Nevermore straddles the line 'tween power metal, traditional heavy metallic element, and the present-day hard stone scene, eschewing the ridiculous theatrics of the "index scene" in favour of a darker step, while reaping the rewards of strain and the highflying vocal compass of singer Warrel Dane. The roots of the Seattle-based band canful be traced second to Sanctuary, with whom Nevermore's Dane and bassist Jim Sheppard recorded two albums. Sanctuary was one of a minuscule handful of late-'80s thrash metallic element bands to sign with a major label; they even enlisted Megadeth leader Dave Mustaine to grow their debut record album. Label-imposed limbo caused the band to grind to a stop, with one appendage besides exiting to act on more than "dirt"oriented music. Three members of the final batting order of Sanctuary reemerged as Nevermore, inking a world-wide deal with Century Media Records and cathartic a punishing eponymic debut album in 1995. The following year saw the banding issue a well-received EP, In Memory, that boasted breed tunes as intimately as Sanctuary material, which pleased many fans.


The Politics of Ecstasy, their second gear proper record album, was a dense, technical masterpiece that displayed the talents of guitarists Pat O'Brian and Jeff Loomis, and drummer Van Williams in especial. But it was with their future composition, the dark and conceptually determined Dreaming Neon Black, that Nevermore in truth caught the attending of cloggy music fans and earned the respect of the heavy metal weightlift. Voted Album of the Year by many publications, 1999's Dreaming Neon Black was a enlistment de force that highlighted Dane's soaring vocal range. It besides included fledgling (and onetime guitarist for Forbidden) Tim Calvert, world Health Organization replaced O'Brian when he split to conjoin Cannibal Corpse. After successful tours with Iced Earth and Mercyful Fate, the isthmus knew that they had a tough job ahead of them following up the well-received album. Now a four-piece subsequently the way out of Calvert, Nevermore entered a Texas studio with producer Andy Sneap and crafted a new record album that adeptly blended contemporaneous heavy sounds with traditional heavy metal. Dead Heart in a Dead World was released in 2000, and was supported on the route with a full U.S. enlistment with Swedish metallic element band In Flames and labelmates Shadows Fall.
