NEVERMORE’S WARREL DANE READY TO EMBARK ON SOLO CAREER WITH HALF OF SOILWORK
Tuesday, April 15th, 2008 at 1:17pm by Vince Neilstein
Praises to the War Machine, the first solo effort from Nevermore / Sanctuary vocalist Warrel Dane, is one of the releases yet to come out this Spring that I’m most looking forward to. The effort was recorded and mixed by ex-Soilwork axeman Peter Wichers who also plays guitar and bass on the album; Soilwork drummer Dirk Verbeuren plays drums on the record as well. Praises to the War Machine is now available for streaming in its entirety on Warrel Dane’s MySpace. Also, check out the handy-dandy widget, below!
The result? Praises to the War Machine sounds something like Soilmore or Neverwork, not that this is a bad thing at all. The production and guitar tone are Wichers’ trademark, but Dane’s vocals add a dynamic to the music that’s distinctly Nevermore. If you’re a fan of either, you’ll likely dig this release. If you’re unfamiliar with Nevermore, you a) are a nincompoop, b) should check out several of their songs here. And I’m guessing most of you know Soilwork pretty well.
Praises to the War Machine drops April 28th in Europe and May 13th in the U.S. on Century Media.

This is a great release and Dane he says, “Wear the Fools crown”
Too bad Zao already used that title
I’m finding it a little less gothic and dark than Nevermore, which is a good thing. That has been my only real issue w/ Nevermore, an otherwise great band.
Actually, this is quite good. iTunes, here I come.
Nevermore’s dark sound has always been what drew me to them. Dane’s voice is haunting, and Loomis’s diminished sweeps are like the H. R. Giger fucking The Matrix.
