| | Nevermore Dead Heart In A Dead World CD Nevermore Discography of CDs
 (13 Customer Reviews)
The fourth in a list of solid releases from Nevermore, Dead Heart in a Dead World is possibly the group's most accomplished recording. For the first time, Jeff Loomis handles all the guitar duties himself, giving the disc a musical continuity that was sometimes lacking on prior efforts. Nevermore co-founder Warrel Dane (vocals), Jim Sheppard (bass), and Van Williams (drums) join Loomis on this 2000 Century Media offering. All four members demonstrate great command of their instruments, but Loomis' guitar playing stands out. Bold and inventive, the combination of nu-metal and '80s golden-era metal riffing propels Dead Heart in a Dead World and Nevermore ahead of the American indie metal pack. "The River Dragon Has Come" and "We Disintegrate" are just two superior examples of Loomis' dissonant, detuned grooves. Dane's moaning almost sinks mellower numbers like "Insignificant" and the title track, but Loomis provides the buoyancy these otherwise dull songs need to become listenable -- in fact, they're almost interesting. The members of Nevermore were always ready to challenge themselves, and Dead Heart in a Dead World confirms the wisdom of that ethic through the realization of the band's massive potential. ~ Vincent Jeffries

Dead Heart In A Dead World Music Nevermore Dead Heart In A Dead World Songs Dead Heart In A Dead World Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews outsider's opinion
I have been listening to european power metal for years now, so this is quite a nice change. I cannot compare to other albums, so i'll just give my outsider's opinion. This brand of metal retains the agressivity of past speed metal in parts, and adds an aura of doom over it all, which sometimes smoothens the songs, with slower melodies and "grand" vocals. The guitars sound thick and a bit sludgey, the solos have a clear tone, with a very creative choice of notes and phrasing, subtle wah, and lots of shred. This is quite a heavy album, with dissonant notes and broken riffs, but still with pretty melodies inserted in between. I liked the variety throughout, sludgey riffs, tighter aggressive riffs, clean parts and original lead playing. The singer sings with a clean voice, and sometimes seems not to be powerful enough for the song, but he does a good job nonetheless. I was recommended this album as a starting point with Nevermore, and i will probably listen to other albums they have done.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Incredible Musicianship
I have to hand it to these guys. Their musicianship is incredible! The only thing I can complain about is the negativity of some of their lyrics. Why do you have a dead heart in a "dead" world, guys? And what's this fear of technology? Then again, some of the darker songs compliment what they want to say. "Four Walls" is dark, but it is making a point against America's prison system. Despite my few annoyances though, this album is good. There's not much to criticize.

With their sprawling, progressive balladry mixed with speed metal turns, Nevermore seem to retreat from the consistent power metal stance of Politics of Ecstasy on 1999's Dreaming Neon Black. On this, their third full-length release for the giant indie metal label Century Media, the band slips creatively, rehashing concepts and sonics from their earlier material. The struggles could be due in part to the group's first lineup change in their six-year history as ex-Forbidden guitarist ...

Dead Heart In A Dead World
$8.59  
There's a breed of (post-1980s) bands with the same degree of grand rock experimentalism as Pink Floyd and Yes, who simultaneously adhere to the concept of concise songwriting. Porcupine Tree is one such band--their sound is a balance of lush ambient textures, charming vocal harmonies, rock & roll directness, and acoustically- and electronically-generated sounds. Their debut IN ABSENTIA shows all these elements in place, rich with the likely possibility of them becoming a contemporary ...

Dead Heart In A Dead World
$10.25 
Seattlites Nevermore carved a unique little niche for themselves, mixing power metal, thrash, and traditional heavy metal stylings into a heady, dark witch's brew that's as muscular as it is melodic. While previous platters Dead Heart, in a Dead World and Dreaming Neon Black were sprawling, epic concept albums, Enemies of Reality has more elements of a nasty little thrash record, clocking in at a relatively brief 40 minutes and letting rip with the pummeling aggression of the leadoff title track (which boasts typically stellar guitar work courtesy of Jeff Loomis, who carefully balances technical shredding with rock-solid, articulate riffs). Producer Kelly ...
