“Neverafter” is the debut solo album by Andy Gillion (lead Guitarist/ songwriter for Mors Principium Est).
It features appearances from Jeff Loomis, Paul Wardingham, guest vocals from Christina Marie and drums are performed throughout by 66Samus (Samus Paulicelli).
The album was co-produced, mixed and mastered by Thomas “Plec” Johansson at “The Panic Room”, Sweden (Soilwork, Scar Symmetry).
“Neverafter” is a predominantly instrumental concept album comprised of symphonic, progressive and melodic death metal elements. To the backdrop of an enchanting orchestral metal soundscape, the music tells the story of a young girl, Aria, and her journey through a dreamworld as she searches for resolution after the tragic loss of her mother. A music box – all that is left of her mother’s possessions – fails to sound ever since that fateful day. Its melody, all but forgotten, haunts Aria’s dreams and into a deep sleep she enters, in search of that faithful sound, so that she may remember happiness once again – and once again be free.
