Nevermore is the metal band out of the Northwest United States specializing in creatively combining the influence of thrash, power, groove, neo-classical, and progressive metal and even an acoustic guitar into their music. Nevermore tickets sell for this incredible show of the raw power of a driven guitar riffs and vocals ranging from deathcore growls to the operatic voice of glam rock.
The group formed in 1991 in Seattle in spite of the dominance of grunge at the time. They would hold out and are still selling concert tickets to national tours to this day, outlasting many of their grunge contemporaries. In fact, the band began as Warrel Dane and Jim Sheppard parted ways with the band Sanctuary wanted to alter their sound to emanate that grunge sound.
Nevermore is comprised of Warrel Dane as the lead singer and keyboardist, Jeff Loomis as the backup singer and lead guitarist, Jim Sheppard as the bass guitarist, and Van Williams as the drummer and percussionist. The only original member not still with the band is drummer Adam Gardner. Along the way three other musicians have been added to complete the metal orchestra, but they have not lasted. The band still employs a compliment of musicians to create that wall of sound while they tour.
