Nevermore

Older, wiser, still loud, Nevermore is a Seattle-based band that has left an unparalleled mark on the worlds of heavy metal and progressive metal. The band now moves forward under the leadership of world-renowned guitarist Jeff Loomis (ex-Arch Enemy, Conquering Dystopia) and drummer Van Williams (Ghost Ship Octavius, ex-Ashes of Ares), joined by guitarist Jack Cattoi, bassist Semir Özerkan, and vocalist Berzan Önen.

Over the years, Nevermore developed a sound that remains instantly recognizable to this day. From their 1995 self-titled debut through landmark releases like Dead Heart in a Dead World and This Godless Endeavor, the band earned a global following and a reputation as one of modern metal’s most distinctive voices. They have shared stages with Megadeth, Dream Theater, Opeth, Fear Factory, Symphony X, and countless others.

After disbanding in 2011 and the passing of founding vocalist Warrel Dane in 2017, their legacy never stopped inspiring musicians and fans worldwide. In 2026, Nevermore returned to the stage for one of the most talked-about comebacks in the recent history of metal. Following their first show with the new lineup in front of a sold-out crowd in Istanbul, the band played the European festival circuit, including performances at Wacken and Bloodstock, and joined Judas Priest for seven European dates. They are also preparing a European headlining tour with Rivers of Nihil. A new album is currently in the works.

ProgStorm Festival 2027 will mark Nevermore’s first Canadian show since 2010.

They will perform on Saturday, August 21, 2027.
