I really hate this band a lot, but Clouds Over California is actually a badass song IMO.

Nah, I can't stand their other stuff. Seems like their new album is actually half decent though.

The vocals sound really inappropriate for that song to me for some reason.

 

[j666]

funny, it's my least fave...so far.

the first one reminds me a bit of coal chamber but still good...since i liked coal chameber (first album only).
the second album is awesome! period.

you can go ahead and be picky...i'm gonna go listen to some killer fukken tunes.

hellz no...there's no such thing as inappropriate vox. i used to make myself hate helmet and fear factory cuz i thought the clean vocals shouldn't have been on songs like that...i was wrong...big time.

I just got the new Peter Wichers (Nuclear Blast 20th Anniversary) CD, so I've been all about that recently, considering I'm a huge Wichers fanboy.

solo project? what's it like?

He wrote all the songs and produced the album, each song has a different vocalist which is pretty cool. Henry and Dirk from Soilwork did all the drums.

1. Dysfunctional Hours (feat. Anders Friden - IN FLAMES)
2. Schizo (feat. Peter Tägtgren - HYPOCRISY)
3. Devotion (feat. Jari Mäenpäa - WINTERSUN)
4. The Overshadowing (feat. Christian Alvestam - SCAR SYMMETRY)
5. Paper Trail (feat. John Bush - ex-ANTHRAX)
6. The Dawn Of All (feat. Bjorn Strid - SOILWORK)
7. Cold Is My Vengeance (feat. Maurizio Iacono - KATAKLYSM)
8. My Name Is Fate (feat. Mark Osegueda - DEATH ANGEL)
9. The Gilded Dagger (feat. Richard Sjunnesson & Roland Johansson - SONIC SYNDICATE)
10. Closer To The Edge (feat. Guillaume Bideau - MNEMIC)

They're all pretty cool songs, and each one is somewhat similar to the style of band that the vocalist is in, but it's mainly melodic death metal type stuff. It's got the Wichers/Soilwork type feel to it most of the time, and his solos are killer as usual.

holeeshit! that looks awesome! kinda probot-ish. i'm curious to see what soilwork sounds like without him.

I am as well. I'm guessing it will sound pretty similar to FNF and STD (hilarious album abbreviation), but it would be cool if they even went back to the NBC style. Did you see one of the new songs on the Soilwork album is called The Pittsburgh Syndrome?

NEVERMORE Frontman's Solo Album To Feature SOILWORK Drummer
Posted Date : 8/10/2007 | Posted by : voodoo | Views : 97

NEVERMORE frontman Warrel Dane is currently recording his debut solo album, which is tentatively due in early 2008. Dane has written about eight tracks with former SOILWORK guitarist-turned-producer Peter Wichers and has also collaborated with ex-HIMSA guitarist Matt Wicklund on a few songs.

Wichers has issued the following update on the project: "I just came back from Baltimore (Wrightway studios) after recording drums together with Dirk Verbeuren [SOILWORK, SCARVE] for Warrel's solo record.

"Now, this record will be friggin' sweet, and I just started laying down some guitars for it a couple of says ago.

"The record will be tracked here in Nashville [where Wichers currently resides after relocating from Los Angeles]."

Dane previously stated about his solo CD: "The recording will start pretty soon, but since I have NEVERMORE shows coming up in August Pete [Peter Wichers] can get this thing going and I'll end up doing vocals on my off time from NEVERMORE shows. Matt's songs are killer as well...I just have to take a step back sometimes and say to myself, 'Fuck, I'm lucky to get to jam with these killer songwriters."

In a September 2006 interview with Metal-Rules.com, Dane had the following to say about the musicail direction of his solo material: "I've been working on it for like the last year off and on, just writing songs with Peter Wichers, and at some point we'll finish them then go in the studio . . . It doesn't sound like NEVERMORE, and I think, you know, if it did, there wouldn't be much point in doing a side project. If it sounded like NEVERMORE I think it would be a little redundant . . . Of course it's metal! Kind of like metal-infused hard rock, I think. It's different and it's a chance for me to explore myself — explore myself in other ways! [laughs] Well, for me, and for Peter from SOILWORK as well, it was kind of a chance for us both to 'step outside the box,' because people expect a certain thing from both those bands and with this we don't have to fulfill any expectations. We can do whatever we want."

[mrp5150]

I wanna know what the deal with that Pittsburgh Syndrome song title is. I Googled that and nothing came up, I just assumed it was some kind of real disease or something at first.
