    The best metal band to never get the recognition they deserved. The guitarist Jeff Loomis is a God.
    RIP to the lead singer Warrel Dane.

    Thank You from Italy.

      Jesus fucking christ... I just learned this now. Man, this band, this singer, this song shaped my transition from highschool to adulthood. The spiritual struggle of the singer was incredibly important for me. So sad to hear Warrel Dane is dead. Damn.

      Yeah man, I know how you must feel. My guitarist woke me up that day with the news...it was like being awaked by a kick in the nuts.
      His personal struggle meant a lot to me, and helped me through.
      That's why I'll never be thakful enough to these guys, and especially him.

    Imo the most underrated metal band EVER. Nevermore was simply fantastic... too bad it got ruined by egos like most of the bands that get split out. This whole album is phenomenal, my personal top 10 metal albums of all time include this album.

    • @Eliath1984
      @Eliath1984 Před 6 lety +9

      really Nevermore and Iced Earth(When Matt Barlow was on vocals) are probably 2 of the most underrated bands in Metal... whether a metalhead likes their style or not no one can deny they are extremely good bands..

    • @FanaticDrummer
      @FanaticDrummer Před 6 lety +6

  • @tyler7162
    @tyler7162 Před 6 lety +60

    As far as Nevermore goes, I think you might prefer 'Sentient 6' (lyrically, maybe their most memorable track), 'Believe In Nothing' (a power ballad, probably their most accessible song, beautiful), 'Narcosynthesis' (just a well done catchy heavy/fast track), or 'Born' (heavy, straight-forward, with a beautiful, powerful chorus, and great lyrics). The vocalist, Warrel Dane (recently deceased), also had a solo track called 'Brother' which was a pretty well done power ballad (though not as good as Nevermore's best stuff, imo).
    I see people requesting Death (tremendously influential death metal band, arguably invented the genre and gave it its name, later pioneered progressive death metal), I'd recommend either 'Scavenger of Human Sorrow' (I think you'd be really impressed by the musicianship, especially the drumming, on that track, as well as by the composition) or 'Crystal Mountain' (maybe their most notable song).

    • @adamhenige9030
      @adamhenige9030 Před 6 lety +3

      Everything you just said, with the additions of Nevermore's "The River Dragon Has Come" and Death's "1,000 Eyes". The lyrics to 1,000 Eyes and Gene's drumming are both amazing.

    Jeff Loomis was the guitarist for Nevermore. He does a bunch of solo work and also colabs with Keith Merrow. He is hands down the best metal guitarist in my opinion. Highly suggest looking into him

    • @jongriesbach6806
      @jongriesbach6806 Před 6 lety +4

      Conquering Dystopia is tasty! I grew up with Jeff back in the day back in Wisconsin, My first show we opened up for his band System, then he got into Experiment Fear, which after he left for Seattle & I joined & recorded drums on the album Assuming The Godform. Jeff was on the first demo Choir Invisible. Look up System and Experiment Fear for some early youth Loomis here on YT, still a master indeed! Cant wait for his third solo with Century Media.

    • @Cabnnn

      I was sitting at Denny’s after the Milwaukee Metal Fest back in ‘94, and Chuck Schuldiner himself came walking in. He went to the phone booth and started crying insanely to his girlfriend in Florida about how much he missed her. It was the most non-metal moment of all time. Death is still awesome. And he took a picture with me after he cleaned up. Haven’t thought about that in years. This comment just reminded me of it. Good dude. RIP, Chuck.

    Rest in peace Warrel Dane! One of the best writers in Metal, and definitely one of the most emotional voices.
    Not surprised you guys didn't enjoy the vocals, it's something you have to revisit a couple of times I think before you can connect with it. But it's definitely a great divider and probably the reason Nevermore didn't grow as big as they deserved to be.

    • @rbrtfsco

    • @ryanjs20
      @ryanjs20 Před 6 lety +2

      Hey I was one of the people that brought that band and song up, I think on the Black Sabbath Heaven and Hell video haha. Yeah Stargazer would be good but you know these guys cut and have to eliminate some of the music because of copyright so they'd exclude some of it and there's very little parts of that song that are not fantastic.

    • @EpicZadrani
      @EpicZadrani Před 6 lety +1

      I'm just hoping that they don't cut the parts where he sings where is/was your star, the part where he sings the high note going into the solo(including the solo) and last 3 minutes. Those are in my opinion the epitome of vocal power in metal, especially "was it far" part. But at the end of the day you are right, not a single second of that song is bad ;)

  • @ShadowsFrost
    @ShadowsFrost Před 6 lety +9

    It's not freestyling. They play in different time signatures (as many metal bands do) other that the standard 4/4 rock. You have 3/4, 5/4, 6/4, 12/8, 7/8 and not to forget polyrhythms which is the combination of 2 time signatures in one measure. Messhugah drummer is great for those things.

  • @peterworth9403

    Nevermore is the epitome of a progressive metal band. Way to think about it, Rush on steroids, that have been through some really dark times. Their lyrics are intense, the music is amazing, and the singer is awesome. I'd definitely look into some other songs. "Believe in Nothing" is hands down my favorite song by them.

    I really enjoyed watching your reaction to this absolute masterpiece of a song. So wholesome, I've been a fan of them for over a decade now. Defining their style isn't easy, they were kind of pioneers in what they did. They helped popularize extended range guitars (7- and 8-strings), they were proggy, they were heavy, they were technical, even the djent movement wouldn't be the same today without them. And then you just have that opera singer screaming about god the whole day (RIP Warrel), indeed a very unique band.

