Forevermore
Forevermore is the eleventh studio album by Whitesnake, released on 9 March 2011. It follows Good to Be Bad from 2008, and it was the second and last studio record to feature guitarist Doug Aldrich, who had joined in 2003. David Coverdale first talked about making a more acoustic concept album, but the project gradually grew heavier as it took shape.
The finished record draws together hard rock, blues, soul and ballads, the mix that defined the band's line-up at the time. "Love Will Set You Free" was the lead single and reached number 26 on Billboard Heritage Rock, while "Steal Your Heart Away" and "One of These Days" followed as promos. It reached number 49 on the Billboard 200 in the United States but spent a single week at number 33 in the UK. Rhino Entertainment reissued it in 2025.
