Sell My Heart for Stones 09. The Psalm of Lydia 10. A Future Uncertain 11. This Godless Endeavor. RATING: 9/10. "This Godless Endeavor" may just be the most complete and musically accomplished NEVERMORE album to date. Quite a pronouncement, I know, especially when considered in light of a classic like "Dead Heart in a Dead World" . However, as with any NEVERMORE album, repeat listens to the 57 minutes of "This Godless Endeavor" reveal layer after layer of metal majesty and beautiful song craft. Time will tell whether it will be considered the best of the bunch. It's a superior effort to "Enemies of Reality" , an album that got more negative criticism in some circles than it should have due to 's muddy production (the Sneap remix on the limited edition is far superior). Incidentally, to say that "Enemies of Reality" is somehow a sub-par metal album is laughable; it just happened to come after "Dead Heart in a Dead World" . Anyway, fans will be pleased to hear that Sneap is back in control on "This Godless Endeavor" . At almost an hour of music, "This Godless Endeavor" may be a filling meal, but it's also a satisfying one. A masterwork shouldn't be one that is completely understood after one listen anyway. My first reaction to the album was that it didn't boast immediately catchy songs like "Inside Four Walls" and "The Heart Collector" from "Dead Heart in a Dead World" or even the title track and "I, Voyager" from "Enemies of Reality" . Once again, one must be patient, as the classic NEVERMORE dark melodies are everywhere. "Final Product" , "Born (The Retribution of Spiritual Sickness)" , "Bittersweet Feast" , and "Medicated Nation" overflow with vintage NEVERMORE songwriting, all conveying that unexplainable feeling of sorrow, even despondency, characteristic of an album like "Dreaming Neon Black" . Spin this one a few times and you'll be hooked, no question about it. Letting up on the gas pedal at a few points along the way, some of the album's most stunning moments occur on the somber, ballad-esque diamonds "Sentient 6" and "Sell my Heart for Stones" . The piano and acoustic guitar on the former make the seven-minute track an especially moving experience. Few bands can so effortlessly pull off these kind of melancholic pieces without making it feel as though an intermission has been taken until the hyper-crush begins again. It's almost a waste of time to applaud the six-string wizardry of and new permanent member , as anyone that's heard the last few NEVERMORE albums knows that the riffing is monumental and the soloing will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. If it's shredding you seek, look no further than the monster soloing on "The Psalm of Lydia" ; the words "holy" and "shit" are sure to roll off your tongue. And yes, the rhythm section of drummer and bassist is both colorful and devastating. Getting back to the axe swinging, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that one (formerly of TESTAMENT and DEATH ) lays down a solo on the minute-and-a-half instrumental "The Holocaust of Thought" . Coming to the end of our journey, the album-closing title track is also its longest. At almost nine minutes of tension builds, speed bursts, and overwhelming intensity, to call it an epic would be a gross understatement. After traveling through 48 minutes of sheer NEVERMORE bliss, it's an extraordinary capstone to what will end up a serious contender for album of the year. This Godless Endeavor. Nevermore's sixth album arrives bearing few surprises -- which, for a band less accomplished or too comfortable in their niche, would generally be seen as a negative attribute. Not here, as Seattle's finest mid-'00s heavy metal outfit (sorry Queensrÿche!) continue to set the bar for purist-leaning metal-heads on this side of the pond. As always, and not to take anything away from their cohorts (particularly drummer extraordinaire Van Williams), the soaring vocals of Warrel Dane and lead guitar heroics of Jeff Loomis act as twin beacons shining out from the band's gloriously metallic bulk. Furthermore, it's arguable if Dane (now almost completely divorced from his once too strident upper registers) has ever sounded quite this aggressive on any of Nevermore's earlier albums (witness his coarse roars on opener "Born (The Retribution of Spiritual Sickness)"). Likewise subject to discussion is whether Loomis hasn't topped his not inconsiderable prior achievements with his ever tasteful and inventive solos, here augmented by ex-Dragon Lord guitarist Steve Smyth -- quite a talent in his own right. Suffice to say that Dane and Loomis lead their troops in reliably inspired style throughout terrific cuts like "Final Product," "The Psalm of Lydia," and "A Future Uncertain" -- all of them carefully constructed songs, laced with just the right dosage of showy acrobatics so as to keep listeners' jaws sagging. They also retain a rare combination of immediacy and complexity, where one's premature feeling of having sussed out the album's every trick eventually gives way to an unexpectedly lengthy discovery period. Sure enough, the somewhat more straightforward classic metal of "My Acid Words," and "Bittersweet Feast," and the by-now-expected-semi-power-ballad "Sentient 6" are about as predictable as it gets; and the lone questionable inclusion of the minute-and-a-half "The Holocaust of Thought" is ultimately justified by its introductory status for the highly effective, evocative slow-burner "Sell My Heart for Stones." And don't forget the near-nine-minute title track, which culminates in what must surely stand as one of Nevermore's most consistent LP's in suitably epic fashion. Indeed, American-bred heavy metal doesn't get any better than this. NEVERMORE: Release Date Set For 'This Godless Endeavor' has set a July 26 release date for the new NEVERMORE album, entitled "This Godless Endeavor" . Creating metal's most progressively innovative, insidiously addictive, and blazingly entangled music, mesmerizing vocalist Warrel Dane , backed by guitar virtuoso Jeff Loomis and the jackhammer rhythms of bassist Jim Sheppard and drummer Van Williams are now joined by guitarist Steve Smyth (ex- TESTAMENT , DRAGONLORD ), who marks his NEVERMORE recording debut. Smyth toured extensively with the band throughout 2003 and 2004, including a U.S. tour with DIMMU BORGIR and CHILDREN OF BODOM , and performance at Germany’s prestigious Wacken Open Air Festival . Traveling to England's Backstage Studios ( ARCH ENEMY , KREATOR ), the band reunites with production wizard ( OPETH , MACHINE HEAD ) who "provided an atmosphere conducive to creativity," says Dane . "This album contains the trademark NEVERMORE songcraft you have either come to love or hate," he continues, "and some of the most ripping guitar work we’ve recorded." Stark artwork by Hugh Syme ( RUSH , MEGADETH ) incorporates the "theme we've developed over the last few albums of everyone wearing a mask," he explains. With the title, "This Godless Endeavor" , being a discussion on, as Dane sees it, "the ongoing struggle between science and religion." Psyched to be part of this summer's Gigantour alongside other main-stage acts MEGADETH and DREAM THEATER , Dane is ready to let fans experience the immediacy and urgency that have played such a huge part in their songs' mind-boggling sophistication. MEGADETH mainman and guitarist Dave Mustaine commented about including the band on Gigantour 's main stage: "Having produced SANCTUARY 's album 'Refuge Denied' , it’s obvious that I would appreciate anything that Warrel and Jim were doing. The fact that Shawn and Glen Drover ( MEGADETH , EIDOLON ) are also their friends and huge NEVERMORE fans made it an easy choice." In 1994, NEVERMORE rose from the ashes of cult metal band SANCTUARY , catching fans' attention with acclaimed early releases "Nevermore" (1995), the "In Memory" EP (1996), "The Politics of Ecstasy" (1996), and "Dreaming Neon Black" (1999). The four releases were recorded by celebrated producer Neil Kernon ( JUDAS PRIEST , QUEENSRŸCHE ), and the band was joined by guitarists Pat O' Brian ( CANNIBAL CORPSE ) on the two 1996 releases and (ex- FORBIDDEN ) for their 1999 conceptual masterpiece. "Dead Heart In A Dead World" (2000), produced by Andy Sneap , moved Loomis ' guitar work to the production’s forefront, and while touring tirelessly, songs "Narcosynthesis" and "Inside Four Walls" became anthemic fan favorites. Followed by Outburn magazine's "must-have album of the year," 2003's release "Enemies of Reality" further showcased their mature musicianship. Containing "opuses that often reach dark symphonic peaks" ( Guitar One ), the album was recently remixed and remastered by Andy Sneap . Nevermore: This Godless Endeavor. Out of all the bands from the exploding American metal scene over the past half decade, none have earned more acclaim and respect from both their peers and from metal fans than Seattle’s Nevermore. Steeped heavily in the classic elements of traditional metal, and adding more contemporary touches of post-thrash/post-death metal, the band has established themselves as one of the country’s most powerful acts, as 1999’s Dreaming Neon Black , 2000’s Dead Heart in a Dead World , and 2003’s Enemies of Reality have seen the band outdoing themselves with each subsequent release. However, with the heaps of critical acclaim and