Has anyone here listened to the band Nevermore before?
I just recently got into them and they are quickly becoming a favorite. They take death metalish music but don't incorporate the vocals found in death metal. Think really really really heavy power metal. Their lead guitarist Jeff Loomis, is by far, one of the best in the business. I can't even imagine how he comes up with some of his riffs. I've seen a couple videos of them live and It's jaw dropping how he manages to play every single not perfectly. Loomis even tried out for Megadeth at the age of 16 and would have gotten the position if he wasn't so young. Their vocalist is somewhat hard to get used to as you wouldn't expect that kind of singing with that kind of music. However, once you listen to them for a bit it's hard to imagine them without his vocal stylings.

Their newest album "This Godless Endeavor" was just released this summer. It is a good place to start if you want to get into this band. I would recommend checking out the songs; The Riverdragon Has Come, Enemies of Reality, Born, and Sentient 6 to get a good idea of their sound.
