Warrel Dane

Warrel Dane (born March 7, 1969) is the singer of the progressive metal band Nevermore. He was also formerly the singer, in the 1980s, of the bands Sanctuary and Serpent's Knight. Dane trained for five years as an opera singer, and uses a very wide vocal range, going from low to very high notes. His use of very high notes was more prominent in Sanctuary and Serpent's Knight, but is still used in Nevermore. Warrel, along with bassist Jim Sheppard, is a certified chef and former owner of a restaurant in Seattle. In June 2007, Blabbermouth.net reported that Dane was going to enter the studio in early August to record his first solo album, tentatively scheduled for release in early 2008. Former Soilwork guitarist Peter Wichers is said to be involved in the songwriting and production.
