A three-part audio interview with NEVERMORE members Warrel Dane (vocals) and Jim Sheppard (bass), conducted on Sunday, August 20 by "Metal Shop" on the Seattle station 99.9 KISW, has been posted online. Check it out in Windows Media format: Part#1, Part#2, Part#3.

As previously reported, NEVERMORE's September 12, 2006 concert at the Zeche club in Bochum, Germany will be filmed for the band's first-ever DVD, tentatively due in early 2007. The Seattle-based metallers will play a set of about two hours, featuring material spanning their 11-year career. The result will be the main part of their forthcoming home DVD, captured by a seven-camera team, with live recordings (in 5.1 Surround Sound) handled by producer Andy Sneap, who produced the band's latest album, "This Godless Endeavor". The planned double-DVD set will also contain a full NEVERMORE documentary, live footage from throughout the band's career, all of their promotional videos and more extras. Only 666 tickets will be available for the Bochum show.

NEVERMORE announced in June that they would also be filming their August 25, 2006 performance at the Studio Seven in Seattle, Washington for the upcoming DVD.

NEVERMORE guitarist Steve Smyth (ex-TESTAMENT) was diagnosed with end-stage kidney failure last fall, the result of a congenital birth defect. JAG PANZER guitarist Chris Broderick filled in for Smyth on all European festival dates, just as he has done on the band's recent U.S. tour.

NEVERMORE's bass player and one of the founding members Jim Sheppard recently underwent a minor procedure for Crohn's Disease, a condition he's managed for over 15 years. Unable to perform with the band during the first part of their recent tour with IN FLAMES, Sheppard was temporarily replaced by longtime friend James MacDonough (ex-MEGADETH, ICED EARTH).

NEVERMORE will be supporting DISTURBED across Europe this fall. After their touring activity the band will be taking time off to write the follow-up to last year's critically acclaimed album "This Godless Endeavor".

Warrel Dane is collaborating with former SOILWORK guitarist Peter Wichers on material for Dane's first solo album. The CD is expected to include an appearance by Warrel's former SANCTUARY (pre-NEVERMORE) bandmate Dave Budbill (currently in ZEROCREEP) on drums. No information is presently available regarding the album's musical direction or possible release date.
 
They're even more goofy sober. How does that happen. ahahaha.

I dunno why, but now I'm hungry for pepperoni hot pockets.

:lol: Blatant Leary reference. When he speaks like that, taking a trip would be darn crazy!
yeah, that was awesome! I instantly thought of a particular Infected Mushroom song when he said that.

This interview actually had 4 parts, but I kept the first one out due to some questionable content on OUR part, not Warrel or Jim's.

This was a super fun interview. It's always a blast having the guys on air with us!

so i guess "as the result of a congenital birth defect" is the new term for drug and alcohol abuse
then you are one not sufficiently informed Einstein.
I fuckin' hate echoing... :err:

note: still haven't heard the interview.
 
Well I'm glad you guys liked it. I get nervous about posting anything I find on Blabbermouth here anymore, but I thought this was just too funny.:lol: :loco:
