The debut solo album by Andy Gillion (former lead guitarist/songwriter for Mors Principium Est).
Neverafter tells the story of a young girl, Aria, and her journey through a dreamworld as she searches for resolution after the tragic loss of her mother. A music box - all that is left of her mother's possessions - fails to sound ever since that fateful day. Its melody, all but forgotten, haunts Aria's dreams and into a deep sleep she enters, in search of that faithful sound, so that she may remember happiness once again - and once again be free.
All music composed and orchestrated by Andy Gillion
Co-produced, mixed and mastered by Thomas "Plec" Johansson at The Panic Room, Sweden.
Guest guitar solo on “Skyless” by Jeff Loomis
Guest guitar solo on "Hiraeth" by Paul Wardingham
Guest vocals on "Aria" by Christina Marie
Drums performed by 66Samus (Samus Paulicelli)
Artwork by Kim Aldau

I'm 48 years old and this takes me back to listing to Vinney Moores Minds Eye album for the very first time in 1986. Gives me goose bumps. Thanks!
Wow, Vinnie Moore is a huge inspiration to me dude, Mind's Eye and The Maze have had a big impact on my guitaring for sure!
@@andygillion You should cover "As Time Slips By" and beef it up a bit! Keep up the great work man, this album is an effin masterpiece.
Man I really fucked up. I was sleeping on this album for an entire year. Never again! NeverAfter is an immaculate piece of metal art.
48 year old guy here that’s played guitar for over 34 years and I’m still taken back at how I can still find these amazing gems of musicians after all these years. Not just finding technically efficient players but ones that can really move me musically with their emotion. Right now I’ve only listened up to Becoming The Dream and getting enormous Vinnie Moore influences here and absolutely love it. Vinnie is one of the Shrapnel studs I grew up idolizing and love that I’ve found someone that has some of that Vinnie flare with every bit, if not more, technical aptitude as he has dare I say. I knew of Andy for a little bit but never dived into his solo works shame on me. I loved the work he’s done with one of my other favorite guitarists and buddy Paul Wardingham. I can’t wait to explore Andy’s works to the fullest extent. If you’re reading this Andy I am now a full fledge fan and can’t wait to hear more from you brother. So far this album is a complete masterpiece.
Update….realizing song #9 HAS Paul playing on it 😂. Wow what a pleasant surprise I can’t wait to ask him about his collaborations with you! This album is an absolute crusher there’s not a dead spot on it Andy. One of my new favorites brother. I’m now subscribed 😊.
Update #2….annnnnd you have Jeff Loomis on this album too…another one of my current favorites…how did I miss so hugely on you for so long Andy? Lol wow my apologies my friend. I’ll be listening and watching from now on! Can’t get enough of this album. Gets me excited about music again. Thank you.
im almost a year late to this masterpiece, and i regret every second wasted not listening to it
parempi myöhään kuin ei milloinkaan
Ok... that's my 2nd comment here but I have no choice to write it down.
I'm 43 Years old and going soon on my 44th. I've been listening to metal music since I was 14 years old. Back in the 90's when I was in high school I was listening to Death, Cynic, Canibal Corpse, Hypocrisy, Cradle of FIlth, Amorphis and the list goes on. I was also in high school with Jean-François Dagenais from Kataklysm. He helped me recording a demo with my band at this time.
Well I do it rarely but I fell I have to mark this album as a Masterpiece. I've only heard a few albums that had such a place in my long list but this one even if it's mainly instrumental is (In my opinion) a true piece of art and it's also perfect in all points.
Andy, you are a genius. Thanks for this album !!!!
Cheers from Montréal, Canada.
Wow, thank you so much Patrick. It really means a lot to get comments like this. I know this album won't get the attention a lot of other big label releases get, but to hear that it's resonating so much with the people who do hear it means the world to me. Cheers.
The album is incredible. I can't wait until my physical copy comes in the mail. Best album of 2019 imo, full of black hole goodness.
you are awesome, master. Progressive symphonic metal with a epic story. the music reminds me to video game Final Fantasy
It took me almost a year to write a little about this masterpiece.
What joy to listen to this album, rich, captivating and still surprising after more than 1000 times.
I am happy to be old and to continue to stay that way for as long as possible to discover fundamental works and artists as incredible as Master Andy.
This album is insanely crazy.
You will be known for sure, this important !
Wow, thanks so much!
Andy Gillion = Under rated badass. Becoming the nightmare is dope as shit.
I found your album when it was released and been listening since, i actually did not like u splitting from mors principium but had u not never would i have had this album to enjoy, the entire album is the same theme yet so diverse and melodic while still going hard really man one of the best instrumental albums ever
Thanks so much!
Very well done, it should be recognized by wider circles.
It's amazing!!!! I'm from Russia. Andy, you are very talented musician and composer!!!!!
Thank you!
I got some major SikTh vibes in some parts of these songs. Awesome.
Cheers Keith!
ПРЕКРАСНАЯ МУЗЫКА!!! ЭНДИ, СПАСИБО!!! ВЫ ОЧЕНЬ ТАЛАНТЛИВЫ!!! УСПЕХОВ!!!
