"It's almost sad this cd only has 5 songs on it. Warrel Dane is just unbelievable. Jeff and Pat are legendary on this cd. I can't even believe I'm about to say this, but this has to be the only disc I own that actually brings tears to my eyes. Matricide in particular, and I'm not even a hippy or any goofy sh*t like that. No really though, it's a great disc with some sweet covers. Just a little short. Still gets 5 stars for the emotional drawing power, yet this album is still very forceful. It's all in the delivery, and few come close to Dane."

Essential EP

"Seattle-based metal act Nevermore followed up their self-titled 1995 debut album with the 5-song EP In Memory. In Memory finds the band continuing to develop their post-thrash, sort of doomy, sort of gothic, sort of power metal, but always dark style, which to this day remains almost impossible to categorize. The four studio tracks - Optimist or Pessimist, Matricide, Sorrowed Man, and the title track - are as good as anything you'd find on Politics of Ecstasy or the band's debut, but the real highlight is the unexpected inclusion of a cover medley of Bauhaus's Silent Hedges and Double Dare. I love when bands come up with cover songs that showcase their versatility and range, and this is one of the best.



These stop-gap EPs often tend to get overlooked, but In Memory remains an important chapter in the Nevermore legacy, and one that all Nevermore fans should own."
