He says: "Forevermore is a track that showcases both the metal and the more bombastic AOR influences of Nightingale. It's a good summary of what to expect from the album � and then some. The lyrics tell the story of Jim Jones and The People's Temple seen from the perspective of a devoted follower of the cult.

"We started putting material together around 2008 but out of all those songs only two made it to the album. I felt that, unless it's the best possible Nightingale album where every song could replace any track from our previous albums, there was no point in making a new album.

He adds: "I'm confident Nightingale fans will love Retribution since I made sure I felt the same rush inside me when I listened to the tracks that I did upon listening to the finished version of our most famous tracks from the past."
