Nevermore Reissues Bonus Materials Detailed
Band Photo: Nevermore (?)
Seattle's NEVERMORE have opened their vault unveiling previously unreleased material to be included as bonus content for the September 5 th re-issues of their three early releases: Nevermore, In Memory, and The Politics Of Ecstasy . All three classics are presented with revamped artwork, as well as extended liner notes written by metal's premier journalist Martin Popoff with contributions from frontman Warrel Dane. All three releases and their bonus content have been remastered as well, intensifying the audio experience.
After the break-up of cult metal band Sanctuary, former members vocalist Warrel Dane, bassist Jim Sheppard, and guitarist Jeff Loomis formed the band NEVERMORE, signing with the then-young metal label Century Media and releasing their self-titled debut in 1995. Century Media is proud to present the original release expanded with five bonus tracks, as well the video for "What Tomorrow Knows".
The debut's follow-up was the darker, more melancholic In Memory EP which expanded the band's daringly intense, technically flawless style with an entirely new dimension that is still part of their unique sound. Now featuring exclusive demo recordings, today's version of the EP reaches album length and is an essential collector's item for long-term fans as well as a great starting point for new ones.
NEVERMORE's second full-length album, 1996's The Politics Of Ecstasy, was graced by a monstrous sound and featured songs that have remained fan favorites and in the band's live set. The band's classic cover of Judas Priest's "Love Bites" as well as the video for "Next In Line" expands this masterly work of lyrical cynicism, depressing moods and brilliant musicianship.

Now this is a good idea...a lot of people are probably interested in these albums since "This Godless Endeavor" dropped. Let me advise you as a reviewer and a Nevermore fan, though, the early stuff is hard to swallow unless you really dig the power metal genre--a little cheesy at times, especially on the album "In Memory."
