The Politics of Ecstasy is the second full-length studio album by Thrash/Power 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. There is a spoken word sample in the track "Next In Line" from the Adrian Lyne movie, Jacob's Ladder. All lyrics written by Warrel Dane; all music composed by Jeff Loomis.

The Politics of Ecstasy is the second full length release by Nevermore. This would be the last album to feature rhthym guitarist Pat O'Brien, as he was recruited by Cannibal Corpse to record Gallery of Suicide. O'Brien's death metal background contributes to making this one of the heaviest albums out there. One question you might ask about this album is "What makes this so special" It can't be classic. First, this is the album that Nevermore really captured their true sound. Nevermore albums are usually difficult to digest upon first listen due to the fact that there is always so much going on. However, The Politics of Ecstasy features a few songs that are relatively easy to groove on, and I would say these are: The Seven Tongues of God, Next In Line, and the Tianenmen Man. Let me put it this way, if Nevermore had a best-of album, those three would probably make an appearance on it.

Complete your Nevermore collection. Does everyone's LP have the same (Side A) labels on both sides of the record?

The Politics of Ecstasy (1996) by Nevermore. Labels: Century Media Records. Genres: Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal Members: Warrel Dane, Jeff Loomis, Pat O'Brien, Jim Sheppard, Van Williams. Nevermore - kapela, ktorá vznikla po rozpade inej kvalitnej skupiny: Sanctuary. Druhé album " The Politics of Ecstasy" je jedným z najlepších albumov nie len v roku 1996, ale aj celkovom metalovej scény. Zvuk albumu je krásne tvrdý, pritom čitateľný pre všetky nástroje. týl na albume je prevažne Power Metal, avšak piesne čerpajú aj z Thrashu, Prog. a Groove Metalu, dokonca občas idú až do doom -u (pieseň Passenger).

The Politics of Ecstasy. Power Metal Nevermore (USA-1). Список групп Power Metal Nevermore (USA-1) The Politics of Ecstasy. Band Name Nevermore (USA-1). 5. The Politics of Ecstasy. 7. Tiananmen Man. 8. Precognition. Another aspect of this album that places it head and shoulders above the rest is balance. In the midst of the chaos that is The Politics of Ecstasy, Nevermore found the perfect niche for a power ballad, The Passenger, and a brief instrumental, Precognition. The latter displays more emotion and taste within its short two-minute length than most albums. A perfect example of Dane's awe-inspiring lyrics would most likely be The Tiananmen Man.
