"His spirit will be around." A beloved, long-lost cult prog metal band have announced their first shows in 16 years - and you can hear their first rehearsals together

Nevermore
Nevermore 2026.

Resurrected US prog metal group Nevermore have announced their new line-up. Long-time members Jeff Loomis (guitars) and Van Williams (drums) had previously teased plans to bring the band back in December 2024, but confirmed last week they'd recruited Jack Cattoi on guitars, Oceans Of Slumber's Semir Özerkan on bass, and Turkish singer and vocal coach Berzan Önen to replace original vocalist Warrel Dane, who died after a heart attack in 2017.

The band had already announced appearances at Germany's Wacken festival and Bloodstock Open Air in the UK this summer, but have now revealed their first show in 16 years will take place in Istanbul, Turkey on April 1.
