Nevermore is another one of those bands I wish I could love. I don't know what it is. I like Dane's voice and I love Sanctuary's refuge denied album but fuck i have tried Dreaming Neon Black, Dead Heart and the newest one, the newest one comes closest to getting me off but still lacks. What is wrong with me? I think it just gets to disjointed at times for me. It for sure isn't Dane, I dig him.
That happened to me too. I just couldn't get into this band. In my case the reason was that I liked Sanctuary so much, especially Into The Mirror Black (I still do), and when they split up and Nevermore was formed I bought their s/t (an old tape back in the day, on which there was written: Nevermore is Sanctuary) expecting something in the vein of ITMB. I was so disapointed... Nevermore is completely different from Sanctuary, everything, from the style of riffing to the way Dane's using his voice. I was expeting something very melodic, speedy and flashy, like Sanctuary was, and Nevermore's music was far from that. The same happened with Politics of Extasy. I think only around Dreaming Neon Black I was finally able to accept that this is a different band with a different style and different approach to music, and I discovered how great it was. Been a fan ever since.
Probably because of this, I still don't like their first two albums as much as the ones that followed.
