Ex-Nevermore guitarist, Jeff Loomis, who is currently playing in Arch Enemy gave an interview to Ultimate Guitar magazine where he revealed that a reunion is possible for the American band in the future. “I only have good things to say about everybody in the band and [drummer] Van Williams is one of my best friends. I still talk to Warrel [Dane, vocals] sometimes. He’s now doing Sanctuary again which is awesome.
“It was a really good 18 years that we had – an amazing run. Unfortunately things ended in a really bad, sour way. There was a lot of drinking going on in the band and I think that was the final nail in the coffin as to why the band actually broke up. It wasn’t a very good breakup at all. It was very difficult. When you spend 18 years together with a bunch of dudes, it’s kind of alike a marriage in a way, when something like that breaks up, it’s heartbreaking. It was a real bummer.
“Maybe one day, I would really like to be able to talk to Warrel again face to face and sit down and talk through all of our problems that we had and stuff like that. Time is a healer and life is short. So hopefully one of these days we will be able to sit down and talk out some of our differences, just as friends, even. That would be great.
“But at the moment, everybody is doing something else and that’s great, bless them for whatever they want to do. I’m in Arch Enemy now and I guess the chapter is closed for Nevermore for now and another chapter has opened up in my life. I’ll never say no to anything – I’ll always give something a shot. And if the timing is right, maybe one day we’ll do a couple more songs or maybe an album even, who knows? It’s quite possible”, said Loomis.
