      Funnily, this is the song my channel (not this one) started off with and then we ended up doing a bunch of other Nevermore stuff and even got into Arch Enemy because Loomis is in there. But it's definitely not like their other songs for sure. It's probably great for people who aren't used to prog metal though.

    Your part about grunge is really interesting, as they are from Seattle and the core of the band was from a thrash band called Sanctuary (also really good, btw) that broke up just a year or so before. This song is one of many that uses some of those "Seattle sounds" like the layered hooks you mentioned, which is a classic Alice in Chains move.

    Ill never forget the first time i heard them. It was live at the Keyclub in Hollywood, 2001. I went there to see Opeth on their first US tour and they opened up for Nevermore. This was the album that they were touring for and it was such an amazing show. By the end of the show, the entire stage was filled with fans, dancing with Nevermore. I mean the entire stage. Awesome. Been a fan ever since and saw them a few times since then. RIP, Warrel Dane \m/

    • @mvunit3
      @mvunit3 Рік тому +1

      I was there as well! Went to see BOTH. Was into Nevermore since their debut and *Sanctuary.* Its funny isn't it about Mikael Akerfeldt, now practically a Stand-up comedian on stage, but then for the "Blackwater Park Tour", he was visibly amazed people were applauding and STUNNED that they could pull-off all they did live, and all he would say timidly; "Thank you, thank you very much" :).
      The 2nd Lead/Rhythm Guitarist that played with Loomis for Nevermore, was SUPER emotional, made intense faces and was really outstanding. I really dug his intensity, and always wanted to know if he was in another band. I would probably act the same way with that stage-presence if I were a guitarist in a band of that type of aggression and virtuosity.
      Wow . . . I remember that when all those people went up on stage! I especially remember a particular young brunette woman that was, well . . . If she was listening and singing along to a Nevermore song, I would have married her! :D She was a hottie! I think the track they sang was "The Heart Collector" if I'm not mistaken?

    *Very* nice catch with the Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds reference, as the singer of the band Warrel Dane had mentioned having influence from that song before. In an earlier song called This Sacrament, he even did a play on words with that title in the lyrics "Lucy in the sky, with diamond eyes/long since dark/I wear her disguise of light...". So that was a meaningful catch in this piece, so many years later for them!

    I’ve been a Metal fan for many moons. I’ve always enjoyed the power , lyrics and over all combinations that a band produces. I just don’t have the ear to really point out each individual instruments contribution to each song ( I just know it sounds good and I like it). But how you break down the instruments and what their sound brings to the song , really opens up a new way of listening to a song I already loved. It makes it that much more enjoyable seeing it through a different lens . It’s almost like hearing the song for the first time . Thank you. I will continue to follow!

    I'm a huge Nevermore fan. I only found them a year or two ago, being a big metal fan, and loving complex guitar parts, they just never came up in the conversation or the algorithm. Very underrated in the cultural/ metal zeitgeist. If you want to see the band's best work, you should check out the This Godless Endeavor album. Almost every song on it is great (all the ones written primarily by Jeff Loomis, the main guitar player). You can also check out Jeff's solo work, or his work with Keith Merrow Conquering Dystopia for excellent playing.
    To get the guitar sounds, you're right, Jeff Loomis plays all the parts about perfectly twice. There's a breakdown with him and a producer on UA-cam where they play the two DI tracks of a riff, and they're basically identical. From what I've read, most of the sounds from this album are a combination of Mesa Boogie and Diezel amps, with various levels of blending and micing techniques. Hard to copy exactly, but you can get close enough. Overall Jeff is a really tight, amazing player. They play 7 strings, with everything down a half step (EVH tuning, with a low A flat 7th string), except maybe 1 or 2 songs that are in drop C# on a 6 string. Oh and during this era, he put an extra thick bass string on in that 7th string position. He later went away from it, because nobody can really tell, but that's part of the mystery of the guitar sound.
    Musically, the highlights from the This Godless Endeavor album are The Psalm of Lydia, Born, My Acid Words, This Godless Endeavor. Lyrically, I would check out the songs Medicated Nation, Final Product, Sentient 6 and This Godless Endeavor. (Like I said, an amazing album, especially for coming out in 2005).
    On their other albums, a few highlights are The Obsidian Conspiracy, Without Morals, Termination Proclamation, I Voyager, Tomorrow Turned into Yesterday, Narcosynthesis, The River Dragon has Come, Inside Four Walls. Their earlier albums aren't as well composed in my opinion, but there are some gems in the Politics of Ecstasy and Dreaming Neon Black.