Even though I keep requesting Lack of Comprehension 😉,None the less which ever song they end up doing(that's if they ever do a Death song) it will be hard to deny the talent in which this band had and the impact that Death still has to this day in the metal scene.

      Though I agree with you to some extent, we have to remember that we also have to cater to these guys' tastes and NOT our own. If we want these guys to like our metal bands, we need to request songs that we know would appeal to them regardless of whether we think it is the band's best song according to our liking. For example, the last two Iron Maiden songs they reviewed, I KNEW wouldn't appeal to them (despite them being great songs. Far better songs for this free thinking endeavor would have been Run to the Hills, Aces High and Number of the Beast). People are making requests that are doomed to fail as far as an objective review in favor of them. We need to use discernment too.

    • @arthurcavalieribastos9991
      @arthurcavalieribastos9991 Před 6 lety +2

      Bliss Absolutely! I think Nevermore is a very different metal band because they can mix multiple genres of metal at the same time, in the same song, and, furthermore, because of the clean and clear vocals they use. The outcome, on the essence of their music, can be described by an angriness (brought by the heavy tune of riffs and instrumentals) guided by the “fairness” of vocals, that improve the sense of persuasion and imperativeness of the message of songs. Just fabulous!

    Great video! Nevermore is one of my personal favorite bands. If you ever come back to them, I'd recommend The River Dragon Has Come. Heavy, heavy riffs, one of the best guitar solos ever IMO, and I think Warrell Dane's (RIP) vocal performance on that song is a little more accessible on that one.
    Also, if you guys like the slow, heavy riffs, you'll have to check out some doom metal! The mandatory first song, since you guys have already done Black Sabbath, is Solitude by Candlemass. Incredible song, killer riffs, and very influential.

    • @ryanohlson4181
      @ryanohlson4181 Před 6 lety

      Candlemass? Some songs have some sections that pick up the pace a little, but doom metal, as a genre, is defined by primarily being slow. At least, slower than other metal subgenres. Candlemass and similarly more traditional doom bands have some more mid-paced songs, and will have a fast section on occasion, but once you get into the more extreme parts of the subgenre, that's less frequent, aside from some styles of death/doom.

    • @craven1927
      @craven1927 Před 6 lety

      I agree, The River Dragon Has Come would be a better choice for the more casual listener like these guys. Beyond Within is another good choice in my opinion. Godless Endeavor is more for the hardcore fan.

  • @artgeier832
    @artgeier832 Před 6 lety

    You guys are great. And I can't believe you finally listened to this epic song. RIP Warrel Dane. What you just witnessed was the compilation of a little bit of every Sanctuary and Nevermore song wrapped into a swan song for Warrel. Each piece of this multifaceted production can be found in and of itself as a full song time and again on each album. Warrel's deep, distinctive and dramatic range put him at the forefront of Progressive Metal. So kudos to you both for showcasing this song. And when you are looking for a word to describe the freeform crazy in progressive rock/metal...it's called brilliant syncopation. Keep up the good work. You are a big reason I visit CZcams.

  • @rosco9048

    The thing that i like about watching you guys is, it's cool and interesting to see someone develop as a fan of a lot of the music that I love. Finding your own natural likes and dislikes about the songs that you listen to, like when George said that he liked the music, but wasn't really feeling the vocals. Your videos sometimes remind me of when I was young and learning about some of these bands for the first time. Those were good times and I appreciate y'all for bringing me back occasionally. Bobby T

  • @NukaColaCaps
    @NukaColaCaps Před 6 lety +14

    The vocals are one of the reasons why Nevermore stand out honestly. To your question, they are groove/progressive metal. They are particularly unique because the vocals are like clean power metal vocals with the riffing low like death metal. Omitting the harsh growls of death metal.
    I think it's time to enter Between the buried and me's Selkies or White Walls. A metalcore ish band who over the years, transformed into one of prog's most talented and diverse offerings.

      Right, sadly the vocalist died... However, Jeff Loomis (before joining Arch Enemy {maybe he likes the vocalist...}) recorded an impressive one-off album with Keith Merrow ("Conquering Dystopia"): brutal riffs + insane shredding + crazy drumming - it's all there. The funny (kind of) part is, from what I understand, they made the album without any big labels: kind of recording it at Keith's home (not 100% sure, but it looked like that) and it's still awesome.

    It took me a while to get into Warrel Dane's vocals, honestly, so I can't say I blame you. I got that album, and it took at least a year or two before I went back after my initial few listens and fell in love with it completely. Nevermore were generally thought of as a Progressive Metal band, though they had elements of power metal and thrash metal.
    Warrel Dane's is the only "celebrity" death I've ever mourned. "When I'm dead will you remember all the things I tried to say?" Even if it didn't connect with you enough to want to revisit it, you honor his memory. RIP Warrel Dane.

    For a solid 10 years Nevermore was one of the better proggy metal outfits out there. If you dig this you'll love Symphony X. Iconoclast is a Symphony X track in a similar vein. Factoid: Guitarist Jeff Loomis once auditioned to join Megadeth when he was 16. But he told everyone he was 22. Dave Mustaine and co. found out he was only 16 otherwise he might have gotten the job. Dave essentially told him you're gonna be better than me, go do your own thing.
