NEVERMORE have dismissed as totally false the statement issued by the groups record company, Century Media Records, on Thursday, October 8th that indicated that the band had withdrawn from the five-date east coast/midwest tour with OVERKILL (which was scheduled to run from November 25th through December 2nd) in order to begin work on the highly anticipated follow-up to Dead Heart In A Dead World. In two separate e-mails to BLABBERMOUTH.NET sent by vocalist Warrel Dane and a subsequent statement posted at the groups official web site, NEVERMORE make it clear that they feel the labels press release was nothing but a ploy to apply pressure on the band to re-sign with the company before the recording of Seattle acts forthcoming CD, which will fulfill the groups obligations under NEVERMOREs current contract with Century Media. The bands statement reads as follows: [Century Media] has put out a press statement that appeared on BLABBERMOUTH.NET and Brave Words... It is totally false. We did not withdraw from the tour to work on our new CD. We were told the tour was cancelled. At this time they are trying to force us to re-sign before our contract is up....so come to your own conclusions."