Amazing! With all these great riffs , i hope you didn't empty your riff-bank for future Mors principium est albums :D
There's still plenty in the bank!
@@andygillion This makes me happy!
He didnt, the new is fcking awesome!
@@Leetsch Yeah i noticed :D
@@andygillion this shit is earning interest!
And dat' Black Hole, is on point, Sir. ;)
the 2022 album ended and this came automaticly. very nice!
love it
that's a f'ing masterpiece man...
I remember buying 3 copies of this when it came out just so I could give 2 away to the only metal coworkers I had. They were both floored!
You're an absolute legend for doing that. Thanks for supporting the project! 🙌
@@andygillion Just want good music exposed in the US... Was able to hear one of them jamming to it on his way in to work a month or so back. They thought I was crazy for giving them signed albums! So thanks for that too!
I putted my headphones on, I seriously slept and went to another planet, freaking sick 🤘 you're such a talented awesome dude andy 🤘🤘
Cheers Fares, this makes me so happy to read!
This is absolutely incredible. Aria makes me wish more vocals were on the album, as the arrangements on most songs are still open enough for it I think. But even still, really stoked I stumbled upon this.
Thank you! I'm hard at work on a sequel to this album, so perhaps I'll make sure there's more vocals next time ;)
@@andygillion Great news! For me all's great with instrumental album. The magic of music is that the music can tell without single word... So another instrumental (or mostly instrumental) story from Aria/The Lost Melody universe - can't wait it!
Still love this. Exceptional work, Andy!
Thank you dude!
Andy is one of the best guitarists of modern age. one of the most underrated players I've ever seen. You're probably in my top 5 favourite guitarists of all time, along with Alexi Laiho, Miika Tenkula and Synyster Gates. I'm so glad I discovered Mors Principium Est when I was a kid, and I hope I'll get to see you back in Romania, as I didn't get to see Mors playing a few years back.
Thanks so much, I appreciate it and I hope I can return to Romanian someday to play!
Be'lakor brought me here and i'm glad they did
Cheers! They're top lads!
I need more.
Fantastic album, Andy!
This kicks all kinds of ass. Thank you! also a MPE fan too now because of this.
I begin my journey through your dream! I am excited! Its a blast ! Pay Attention for one of the best composers in the World!
I listen to this nearly every morning on my ride into work and I've been late by not being able to turn it off Mid-song. Worth it. ❤😂
Haha this made my day! Cheers :) I'll send your boss an apology letter
This album is enchanting, melodic, mesmerizing. Love the story of the Album. Not many artists create a story and world for their album. Just ordered the bundle just as I discovered this from 66Samus live stream today playing Skyless. The song got my attention since I love Symphonic metal. Instant Sub to your channel. ^.^ Awesome that you collab'd with Samus for full percussion on the whole album. Jaw dropped that Jeff Loomis featured on your album. Your channel needs more likes and subscribers. Going to mention you to peeps I know.
Wow thanks so much for your support! It means a lot. Also that Samus is still helping to spread the word. What a guy :)
Amazing result from hard years of graft/'werk'.. Total brilliance Andy.. CHEERS
HEY ANDY BRILLIANT JOB
'NEVERAFTER' BY ANDY GILLION
'ASCENSION' BY PALADIN
ARE MY FAVOURITE OF 2019
Love Paladin! Cheers dude!
This is magic! Its a journey. Thank you ❤️ You and Andy James are one of the best underrated guitar players that follow this rhythm of great melodic riffs as a canvas. ✌🏼❤️
Love Andy James! Thanks for listening!
The BEST Metal Album 2019!!! Two metalhead genius are together - Andy and 66Samus! Amazing work, great sound! \m/ \m/
Thank you Sergei!
@@andygillion Hey Andy, did Samus do the writing on the Drums or was that you too? That'd be even more impressive, frankly to an absurd point :D
@@KytexEdits I wrote the drums as MIDI first and sent them over to Samus as a guide. Although he stayed quite true to the original, I did give him the freedom to do what he wanted and you can really feel the difference, especially in all the little fills and inflections he puts in. I actually just shot a new "Inside the Project" video for a song from Neverafter (to be released soon) where I compare my demo drums to his final takes!
@@andygillion "Conquering Dystopia" used to be my favorite modern instrumental album until you dropped this bomb. Surely you remember the G3 lineups from the past? I was always excited to see the next lineup of legends, but it seems we're in a different era now. I would love nothing more than to see you, Samus, & Jeff Loomis working on an album.
The Lost Melody is so beautiful! ❤️ Wish it was a little longer though.
In all the whole album is very melodic 👌
It's criminal that you don't get more views :(
UNDERATED
Oh shit, pure hype.
Thanks so much
Samus on the drums,Jeff loomis solo...espectacular
Sunday mornings are new music mornings for me. Today? Bacon, eggs, hash browns, a glass of lemonade and Andy Gillion. Not sure how to pronounce that. Sorry Andy. Came by way of Garret Peters via Spectre Sound Studios(Fuck you Glenn). I love following a trail to interesting stuff. Today I am eating slowly and enjoying every tasty lick! Yum. Thanks Andy!
