Someone asked about the nevermore discs to listen to. I still havent been able to figure out how to post what others have wrote before and reply..but oh well....
I have been a fan of nevermore since the sanctuary days. Unfortunatley where I live, never been able to see them. They were slated to open for DEATH in charlotte, nc and pulled out last minute.....man was i bummed that night..had to listen to cyclone temple instead...blah...
Anyway....both sanctuary discs are really good, first one has white rabbit....second one into the mirror black...just freaking rocks all the way around....
As far as nevermore goes...seems to me they have had 2 lives....
I still say the frist one is my personal favorite and the best...but then again they were alot different back then. Garden of Grey is still my favorite song by them...other notible favs on that disc....The hurting words, what tomorrow knows, and the pure evil Timothy Leary...
2nd disc was politics of estacy...This one is much more powerful and stands as my 3rd favorite disc from them...Highlights are the title track, seven toungues of god, next in line, and this sacrament.
Then they released dreaming neon black, which is my 2nd favorite disc...This one is a mix of their first two...some really pounding stuff here with a mix of some of the most beautiful vocal arrangements like the first disc. Highlights here are beyond within...which just starts the disc off with a punch right in your face...I am the dog, the title track which is my favorite on the disc, deconstruction and another balls out attack in poison godmachine
After their first 3 realeases I think in my opinion that they made a dramatic change which is what i refer to as their 2nd life.
dead heart in a dead world, the godless endeavor, and enemies of reality are just plain brutal....I think they are much more aggressive now, much more angry, and the more atmospheric beautiful arrangement arent as in the forefront of their first 3. They are all steallar releases and love them all...but if you have never heard of them, I think you should start with 1 and work your way up..giving each disc a full listen and a full chance. I would fear anyone starting with goddless endeavor and work backwords may not appreciate their earlier stuff or appreciate their progression.
Of the final 3 discs...godless endeavor is the best, dead heart 2nd....enemies of reality is my least favorite altho I havent heard the remaster.
I am just so exited to finally see one of my top 5 bands of all time play live....Please, the haters out there, give them a full chance.....I am sure you will get your assess blown off...:hotjump:
