Nevermore Guitarist, Drummer Quit the Band

Century Media


Drummer Van Williams and guitarist Jeff Loomis have announced their departure from Nevermore. Both players have been in the band since the band's self-titled debut in 1995. In a joint press release, they issued the following statement:

"In a mutual decision, Jeff Loomis and Van Williams have decided to leave Nevermore. The time has come to pursue our own paths from the group. Due to internal struggles and ongoing issues within the band, we feel it is our time to move on. We would like to thank all of our fans around the world for their years of love, support, and enthusiasm. This was not an easy decision, but a very necessary one at this point. May we all meet again someday, somewhere in time."



Nevermore recently canceled their planned US tour with Symphony X. No information on further tour dates has been given at this time.

Annoying, boring, and another group that sounds like every other band without originality.

If you think Nevermore sounds like every other band, then you've never heard their music. They are one of the most original sounding bands in the power/progressive metal scene.

"Nermore?" Should be called Never Heard Of Them, because I haven't, and qoulsn't want too, they look like skanks who crawled from a big city sewer. No someone throw them back in.

You can't be serious? Nevermore has lost their guitarist? Why wasn't this on the evening news? All this nonsense about Syria, tsunamis, and serial killers. Please keep us informed.

Jeff Loomis is a pure F**KIN genius and Williams is a monster from hell on drums. But they never sounded right with that singer. It sounded badass until that dude started singing. I wish Jeff and Van the best of luck.
