What makes Forever by Code Orange notable?

'Forever' received widespread critical acclaim, debuting at number 1 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums chart and earning a Grammy nomination for Best Metal Performance for the track 'Forever'. Its innovative blend of genres not only influenced a new wave of heavy music but also helped elevate the perception of hardcore punk within mainstream circles.

This album marked their transition to a more experimental sound, showcasing their growth as artists and solidifying their position within the metalcore genre during a time of heightened interest in heavier music.
