Youth Valley’s cerberus is a haunting dive into emotional wreckage, balancing post punk grit with shoegaze haze. Swirling guitars and distant, reverb-heavy vocals create a suffocating yet oddly romantic atmosphere, echoing inner conflict and longing for redemption. The track’s raw honesty—enhanced by preserved studio chatter—adds a human fragility often lost in polished productions. Dark, moody, and unapologetically introspective, cerberus feels like standing at the edge of catharsis without ever quite reaching it.

A compelling glimpse into their upcoming LP, it solidifies Youth Valley’s ability to turn vulnerability into immersive sonic weight.

Though they announced their intention to play the ProgPower USA festival this September, Nevermore had to backtrack that announcement over the weekend because of bureaucratic bullshit. More specifically, U.S. work visa problems.

According to a post on the band’s Instagram page, their plan to come to the U.S. got the kibosh when they were unable to secure a work permit in time for their new vocalist Berzan Önen. Though Nevermore is a Seattle-based band, Önen is a Turkish citizen and as such is required to obtain a permit to work in the U.S. if Nevermore decides to tour this part of the world.

Though everyone else seemingly managed to get their visas, including Önen’s countryman and Nevermore bassist Semir Özerkan, for some reason the vocalist’s passage was taking longer than folks had hoped.

Rather than mince their words, here’s Nevermore’s official explanation:

“A MESSAGE FOR OUR US FANS

“We hear your requests for a US tour loud and clear, and we want it to happen just as much as you do. The reason it hasn’t yet is simple – getting the work permit for our singer is taking much longer than anticipated. We’ll get it done, but unfortunately we aren’t quite there yet.

“Sadly, it also means that we won’t be able to perform at ProgPower USA this year.

“Sincere apologies to Glenn, the ProgPower USA crew and our US fans, and thanks for understanding.

“New music is forthcoming, and we’ll finally be back on stages in the states performing it live in 2027. We owe it to all of you and promise we’ll make it worth the wait.

“In light of all of this, we are actively booking more international shows for later this year. Announcements for those will happen soon.”

This isn’t the first time a band has had to alter their touring plans thanks to the U.S. visa process. There have been numerous times in recent memory where bands either can’t get their visas processed in time or the costs became too expensive to make the trip viable. Either way, you hate to see something like this happen — especially when there’s so much hype for this new iteration of Nevermore.
