Nevertel * Start Again [New LP]

Nevertel, are set to release their Epitaph Records debut album, entitled Start Again.The Florida-based trio-comprised of vocalist Jeremy Michael, rapper/guitarist/producer Raul Lopez, and guitarist Alec Davis-are a rare breed in an era saturated with genre tags and algorithm-chasing playlists. Drawing on a cocktail of nu-metal nostalgia, hip-hop grit, and EDM adrenaline, their sound feels less like a blend and more like a carefully controlled detonation. It's a vision honed through years of DIY hustle and an unshakable commitment to quality over trend.Bonded in adolescence over music and late-night gaming sessions, the trio turned those formative obsessions into a full-fledged project that has steadily built a digital groundswell. From self-releasing two full-length albums and a pair of EPs to amassing over 1.5 million streams per week, Nevertel's trajectory reflects a slow burn in a culture obsessed with instant virality.Citing touchstones like Linkin Park and Bring Me The Horizon, the band pays homage to the titans of their youth while shaping something unmistakably their own: emotionally raw lyricism, razor-edged riffs and breakdowns. It's equal parts catharsis and chaos.Now signed to Epitaph Records as of 2023, Nevertel are poised to enter their next chapter with momentum at their backs. This May, they'll be joining Sleep Theory, (these label mates have a collab track on this new album) -a fitting pairing for a band whose music thrives in the tension between vulnerability and volatility.
