Nevermore was singer Warrel Dane and bassist Jim Sheppard's first release after the break with their previous band - Sanctuary - in 1994. Having recruited drummer Van Williams and former Sanctuary touring guitarist Jeff Loomis, they formed the band Nevermore and began working on this, their eponymous debut.
This was Nevermore's first and only album to feature original drummer Mark Arrington, although he is not credited as the drummer on the album. He did play the majority of the tracks, however.

The Politics of Ecstasy is the second full length album by progressive metal band Nevermore. It was released in 1996. The album is named after Timothy Leary's book of the same name. The first chapter of that book is entitled "The Seven Tongues of God", which is the title of the first song on the album. This album is considered to be Nevermore's most progressive album, while still containing elements that define their sound.

Dreaming Neon Black is the third full-length album released by Seattle progressive metal band Nevermore, and was released through Century Media in 1999. Unlike its predecessor, The Politics of Ecstasy, this album is very emotional and contains many slower, ballad-type songs. It is also notable that Dreaming Neon Black is a concept album of sorts, telling the tale of a man's slow plunge into insanity following the death of his girlfriend, which may be based on an event in the life of Nevermore's lead singer, Warrel Dane. Supposedly, Dane's old girlfriend left him when she joined a religious cult and was never heard from again, and he began having nightmares of her crying out to him as she drowned. This has been confirmed by Warrel himself in an older interview. The spoken word samples from the tracks "Ophidian" and "Forever" is from the Clive Barker movie, Lord of Illusions. Clocking in at 65 minutes and 59 seconds, it is the longest Nevermore album to date, next to the album that came before it, The Politics of Ecstasy (62:24).

Enemies of Reality is progressive metal band Nevermore's fifth album released in 2003 by Century Media records. A special limited edition was also released, with a black jewel case and a bonus DVD. It contains intense neo-classical guitar solos by guitarist Jeff Loomis. The worms on the album cover are a direct reference to the lyrics of the title track, "Enemies of Reality", in which Warrel Dane sings, "Open wide and eat the worms of the enemy." There are other lyric-inspired images in the booklet, namely an open hand holding a glowing sun (taken from "Ambivalent," where the lyrics say "The sun in my hand becomes my despair"). At the beginning of the song there is message played backwards that repeats the pre-chorus "we are the useless by-product of souless meat".
This album is infamous for its widely-disliked production by Kelly Gray. Many fans felt that the mix was inferior to that of previous albums and did not do the band or its music justice; specifically, various complaints noted flat drums, distant vocals, and a lack of "punch" to the bass, and the guitars sounding very modern nu metal. In 2005 the album was remixed by Andy Sneap, who produced Nevermore's Dead Heart in a Dead World and This Godless Endeavor. The new mix was received pleasantly and gained the album a new level of respect and praise.
At the end of the CD booklet is a dedication to the late Death frontman Chuck Schuldiner, which reads: "This record is dedicated to Chuck. Let the metal flow into eternity..."

This Godless Endeavor is progressive metal band Nevermore's sixth album, and was released on July 26, 2005. The album was produced by Andy Sneap and is distributed by Century Media Records.
History
One might note that the track "A Future Uncertain" has very similar lyrics to the track "World Unborn" from their 1992 demos, although the music is completely different.
In the middle of the song "Sentient 6" there is a message played backwards that says "I am the bringer of the end, fear me, I am the beast that is technology." "Sentient 6" refers to a robot or an android that has been programmed to annihilate humankind, but actually envies humanity for their possession of emotion and a soul. The content is paradoxical and written from the perspective of the machine. The song also picks up lyrically where "The Learning" left off in The Politics of Ecstasy. In addition, it seems to have many parallels with the story of V'ger from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Guitarist Jeff Loomis revealed in an interview that This Godless Endeavor is not a concept album, but a "topic-to-topic" album, with all the songs dealing with "real life issues" that can " allegorically refer to the loss of identity, the system that we roove in, the meaning of life, the denouncement of God as a solution to all the problems that are caused by the conflicts that all the religions have initiated in various parts of the world. It's basically about human beings."
This album was ranked number 88 on the October 2006 issue of Guitar World magazine's list of the greatest 100 guitar albums of all time.
