DESTRUCTION and JEFF LOOMIS to bring the metal rain to India in December

How did you feel when the river dragon known as NEVERMORE, almost came to India but split up before they could? How will you feel when you learn that their legendary shred master JEFF LOOMIS is doing a 4-city India tour in December? Well, believe it! From 9th to 12th December, the ARCH ENEMY/CONQUERING DYSTOPIA virtuoso will play guitar clinics at shows in Guwahati, Bangalore, New Delhi and one more city that is yet to be announced. Make sure you save the date depending on your city.

Also, save the date between 9th and 11th December for the return of teutonic thrash titans DESTRUCTION! They return to India on their tour supporting their new album ‘Under Attack’ and they will be playing 3 cities that are yet to be announced. The butcher has struck back!

Together, these 2 artistes shall be bringing the rain of metal in winter to India! Don’t miss either! More details to be announced soon.

Jeff Loomis and Van Williams part ways with Nevermore

In what has been an extremely shocking turn of events, Jeff Loomis and Van Williams, Nevermore’s guitarist and drummer respectively have announced their departure from the band. Loomis and Williams who had been with Nevermore since the band’s first album, 1995’s self titled, Nevermore, have shaken fans all over the world with this announcement, fans really begin to wonder what the future holds for this iconic band. Jeff and Van have however issued a statement.

“In a mutual decision Jeff Loomis and Van Williams have decided to leave Nevermore. The time has come to pursue our own paths from the group. Due to internal struggles and ongoing issues within the band, we feel it is our time to move on. We would like to thank all of our fans around the world for their years of love, support and enthusiasm. This was not an easy decision but a very necessary one at this point, may we all meet again someday, somewhere in time.”

With K.K. Downing’s retirement barely digested, it seems like the metal world is falling apart. I sincerely hope the band carries on with the power and the greatness of legendary frontman Warrel Dane, though musicians at the level of Jeff and Van are practically impossible to replace. Looks like a future uncertain, indeed.
