bio : |
Nevermore was an American metal band from Seattle, Washington,
United States. 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 on guitar. Three years without
releases followed, and in 1999 the album Dreaming Neon Black
was released. Highly acclaimed, the album narrates the story
of a man's slow decline into madness, subsequent to the death
of the only woman he ever loved. The tracks of this albums are
varied in style, ranging from slow and melodic to aggressive
and progressive. Warrel Dane put much effort in interpretation,
emitting varied emotions from his vocals. The album's lyrics are
a partially true retelling of the events Dane underwent after the
vanishing of his long-time girlfriend. A long tour with several
concerts followed, and Nevermore played together with bands such
as Mercyful Fate, Arch Enemy, Iced Earth and Opeth. After the
end of the tour, in 2000, guitarist Tim Calvert announced his
departure from the band, subsequent to his marriage. Instead
of finding a replacement, the band decided to continue as a
quartet, only adding session guitarists for live appearances,
such as Curran Murphy (who went on to play in Annihilator) and
Jag Panzer's Chris Broderick. Nevermore proceeded to record Dead
Heart in a Dead World, which was followed by tours with several
bands, most notably with Savatage in 2001. Their fifth album,
Enemies of Reality, remained in production for over a year, and
was released in 2003. This album faced much criticism for its
production and was re-released in 2005, after being remixed by
Andy Sneap. On tour, the band was joined by second lead guitarist
Steve Smyth, formerly of Vicious Rumors and Testament; Smyth
was eventually added to the line-up on a permanent basis. A
sixth album, This Godless Endeavor, was released in July of
2005. Nevermore then toured on Dave Mustaine's Gigantour during
the summer of 2005. In 2006 they toured with Disturbed. They
are also playing in direct support to In Flames on the second
leg of their North American tour. 2006 held a bit of bad luck
for Nevermore, as bassist Jim Sheppard underwent a procedure for
Crohn's disease, which he has suffered from for over 15 years,
and guitarist Steve Smyth was diagnosed with chronic kidney
disease, he ultimately underwent a kidney transplant operation
(which was successful). Warrel Dane developed type 2 diabetes,
and the band was forced to cancel their show in Grand Rapids,
Michigan, on May 13, 2006, due to an unspecified illness
afflicting Dane. According to the Official Nevermore website,
www.nevermore.tv, their show on September, 12 2006 at the Zeche
club in Bochum, Germany was to be filmed for Nevermore's first
full length DVD. This event was captured by 7 cameras and the
live recording was produced by Andy Sneap. The double DVD set
includes a Nevermore documentary, all of the bands promo videos
and past recordings from their whole career to date. This DVD
was expected to be released in early 2007, but was pushed
back and eventually came out the following year (2008). In
August 2007, Steve Smyth stated that he will be parting ways
with Nevermore. He is currently promoting his solo album that
was recently released, The EssenEss Project. 2007 was a slow
year for Nevermore as Warrel Dane, Van Williams and Jeff Loomis
all worked on their own side projects for a good part of the
year, only taking time off to do various festivals and a small
tour. Nevermore released The Year of the Voyager in 2008. It
is a double DVD / CD of live material. In late 2009 Nevermore
entered the studio with Peter Wichers to record their seventh
album The Obsidian Conpiracy. It was released May 31st in Europe
and June 8th in America. They also completed their line-up
with the addition of Hungarian Guitarist Attila Vörös. The
Obsidian Conspiracy is also available in a limited edition box
with a bonus disc titled Shed Like Loomis (featuring sheet music
and guitar tabs and videos of Jeff Loomis playing guitar for
two of the new songs), postcards featuring artwork and lyrics,
and a digipak version of the album with two bonus cover tracks
(The Tea Party's Temptation, and The Doors' Crystal Ship). On
April 21 2011, long time and founding members Jeff Loomis and
Van Williams announced their departure from Nevermore citing
personal and musical differences. In addition, on May 3, 2011,
it was announced that Nevermore had cancelled their entire
Australian tour. Fans assumed the band had broken up until
July 2011, Warrel Dane announced that Nevermore is not dead,
and right now his main focus is on Sanctuary. Warrel Dane also
mentioned that it'll be hard to keep Nevermore legacy alive,
since Jeff Loomis will be tough to replace. Both Jeff Loomis
and Warrel Dane talked about the possibility of a reunion,
the latter citing that the band split amicably. Dane went on to
say in a later interview, that while he does want to do another
Nevermore record, he wouldn't do it without Jeff Loomis. Last

Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future"
obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML.
As a possible first in the scene (is it really?), we provide an nfo
that is designed to be both human and machine readable.
It is not so interesting for the average joe ripper listener but it
will be a useful tool for siteops, nukers, dupedb and archives
curators.
Why this?
Because we need a structure that can support metadata and UTF8.
As years pass, dirnames are getting stuffed with more and more
metadata. It is impossible to parse 100% reliably because dirnames
are just not designed to be storage for heterogenous metadata.
With id3v2, vorbis and .yml.nfo files, we can fix this problem,
we can have a more reliable dupechecking, automate common tasks,
filter and sort releases based on different metadata, such as
label and have more useful subgenres e.g. acid techno, deep house,
djent...
With .yml.nfo, you do not need read access to the media files and
id3 metadata, you can automate mandatory fields checks (eg. source
codec, purchase url)
nfo files supporting the yaml format should have the extension
.yml.nfo
e.g. 00-alice-bob-cd-2018.yml.nfo
The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay
compatible. The current schema will be published in the near
future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same
structure and set of keys.
schema_version: 0.0.5
