NEVERMORE frontman Warrel Dane will release his debut solo album, "Praise to the War Machine", on April 28 in Europe and May 13 in North America via Century Media Records. Former SOILWORK guitarist Peter Wichers recently completed mixing the CD at a studio in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. "The album sounds amazing and I am really proud of the songs on this one," said Wichers, who co-wrote most of the material on the LP with Dane.
Songtitles set to appear on "Praise to the War Machine" include:
01. When We Pray
02. Messenger (featuring Jeff Loomis)
03. Obey
04. Lucretia My Reflection (THE SISTERS OF MERCY cover)
05. Let You Down (featuring Chris Broderick)
06. August
07. Your Chosen Misery
08. Praise To The Warmachine (featuring James Murphy)
09. Brother
10. Patterns (PAUL SIMON cover)
11. This Old Man
12. Aeon
In a September 2006 interview with Metal-Rules.com, Dane stated about the upcoming solo CD, "I've been working on it for like the last year off and on, just writing songs with Peter Wichers, and at some point we'll finish them then go in the studio . . . It doesn't sound like NEVERMORE, and I think, you know, if it did, there wouldn't be much point in doing a side project. If it sounded like NEVERMORE I think it would be a little redundant . . . Of course it's metal! Kind of like metal-infused hard rock, I think. It's different and it's a chance for me to explore myself — explore myself in other ways! [laughs] Well, for me, and for Peter from SOILWORK as well, it was kind of a chance for us both to 'step outside the box,' because people expect a certain thing from both those bands and with this we don't have to fulfill any expectations. We can do whatever we want."