worship from the metal community, mainstream success has eluded Nevermore. While Lamb of God, Mastodon, Arch Enemy, and Shadows Fall have all successfully made the leap to crossover stardom, Nevermore remain largely a cult band, known primarily by fans of the genre. It’s something all metal fans love, the perennial underdog, a woefully underappreciated band they can call their own. Well, it’s high time the fans learned to let go, because the band’s sixth album is one that deserves to reach ears outside the metal realm. The band’s blend of traditional and modern sounds is fascinating: traces of ’80s greats such as Queensryche, , and are easily detectable in their compositions, but instead of being a straightforward retro act like the affable Iced Earth, Nevermore tosses in monstrous doses of European elements, such as blazingly fast tempos, tautly performed arrangements, and unrelenting blastbeats. The resulting sound is one of impressive brutality and technical dexterity, yet it remains remarkably accessible throughout. Nevermore’s greatest asset is the trio of musicians that form the core of the group. Drummer Van Williams is the finest American metal drummer today, his thunderous beats sounding muscular and lithe at the same time; he can hammer the skins as hard as Lars Ulrich did in the mid-’80s, yet pull off dexterous polyrhythms and tempo changes as easily and with as much grace as Rush’s Neil Peart. Guitarist Jeff Loomis, meanwhile, is a virtuosic talent, whose riffs and solos are both dizzying and expressive. Boasting the chops that rival Yngwie Malmsteen, his playing exudes more emotion than any noodler from the ’80s ever has. It’s vocalist Warrell Dane, though, who is the band’s trump card. The classic, operatic metal singer is a dying breed, as young bands opt (lazily, many think) for a more hardcore style of vocals, but following the example of great singers such as Fates Warning’s John Arch and Candlemass’s Messiah Marcolin, Dane possesses tremendous range, yet he never overplays his hand. As a result, manages not to fall into corny, operatic self-parody. Nobody can sell a song about Armageddon as well as Warrell Dane. With each new album, Nevermore doesn’t pull off massive surprises, so much as simply evolve steadily and confidently. They have never released a subpar record, their sound seems to become even stronger with each passing year, and to nobody’s surprise, This Godless Endeavor has the band firing on all cylinders once again. Pristinely produced by Andy Sneap (who’s been a busy guy lately, having produced the recent album by Arch Enemy as well), the new release is as stately as it is aggressive. In fact, judging by the cannonading opening cut “Born (The Retribution of Spiritual Sickness)”, Nevermore has not sounded this ferocious in many years, the entire band taking on a death metal form, Dane temporarily eschewing his soaring vocals for a more extreme metal growl, before returning to his singing during the melodic chorus. “Final Product” is a midtempo beast that skewers the sadistic nature of the media (“We’re witnessing a famine of the innocent/ Did they die for religion or the government?”), as is “Medicate Nation”, which tackles our culture’s obsession with designer drugs. Meanwhile, the mellow instrumental “The Holocaust of Thought” segues neatly into the contemplative “Sell My Heart for Stones”, which hearkens back to Queensryche’s Rage For Order album. It’s the album’s final third that serves up the biggest thrills, starting with the ornate, moody “The Psalm of Lydia”, which alternates between swirling atmospherics and massively heavy moments, Williams’s versatile percussion performance sounding especially inspired. “A Future Uncertain” begins by hinting at the doom metal of Candlemass, but soon explodes out of the gate at a breakneck pace, the band revealing more surprises at each turn. The nine minute title track closes this epic album is suitably epic fashion; really, Nevermore is doing nothing new here, but the way they shift from acoustic to electric, from a lugubrious pace to a full-on gallop, not to mention the stunning breakdown five minutes in, is still something to behold. This Godless Endeavor does seem to contain one track too many, as “Bittersweet Feast” is the lone ordinary song on an otherwise extraordinary album, but minor complaints aside, this yet another chapter in what has become one of the more impressive album streaks in recent metal history. Nevermore has the respect; all they need now are the sales. If there’s any justice in this world, the metal kids will put down those cookie-cutter metalcore albums, and give this venerable band some long-overdue attention.
