We all know about the deal with the band and this being thier last album with CM. My plea to the record company is to show some faith and put some damn effort behind this release! Metal is experiencing somewhat of a rebirth right now, with the return of Headbangers Ball and even with Metallica getting back in the spotlight with a supposed heavier effort. You have Uranium playing videos along with the Ball, and there is even a metal channel on DirecTV...use these resources and push this band! Nevermore is one of the few heavy bands that has actual singing, not screaming - not to mention poignant lyrics and a freaking guitar superstar! I was in a band that patterned itself after Nevermore and Sanctuary, and I can tell you one of the reasons we decided to hang it up was because we knew we weren't as good as them, and if Nevermore was still playing crapholes with no tour support, how could we make it? Give the guys credit for sticking to their guns and still giving you countless albums of strong material and living on a tour bus without any real help from you!
 
Buzz, you have a great point. Being that this is the last for NM on this label, I was afraid that it would go unpromoted myself. Hopefully, enough people talk, and we do the work for CM. Sadly, it's big mouthed fans that do a fair amount of nameless promotions.

I have always felt, and always will--Century Media doesn't know what to do with any band that gets moderately big. They seem okay with the smaller bands, but when they start doing festivals etc., they are at a loss for what to do, how to promote them. No offense to Europeans, but Canada, US, Mexico, Brazil, etc., love Nevermore just as much as Europe does.
 
Thats all
