I really like Nevermore. Politics and Dreaming Neon Black are my favs. I saw them live in a club in Albuquerque, NM with Iced Earth. My friends and I were right up front for the whole concert; one of the best shows I've ever seen, actually. I met Jeff Loomis right before they played and actually hung out with him at the bar and bought him a shot and a beer, and I got to meet Iced Earth outside in the back parking lot afterwards. That's what's great about bands playing the smaller clubs as opposed to big arenas; much more intimate settings.
I haven't heard too much from SYL but what I have heard is pretty cool. Derek Townsend has a crazy voice. They do a cover of Exicter on the Judas Priest tribute album (Nevermore does a cover of Love Bites), and Townsend sings on the Rush tribute album as well.
