busy drum barrages and blistering, almost Robert Fripp-styled guitar shards flying in every direction." - Sea of Tranquility
---
"[Forever Now is] The most cohesive album Gösta Berlings Saga has released—and also the very best" - Tidens Larm
---
"So, are they a progressive, cyberpunk, noise rock, synthwave, metal, post rock or psych band? The answer is definitely Yes." - Nordic Music Review
---
"While many other supposedly progressive bands merely ape the styles and sounds of the early '70s, this band are hammering at the door of music's future." - Nordic Metal
