'''''Dead Forever...''''' is the debut album by Australian rock band Buffalo, recorded and originally released in 1972. <!-- Needs sources Considered by some to be the first Australian heavy metal album, ''Dead Forever...'' also strongly displayed the band's psychedelic influences. Significantly, it was the first release by a non-British and non-European artist on the legendary Vertigo label. --> The album was remastered and reissued in March 2006 by Australian record label Aztec Music on CD with additional tracks, including an A-side and B-side released by the pre-Buffalo outfit Head.