    Nevermore is one of my favorite bands and I can say I was lucky enough to see them live about half a dozen times back in the late 90ies to early 2000's and even met the band on a couple of occasions. Every album of theirs has a unique take on their style and is full of great tracks. Personally, I'm partial to their 1996 album "The Politics of Ecstasy." The last track off that album, "The Learning", is absolutely phenomenal and lyrically is a deep exploration of the concept of AI.
    Unfortunately, their vocalist passed away in 2017, so there is almost no chance of a reunion in the future. Their guitarist, Jeff Loomis, is astoundingly good and is currently in Arch Enemy, although most agree that he is brutally underutilized in that band. He also has some solo and collaborative instrumental releases he's done over the years, as well as a plethora of guest guitar work for tons of projects. I would say this song is great, but it really doesn't showcase Loomis's ability; the solo and rhythm riffs are very tame by his standards.

    Nevermore is so great, it’s hard to pick songs. This one isn’t entirely representative of their sound, but I do think it showcases their smart songwriting abilities. If you want their magnum opus (in my opinion), you have to check out This Godless Endeavor. It’s a 9 minute beast of a track that just flies by.
    Other quality songs: Narcosynthesis, Final Product, Born. It’s really hard to go wrong with any tracks from Dead Heart in a Dead World or This Godless Endeavor.

    R.I.P Warrel Dane, we lost a legend with his passing

    “Enemies of Reality” is where I would have started you

    You should react to the singer/guitarist, Warrel Dane's (RIP) solo album Praises To The War Machine. Nice blend of heavy (When We Pray) and mellow (Chosen Misery).

    Awesome! Nevermore is a truly unique band. If you take reccomendations, i would give you three songs that are amazing in my opinion and very different to each other: Dreaming Neon Black, Sentient 6 and, of course, The River Dragon Has Come

    What you said about the solo is perfect, especially because Jeff Loomis is one of the greatest shredders in history :)
    This song is a very radio-friendly one, they have many other interesting songs, a perfect band for one of your deep dives/slowburns

    You NEED to do the title track of this album. Dead Heart In A Dead World is a ridiculous track showcasing their varied sound.

  • @ProslepsisStuff
    @ProslepsisStuff Рік тому +1

    Since you reacted to Disturbed's interpretation of The Sound Of Silence, you should definitely check out Nevermore's rendition. Without spoiling it, it's a wildly different take on the song. And, it is far more representative of what Nevermore's overall sound is, much more so than Believe in Nothing (as great as it is).

    Nevermore is a fantastic band, one of the best Prog metal bands out there, sadly Warrel Dane (the vocalist) passed away a couple years back from a heart attack while on tour in South America. He really had one hell of an awesome voice. Jeff Loomis, the lead guitarist, is one of the best in the industry, he now plays lead guitar for Arch Enemy.
    As far as suggestions, literally any song from Dreaming Neon Black (this is a concept album about Warrel Dane's fiance that went missing and is presumed dead after she got involved in a cult) is fantastic, though personally i like "Decontruction" and "No More Will" (the guitar solo in this song is just fuckin amazing). "The River Dragon Has Come", "The Sound of Silence" (they do a very unique rendition of this song), and "Dead Heart, In A Dead World" all great songs from the album of the same name. other great songs "This Godless Endeavor", "The Politics of Ecstacy", and "I, Voyager"

    1991-1993 was the end of metal at the time, but also some of the best metal was released right at that time.

  • @aninfinitemindofmusicandreams

    This might be one of their more radio friendly and straightforward tracks but it's a song I love nonetheless. It makes me nostalgic for when I discovered it 13-14 years ago.
    With that being said, Nevermore have many great tracks you'll love Geebz. This is from one of their best albums. A few songs I can recommend from this album alone that I bet you'll enjoy - The Heart Collector, The River Dragon Has Come and Insignificant. Songs that send chills down my spine.

