Nevermore cancel their appearance at ProgPower USA due to visa issues
Unfortunately, there have been some related paperwork issues with Nevermore‘s recently gathered international lineup, as per theprp. A few new members joined the resurrected progressive metal band in February of last year. Vocalist Berzan Önen (Inner Urge, My Torment, etc.), guitarist Jack Cattoi, and bassist Semir Özerka (Oceans of Slumber, Necrofier, etc.) joined the band, which was led by drummer Van Williams and guitarist Jeff Loomis. According to a statement released by the group on March 27th, they have had to cancel their participation in this September’s “ProgPower USA” festival due to difficulties getting the required work permits for some of their new members to play in the United States.
MESSAGE FOR OUR US FANS
We hear your requests for a US tour loud and clear, and we want it to happen just as much as you do. The reason it hasn’t yet is simple – getting the work permit for our singer is taking much longer than anticipated. We’ll get it done, but unfortunately we aren’t quite there yet.
Sadly, it also means that we won’t be able to perform at ProgPower USA this year.
Sincere apologies to Glenn, the ProgPower USA crew and our US fans, and thanks for understanding.
New music is forthcoming, and we’ll finally be back on stages in the states performing it live in 2027. We owe it to all of you and promise we’ll make it worth the wait.
In light of all of this, we are actively booking more international shows for later this year. Announcements for those will happen soon.
