Rushing in on a scalding lead guitar riff, “_Forgive & Forget_” is a genre-defining, sonic stampede, upbeat and catchy, but bearing the band’s signature ambition and heaviness. “_It’s about letting go of old demons and not letting unwanted memories shape your future,” _explains lead guitarist and songwriter George Harris.

Cowboys and zombies definitely felt like something unique, and we found the perfect location to make it happen!”_ The Raven Age - Forgive & Forget (Official Video) [⌊The Raven Age - Forgive & Forget (Official Video)⌉⌊The Raven Age - Forgive& amp; Forget (Official Video)⌉ Watch this video on YouTube The band is pushing everything further than ever before.
