Nevermore-inspired musicians?

[Wavebreaker]

Firstly, I'd like to say
NEVERMORE KICKS ASS ENEMIES OF REALITY IS WICKED!!!
Sorry.
Now that that's off my chest, Id like to ask the musicians here if they feel Nevermore has inspired their playing/writing. I noticed that ever since I started listening to Nevermore (when they toured with Mercyful Fate for DNB) my music (and guitar playing) has gotten heavier and heavier, with a tendency toward constant movement; I think that's influenced by Nevermore's rolling rhythmical style. Also the melodicism (in the guitars and especially vocals) is so haunting and unforgettable, I can't help but be influenced by it (as vocalist and guitarist).

Anyways, my other point of business is to invite any drummers and keyboardists who are in or near Montreal to contact me if they are interested in playing in a seriously heavy progressive metal band (sort of a mix of Nevermore, Opeth, Symphony X, Dream Theater, Death, Porcupine Tree...).
Alright folks, cheers, I'll see you Montrealers at the Medley!

Nevermore inspires me... Warrel has taught me through his music how to get my message across, and to be somewhat open with what i'm feeling

My vocals have been inspired by Warrel since I first heard Sanctuary back in 89. I often get many compliments on the " warrel-like " quality I often show on heavier material.

Warrell has definitely influenced my writing and sparked me to higher proliferation in poetry.

Jeff is the reason I now play 7-string!

Jeff Loomis has a major influence on my soloing. I often go for a mix of the Diminished/Harmonic Minor combinations that he does.