Mamaaaaa j'adore!!
Fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!
No Dislikes - relatable
Pure genius...Excellence doesn't need words, so just thank you for this amazing masterpiece!
Thanks so much for listening!
very awesome
Hiraeth - loved the track, and had a classmate of mine post the meaning of the word on her FB unrelated, just the other day. Didn't realize the word had meaning up until then, just dug the track! Whole album is very listenable, enjoyable, and I've got many full playthroughs under my belt. Cheers.
Thanks so much dude!
If Andy joins forces with Greg Burgess from Allegaeon I think we'd achieve peak metal. Awesome work man!
Lullaby became my lullaby
Best of the Best Metal 🎸🎸🎸
Added this to my coding playlists. how is this not more popular! just shared this with a few of my friends 🚀🌔
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated and happy coding !
I am addicted to this album, hope you can create more spine-tingling song !
Album of the year. Such an amazing sonic landscape. I love it!
"Black hole" giving me eargasm.....sounds so unreal...so addicted to this album....awesome....❤️❤️❤️😊👌🤘
Hey, man. This album is spectacular. Thank you for making it because you put together something really special. I can't actually like function anymore without having it on in the background of my life. Well done.
Thanks Joey, that means a lot man :)
It's true. This album defines an era. We all know how certain songs or melodies can take us back to a certain point in our life. There are dozens of examples from this album that instantly remind of a certain time...the definition of great music in my opinion. Memorable? Absofuckinglutely!
this is amazing i'm in love
It's awesome to know that people are still discovering it, thanks!
The more I listen to this the better it gets. Real good work and there is no mistaking you are the man for MPE.
Seriously though. This thing is really growing on me it is amazing from A to Z, mad props.
somewhere beyond dark tranquility and protest the hero ... very innovative still ..i like this album so much
Exquisite. Upliftng. Inspiring. This is a timeless masterpiece.
I heard this on a Spotify playlist and almost crashed!!!! It is so amazing! I am working on my first solo album and this is so inspiring! thanks Andy Gillion for the gift of your music! Instant fan! Regards from Panama.
This was an enjoyable comment to read. Thanks for your kind words and best of luck with your album! Drive safely :)
@@andygillion.... .... jajajja I will....more music please!!
Andy, I want to thank you for bringing your music to the masses. Phenomenal work. The Skyless track has inspired me to continue playing piano again, as well as guitar. Keep up the excellent work!
That's awesome dude. If I can be any inspiration that warms my heart
Riff machine
So glad i picked a physical copy of this along the shirt of the album. Thanks Andy for making incredible music. This is a great wait for the new M.P.E in the works. Keep up the amazing work my friend /,,/ /,,/
Have only listen once so far but this sounds like the album of the year, amazing songwriting and production. Feels so refreshing with a instrumental album. Received my cd+ the t-shirt 2 days before released! :D Very satisfied with the t-shirt, very cool design and quality!
Very crazy dude, amazing this album.
Thank you Marcus!
Amazing! My spotify full of your great sound, teruslah berkarya......!!!!
i grew up listening to Marty Friedman and Jason Becker albums, and this is right up there with them! amazing work!
Huge compliment right there, thank you Doyle!
That inhale at the end really brings me back to somewhere unreal, really good job Andy, Greets from China!
Thank you Hugo!
I heard the news about your eviction from Mors Principium Est... I hope you are getting better and better, getting out from all that stress and all. Deeply...
Your album is a true masterpiece of melodies. The use of keyboards is on point, I can already feel the story you're telling with your music.
The work on guitars is perfect, no bullshit solos or demonstration of useless technique. It's all about the music. The lead guitars are gorgeous. Some harmonies remind me that you are the soul of MPE. And this is why your album is telling us something, a story I want to live again, so I press "repeat" ^^
And the work of Samus on the drums is great, blasting a bit, "SEX !" (sorry...), delivering great fills and various patterns all along this journey. I hope you will be able to work together again.
I wish you the best for your next moves, I will look forward for your future works.
Best regards from France. I hope I'll see you someday on stage.
Happy to finally hear this as someone else said it made me want to pick up my guitar again. And more importantly it put the idea in my wife's head to get me a nicer Ibanez I can't say enough good things about all of the projects you've done. Cheers Mr. Gillion
Good job my friend. Plz keep going to touch our souls.
aynen
Andy please write another amazing concept album again for your second solo album really cool stuff! I hope your band Mors Principium Est makes another album too! Love the music as always!
Thanks Joshua, I've just finished writing all the music for the new Mors album, so that should be ready sometime later this year. And I'll certainly have more solo releasing coming too :)
That’s awesome! I’m looking forward to that! Hope to see more awesome videos of you being funny and goofy as always love watching those videos you have a cool personality!
Pure eargasm.Greetings from Sofia, Andy. Yesterday - 01 Oct was the International Music Day. What can be better than Andy as the background for the home office activities :)
Consider me a fan since today. o7
Cheers!
