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." Loomis and Williams had been with Nevermore since the band's first album, 1995's self titled, Nevermore. NEVERMORE recently announced that they would be cancelling their planned tour with Symphony X.

Century Media Records — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 15:18:04 GMT

NEVERMORE Gear Up For Touring; Confirm Treks with Symphony X and Sepultura NEVERMORE has landed on several 'Best of 2010' lists this month but that seems to be an obvious conclusion from releasing what many view as the best NEVERMORE album yet, 'The Obsidian Conspiracy'. The band has also seen a huge response from fans after completing their tremendous headlining tour this summer. Now the band is gearing up for 2011 and that means one thing, more touring! NEVERMORE is excited to announce two spectacular tours already planned for this year. One finds the band alongside Symphony X and Soilwork - a tour that has already turned many hands as one of the standouts of the new year. The second finds these icons of metal joining forces with one of South America's finest exports, SEPULTURA, on a tour that could easily be called a clash of the titans.
