Shit. The band is as good as dead. A shame.
Thankfully I saw them twice before!

And they ended on a downer of an album as well. I guess the internal strife could explain the lacklustre nature of the recent record. Mega sad times though.

I was going to see them for the first time in August...f**k!!!!!
And yes, their last album was by far, the weakest they've ever done. That might explain the departure of both Van and Jeff.

This is the end of an era. Nevermore have long been one of my favorite bands, even as I've moved away a little from metal. They still remained in perpetual rotation on my ipod. Godless Endeavor is still a masterpiece of an album in my opinion. I hope Jeff and Van resurface soon as they are great musicians. I'm not a hundred percent surprised as I've heard rumors for a while, but it's a shame nonetheless.

And that's by far the worst news of the year. I hope Nevermore will just cease to exist now.

What the fuck? first KK leaves Priest, now Loomis (who pretty much defines Nevermore's sound) leaves his band. the guitarist from Jon Oliva's Pain's death was announced today too. what the hell is going on?
Rest in Peace Nevermore, 1991-2011.

Sad beyond words. Totally unexpected. What an unpleasant news, indeed. This blows.
Guess I should disband too...

Oh fucking great, I got into this band almost a year ago, saw em live once (though it was on the co-headlining tour with Symphony-X) and now they fucking quit? I don't even know em long enough to have bought all their albums...

Loomis (who pretty much defines Nevermore's sound)
Only half of the sound, the other one being Warrel Dane's unique voice

Worst news ever. On the year Nevermore was coming to Portugal and I was gonna see them live, this happens. How ironic.
One of my favourite bands falls apart. I'm mourning...

I've seen nevermore live a bunch of times, but never got into them. Loomis and Williams are pretty damn good though so hopefully they'll do something worthwhile.

I guess I'm so devastated by it all that I'll say something here again, in short:
Nevermore, you're one of the most awesome bands I've ever had the pleasure to listen to. I'll always remember you guys in high spirits because of your great music, above all. Finally, in short, thanks for everything!
God, my heart still feels heavy...

Noooooooooooooo!!!
And I didn't get to see them live because they cancelled.
Without Loomis and Van...it just won't be the same. Even with the mighty Warrell Dane its just wont be the same.
Truly a shame!

What the hell? This is indeed terrible! And it's presented as if Nevermore could POSSIBLY go on without them... So weird. I miss you Nevermore.

Holy Shit!
This is the worst news I've ever received in metal. One of my absolute favorite bands, the one I never grew tired of seeing live and one with the most iconic musicians of all time just fell apart on me. This is not an easy one to recover from. I cannot express how sad I feel about this.

Judas Priest and Nevermore are the two bands that are closest to my heart. Judas Priest got me into metal 5-6 years ago, and I've heard all of their albums probably more than 300 times. Nevermore have been my favorite band the last two years. In two days, both of them have almost fallen apart. This two days is the days that represent the death of music for me. I will get over it, but right now I'm just sad.
