Nevermore’s music has always had a profound impact on me, with a special emphasis on The Sorrowed Man, one of the most remarkable tracks from their In Memory EP from 1996. While this lyrical piece, with its depth and atmosphere, might not entirely stand out from the band’s classic themes – given that Nevermore’s timeless legacy includes numerous heavy and atmospheric tracks – The Sorrowed Man offers a unique contrast to the 90% of their repertoire that is rooted in progressive and power metal intensity. As one of my favorite bands, I’ve long wanted to pay homage to their work with my own interpretation.
Finally, the moment has arrived. Together with the amazing French vocalist, Ana Lyr, we’ve created our own rendition of the song. Throughout the arrangement process, we aimed to preserve the original vibe while allowing Ana’s emotive vocals to add a uniquely intriguing layer to the track.
The video is now available on both of our YouTube channels. If you love Nevermore, or you’re just in the mood for some special atmospheric music, check it out and let us know what you think!
