Nevermore?

I'm just trying to recommend them to fans of prog-metal...I'm not pushing them to be on the archives. Learn how to read.
Having trouble causing problems? It's not working so far.

Just to re-iterate then it isnt a shock.

I'm a huge nevermore fan(even if the W.Dane is a bit too much some times), that band is amazing!
And I can see why you ask why they're not in the progressive metal genre? Because for me they should be.
They are more prog than Death for, I take Death in comparison cause everybody will agree that they're prog but they are more prog than plenty of bands in the category, at least that's my point of view!

W.Dane used to be an opera singer, I was told, very powerful voice anyway.

I agree about the sound of perseverance, my favourite death album with symbolic.

Now why is Nevermore prog?
_their use of acoustic and electric guitars in the same songs.
_their creativity
_their virtuosity
_rythm changes, very well arranged melodies, work on harmony
_they use a typical prog structure for some of their songs(the learning, this godless endeavour)with an intro, then appearance of the main theme, then many rythmic different sections, main theme, outro.

It's not their main characteristics tough, but hey it's a metal band!
well progessive metal it is! less prog than opeth of course but as prog as maiden and death sure!!!!

^ In Flames is also a good example of a band which plays highly technical/virtuosic music but stays away from prog at the same time. Nevermore are prog related IMO, but not enough for me to insist for them to be added.

i agree, although there is some work on harmony on sorrowed man for exemple? Welll of one song
BUT they're not even in the prog related section!!!!!!!!
they should be add!! in the same category as opeth even i don't agree with you concerning them they're are more than just technical, have you listened to damanation(not that technical actually), deliverance??, or songs like  a fair judgement, the first two albums...
In my opinion opeth are more prog along with other metal bands like the old dead tree than what I saw in the progressive metal section, for exemple KAMELOT (are you serious??)or symphony X. Of course some of their releases are clearly oriented death metal but some of dream theatre albums has nothing prog (their first)or very little images and world(though exellent, well it's sometimes prog thinkin it again) or falling into infinity.
This is very subjective anyway

He's has two songs on his Myspace page:

The album comes out at the end of this month but I was able to hear a promo copy of the whole thing.

its not about being unique, its about having prog elements, they dont have them.
and beside power they have also some really interesting trash and melodic death elements.
and a really interesting vocal. i said it before and i say it again, good band, but not prog.

The PMT rejected Nevermore long ago,and since then I personally have no reason to change my vote from no to yes.

A little heads up...not all of the prog metal bands here were added by us.
