Since this song came out, I have ben listening to it nonstop. The heavy verse brings me back to the old school Alive or Just Breathing days of the band. It adds a nice touch of raw heaviness to the song. The melodic clean chorus contrasts it nicely, bringing that traditional unclean verse/clean chorus style metalcore song. Adam D. plays subltle harmonies throughout the song that add alot of flavor to this love song.
"'Forever Aligned' is one of those songs that is not just about us as humans, our love, and connection, but that connection to the unknown, the greater power, the universe, or God. It feels like a really good first song to release not just sonically, but lyrically, as it is all about connection. The device of world we live in could use a lot more connectivity." - Jesse Leach
Regarding the album, Leach continues, "This Consequence, to me, is the combination of everything the past five years has thrown at us as a band, as humans, and society as a whole. This album is just as much about everybody and their stories as it is for me about my journey personally. Sonically, I love the combination of everybody's ideas and contributions on this album. It feels more like a collaboration than the past few records have been. When all is said and done, I wouldn't change anything about this album."
He finishes, "I think it's the exact record we needed to make. I'm honored and proud of what we all were able to create and refine through this music and message."
