Forever More
Forever More is the eighth studio album by the hard rock band Tesla, released on 7 October 2008 on their own label, Tesla Electric Company Recordings. It followed Into the Now from 2004 and the two Real to Reel collections of 2007, and it came before Twisted Wires & The Acoustic Sessions in 2011.
Terry Thomas produced the record, with Michael Rosen engineering. The pair also recorded and mixed it together at J Street Recorders in Sacramento, California. The cover is an unusual choice: it shows the Lovers of Valdaro, the embracing skeletons archaeologists found outside Mantua, Italy, in 2007. For anyone following Tesla's later career, it is the album that sits between their mid-2000s return and their acoustic-leaning work of the early 2010s.
