Je n'ai pas retrouvé le sujet si toutefois il a existé.
Bref le chanteur de Nevermore va sortir un album solo. Il a collaboré avec Peter Witchers l'ex Soilwork.
Je copie/colle ce que j'ai vu chez les defenders.
After much anticipation, the stunning, inaugural solo effort from NEVERMORE vocalist Warrel Dane, entitled "Praises to the War Machine", will finally see a North American release on May 13 (April in Europe) via Century Media Records. With this effort one of metal's most defining and revolutionary vocalists further hones his craft to perfection.
Dane, who first shattered the boundaries of conventionality with the legendary SANCTUARY and NEVERMORE, proves that he is one of metal's most diverse frontmen with this solo effort as he unleashes a barrage of introspective and personal lyrics that are heartfelt and extremely powerful. All of this emotion backed with his soaring angelic and dynamic vocals provides all of the necessary elements for a savagely captivating, melodic assault that quickly hooks you in. This exhilarating new offering begins a new chapter for Dane and will soon further solidify his spot as one of the genre's most influential artists.
Before beginning this new venture, Dane went out and surrounded himself with some of the best musicians that he could find. This search ultimately resulted in landing the renowned Peter Wichers (ex-SOILWORK) on guitars and bass, Dirk Verbeuren (SOILWORK) on drums and Matt Wicklund (ex-HIMSA) on guitars. The effort was also recorded and mixed by Wichers (co-producer of SOILWORK).
Commented Dane: "Right around the time NEVERMORE was recording 'This Godless Endeavour', I started talking to Peter Wichers about maybe doing something together. I think we both wanted to do something different and that's ultimately what got the ball rolling. I had always wanted to work with a songwriter that had a more song based approach rather than focusing on technical skills and Peter was exactly that. We collaborated on almost everything and I wrote all the lyrics and melodies. Peter had great ideas at times for harmonies, that's what a good producer does, and I think he's really come into his own as a producer with this record.
"The purpose of doing this project was to step out of the confines of NEVERMORE and focus on coming up with memorable songs instead of constructing songs that showcased everyone's skills. The material is more straightforward than NEVERMORE, but I don't know what to call it. I think my influences have really played a part of the sound. I love old-school goth and I love thrash metal, and every other kind of metal, there's a little bit of all of that in the record."

Et un titre en écoute sur son myspace. Le mec a une bonne voix mais ses lignes de chant sont toujours aussi tortueuses. Le morceau est néanmoins plus léger que du Nevermore. Pris hors de son contexte, le titre n'est pas super convaincant je trouve. Je testerais l'album quand même.
