To album κυκλοφορεί από την Syborg Music και για το πως είναι ο νέα του δουλειά, διαβάστε το μήνυμα από τον ίδιο τον Paul Roland:

I am happy to say that the new album 'Nevermore' is now finished and has been delivered to my German label Syborg for release in May. Those who have been involved in the production tell me that it is, in their opinion, the best album I have recorded to date with a very strong selection of songs in a variety of styles from seafaring folk to psych pop and more whimsical fantasy this time inspired by Jules Verne as well Poe.
I am particularly proud of the three song suite 'The Last Voyage of the Nautillus' with its 'Wyndham Hill'-style opener concerning Captain Nemo and the instrumental passage which develops from that which I created in collaboration with Nico Steckelberg who also added the finishing touches or as we call it, 'the icing on the cake'. There are no formal string arrangements which characterised many of my albums in the past, but there are intricate and atmospheric embellishments to the more acoustic based tracks such as 'Eight Little Whores' (a street ballad about the victims of Jack The Ripper), 'Abramelin' (about a magician's apprentice) and the quirky 'Tell-Tale Heart' (with its Addams Family cartoon approach to Poe). There is only one outright rock track ('The Great Deceiver') and one pure psych pop item (the opener 'Edgar Allen Poe') plus one traditional folk ballad ('Sam Hall' about a hanging at Tyburn which I couldn't resist). So it is a real diverse mixture, especially when you add in a tongue in cheek tribute to 'Leatherface', the killer from 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre' movie and the aforementioned excursion into the world of the cinematic soundtrack for the Nautillus suite.
