I never dove into the Nevermore forum (that I recall) but it certainly looked like a lot of fun when I'd lurk on occasion. RC and that board were a bit incestuous at some point, aye? Can I still use that word in a jovial manner? Probably not.
I've never owned a Nevermore album, however, when someone plays them for me I typically have a good time. I don't know why I never got into them honestly, I was a Groove Metal Guy back in the '90s. Grip Inc, Fear Factory, Pantera, etc.
