Dead Heart in a Dead World
Dead Heart in a Dead World is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Nevermore, released in October 2000. In a style comparable to a darker, heavier Queensrÿche, its songs range topics such as criticism of drug possession penalties to rejection of religion. The album also features a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's hit, "The Sound of Silence". It is also notable for being Nevermore's first record utilizing seven-string guitars. The album featured one single in the track "Believe in Nothing", which was covered by All That Remains on their 2008 album, Overcome. The song was also covered by Firewind in 2008, on the Century Media covers album "Covering 20 Years of Extremes". The bonus track Chances Three had been previously recorded under the title Three Chances in a 1990 demo by Sanctuary, as well as with its current title in the 1992 Nevermore demo entitled Utopia.
