Seattle, United States (1990 – present)
Nevermore is an American metal band from Seattle, Washington. Their precise musical style is debated by fans and critics alike. The band incorporates elements from styles such as Doom, Thrash, Power, and progressive metal into their songs, and also makes use of acoustic guitars and a wide range of vocal styles.
They started in the beginning of the 1990s, when the band Sanctuary was pressured by its recording label to change its musical style, switching from heavy metal to grunge, which was obtaining mainstream success at the time due to bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Two members of the band, vocalist Warrel Dane and bassist Jim Sheppard, didn’t agree with the change and thus proceeded to create a project of their own. Nevermore.
By the end of 1994, the band assumed a stable line-up, which saw the additions of drummer Van Williams and former Sanctuary touring guitarist Jeff Loomis . In 1995 Nevermore released its first, self-titled, album through Century Media Records. This album received much attention and specialized review, as its release was followed by an European tour with Blind Guardian and a North American tour with Death, both internationally-renowned bands.
Second guitarist Pat O’Brien joined the band prior to the release of the “In Memory” EP, and also took part in the recording of the subsequent album “The Politics Of Ecstasy”, both from 1996. O’Brien left Nevermore to play in Cannibal Corpse, and guitarist Tim Calvert, who had previously contributed to Nevermore through songwriting, replaced O’Brien as Nevermore’s guitarist.

Actually both Dead Heart and Goddless were dissapointing for me. If it wasn't for the sound of Enemies of Reality, that might have been one of my favourites.

Chuck originally wanted Warrel to sing for Control Denied, but due to scheduling it didn't happen. Worked out for the best I think. Control Denied is perfect as is, and I think it would have sounded too similar to Nevermore. Also, agree with Godless being their last great album. Prior to that, Politics was. EASILY.

v U serious? I think they sound very different. Control Denied has another sound, uses other guitar techniques, has far more changes of pace, is more bass-focussed and all. Only the vocal style is somehow similar.

Both albums are good, as quite honestly, is most of their Discography. even TOC deserves more credit than it gets.

''Dead Heart in a Dead World was their last masterpiece.'' No, dead heart fanboys just fuck off, This Godless Endeavor is far superior [2] Like both albums, but This Godless Endeavor is more "hard" to understand :). Is more adult album.
