Yep, got 31 years under my belt too. It's nice to know that even though we are all growing older and older, our music still has a very strong presence in the world. As far as me initially getting into Nevermore...I actually bought them for the cover artwork initially. I saw it on the Century Media website whilst perusing for new cd's to add to my hocked away collection. "Hocked?" you say. Yep, hocked. I had a 200+ cd metal collection. I was a metal junkie if ever there was one. Then I made the mistake of marrying someone not into the same type of music. Needless to say, money got tight, and the cd's were a quick way to some cash. Now, one divorce later and a metal junkie is reborn. Anyway, I bought the Dead Heart cd on the basis of cool coverart. I got the cd, popped it in and was totally blown away. Then I just worked my way back through their catalog. DNB is by far my favorite, because it evokes so many emotions within me.
