Jeff Loomis and Van Williams Respond to Criticism of The Nevermore Reunion, Announces Singer and Bassist Auditions 

Posted on by

Jeff Loomis and Van Williams of Nevermore have responded to criticism of their plans foreshadowed in a new online teaser for the return of the band in 2025. Vocalist and co-founder Warrel Dane passed away in 2017 and guitarist Tim Calvert also passed away in 2018. Also, this week bassist Jim Sheppard claimed via a now-deleted social media post the idea of reuniting is “disrespectful,” and he was “not consulted.” Jeff and Van, via their personal social media accounts (they have yet to post from Nevermore’s accounts), they gave their rationale for bringing back the beloved band. They also gavea reason for not contacting Sheppard and including him, plans to move forward, and announced worldwide auditions for a singer and a bass player for the project, and how to submit private YouTube.                  Continue reading →
