Nevermore was formed after Dane and Sheppard's previous band, Sanctuary (US) bit the dust. Despite maintaining an admirably consistent line-up since their formation, securing a regular axe partner for Jeff Loomis has always been a problem for Nevermore. Curran Murphy (Annihilator), Chris Broderick (Jag Panzer) and Steve Smyth (Testament), have filled in the second guitarist spot for various tours in the past, with the latter being given the job permanently in 2004.
James MacDonough filled in on bass in summer 2006 while Jim Sheppard was getting treatment for Crohn's Disease. Chris Broderick also stepped in again as a replacement guitarist from 2006 to 2007 as Steve Smyth was diagnosed with kidney failure. When he completed his recovery he left Nevermore anyway.
Jeff Loomis tried out for Megadeth after Chris Poland was fired in 1987.
Warrel Dane is working on a solo album with Peter Wichers and Dirk Vereuren (Soilwork). He also performed guest vocals for Behemoth (Pol) in 2007.
Not to be confused with Nevermore from New York.
Contrary to popular rumor, although there are solo albums out by both Warrel Dane and Jeff Loomis, Nevermore is still very much active and working.
