What artists say about working with Matt Hyde...

“We took a bit more time on the songwriting and we worked with a producer this time, which was new for us. He was a good dude, Matt Hyde; he made sure the wheels were in motion and cracking the whip, something was always happening and people were not slacking off or anything... I'm actually really proud of this one as it was pretty much recorded in three weeks and it's better-played than anything we have done before."

“Under the watchful eye of [Matt] Hyde, a Grammy winner who's also worked with Slayer, Hatebreed, No Doubt, Porno For Pyros, and Sum 41, among others, they've managed to regain their early atmospheric density, only on a larger, more stadium-ready scale. It's darker and heavier than the last three... Really, Forever is the rare example of a big-name producer actually helping a metal band progress.”

“We worked super-hard on this album, at least for me it was pretty much no sleep or rest for six weeks,” stated Laiho. “But we were determined to make the best COB album ever, so we were willing to do whatever it took. Of course, having our producer Matt Hyde kicking our asses 24/7 definitely made the results even better, so obviously we’re more than anxious to get this album out there."

“He’s cleaned the table and dusted the skeletons!” singer Jyrki 69 laughs. “It’s like when Rick Rubin helped The Cult discover them on ‘Electric’ - we made a similar spiritual journey with Matt... Matt Hyde’s ultra-tight production has brought the danger back to The 69 Eyes’ sound.”