    Nevermore's This Godless Endeavor album is a top 10 metal album for me. Probably top 5 of the last 30 years.

    The guitarist from Forced Entry joined this band at some point. If you want to be blown away by by a a little known band, you should try "Bone Crackin' Fever" by Forced Entry.

    A sorely under reacted to band. So much talent in one band should have been illegal. Dreaming Neon Black is their best album and best song. Thank you for giving this band its due. RIP Warrel Dane.

    This is just giving you a _taste_ of this phenomenal band . . .
    Its still a HUGE tragedy that vocalist Warrel Dane is no longer with us. Van Williams, one of the most underrated drummers in Metal (he's a Machine!), Jim Shepard's awesome Bass playing and tone, and the one of a kind technical and melodic master of the guitar, Jeff Loomis (now with Arch Enemy, great gig, but the man needs his own band again).
    Everyone is digging up some choice tracks for you to listen to. Every album has OUTSTANDING songs, but my fave albums are; "Dreaming Neon Black" (with the late great guitarist Tim Calvert, formerly of the Bay Area Thrashers *Forbidden* where he trades-off guitar licks with Loomis), "Dead Heart in a Dead World" (both I've seen live), and "This Godless Endeavor" (but "Sea of Possibilities" and "C.B.F (Chrome Black Future)" from their debut, their Ep "In Memory" and "The Politics of Ecstasy" have special tracks within. They could be technical, melodic, moody, doomy, thrashy, dark, groovy, beautiful, aggressive and progressive, and many times all in one (song). Sometimes you could FEEL the emotive pain in what Warrel wrote. He drove the music, in-turn the music enhanced his emotions, that could change from sadness, dark, longing, to all out aggression and anger.
    You "got it" about how this very melodic/ballad-like track keeps itself from being too commercialized and over-produced, taking away the punch, because its still there but enhances the melodies with the heaviness and production that heightens it all.
    An all instrumental band you will LOVE Geebz, and I've been meaning to write to you about (you had a guitar piece you featured that reminded me of...); *Conquering Dystopia* featuring Jeff Loomis & Keith Merrow.
    - Yet another rabbit-hole Geebz \m/.
    Btw - on this album (where EVERY track is special); their version of "Sounds of Silence" BURIES Disturbed's over played/over analyzed version of Simon & Garfunkel, and I say this because Nevermore made it DARKER, and _reimagined_ to make it a track of their own. The "lyrics" become darker (imo), and I grew-up with that track when it debuted. BOTH are iconic in their own right. I always believed; if you are going to cover a famous song, make it different, if its mellow, make it HEAVIER or more interesting, and an "interpretation", not a exact cover or simply add overdrive . . . I might as well listen to the original.
    Another cover recommendation; Progressive Thrashers (1988) *Realm* - "Eleanor Rigby", probably my fave cover, but their original music was VERY unique in the Thrash world (only 2 albums).
    Rest in Peace Warrel \m/.

    I think The River Dragon has come should be next! Also an underrated song by them is The Seven Tongues of God. I think you would have quite a bit to say about both of these songs for sure.

    Ahh Nevermore, my absolute dearest band in metal. Started listening when I was 12, roughly, so have know them about 20 years at this point.
    I have a hard time suggesting songs of them though as they have so many colours:
    There's the trippy grittiness of the Politics of Ecstasy, the mournful madness of Dreaming Neon Black, tight metal anthems of Dead Heart in a Dead World, frantically groovy Enemies of Reality, the virtuosity of this Godless Endeavor, the overstrained The Obsidian Conspiracy...
    Through every phase they have an intellectual curiosity with themes of spirituality, politics & morality.
    Seminal songs for me would be The Seven Tongues of God, The Tiananmen Man, Beyond Within, Dreaming Neon Black, Narcosynthesis, The River Dragon Has Come, Enemies of Reality, I, Voyager, Born, This Godless Endeavor, The Termination Proclamation, And the Maiden Spoke... But they've mostly been more of an album experience for me
