Nevermore – “The Politics of Ecstacy”
This release is great. Great I tell ya! This is the stuff metal fans have been waiting for. Buy this now! Let me go to the music. I’m not going to go deep into the history of the band, except to say that NEVERMORE comes from the ashes of SANCTUARY and NEVERMORE carries on and expands the course of SANCTUARY, but are heavier and more musical than SANCTUARY. Warrell Dane is a real singer! Few people can actually sing, not just bark with aggression, but Warrell can. O.K., this is just the vocalist, so let me enlighten you on how you can play heavy and not just beat your guitar. The riffs are heavy, just as heavy as thrash, death, whatever, but the guitar work shows that this band can play. The guitar solos are really good as well. In addition, this is no 2 min. garbage noise, the songs are very complex. This is a serious metal band for serious metal fans. Fans of WATCHTOWER, ATHEIST, MEKONG DELTA, old FATES WARNING, and of course SANCTUARY, should enjoy this. Be warned: There is no way that one could understand this with just one listen. Buy it, unless you like “funny, experimental, grunge, or techno-rock” stuff.
