Nevermore, who now feature guitarist Jeff Loomis, drummer Van Williams, vocalist Berzan Önen, guitarist Jack Cattoi, and bassist Semir Özerkan, have signed a new deal with Reigning Phoenix Music. Their first reunion show will be held on April 1 at IF Performance Hall Beşiktaş in Istanbul, Turkey.
Loomis and Williams said the following:
“We are thrilled to announce that Nevermore has officially signed with Reigning Phoenix Music! It was obvious from the start that they were the perfect partner for the new era of Nevermore. Their passion for metal music combined with the extensive industry pedigree of their team made the choice easy. We can’t wait to get back on stage in front of our fans in Istanbul on April 1st, and we are just as excited to finish writing and putting together the new Nevermore album!”
Reigning Phoenix Music’s Gerado Martinez continued:
“There are no words to describe how proud and excited RPM is at the prospect of being part of Nevermore’s next chapter. Having been a fan since 1995 when I saw them on tour with Death, I’ve followed them on their entire musical journey and cannot wait for what is yet to come.”
Williams also further discussed resurrecting the band:
“It’s been brewing for quite a while and has just started to manifest itself into the now. So what better time is there to kick things off than now? If the new music had to be described by one word, that would have to be delicious. Because it’s so good it’s gonna leave you hungry for more.”
Loomis also talked about recruiting Önen:
“He really stood out strong in so many ways upon a first listen. I could really feel the emotion and passion when I heard him sing for the first time. He wasn’t just going through the motions. I could tell right away that he was a fan of Warrel’s singing just by the way he delivered and said certain words. I was really blown away at first watch.”
He added:
“Van and I are super passionate about the band. What we deliver and bring back to the audience is us wanting to hear those old tracks again just as much as the fans. We obviously want our old fans there every step of the way, but also look forward to meeting a new generation of fans as well.”
