Welcoming Nevermore's Semir Özerkan to M2 Labs

I've been a Nevermore fan for years, so when Semir reached out about working together, it was an easy yes. The first thing he made with us is something special. He wrote a song built around Alexi Laiho's signature guitar, and he ran both The Bomber and the Fuzzocalypse across the whole track, not just the guitar but the keyboards, vocals, and bass too.

That combination hits close to home for me. Alexi Laiho is the reason I picked up metal at all. I started out on classical guitar, and hearing him play is what made me want to plug in and chase a heavier sound. I've carried that with me ever since, and it's a big part of why M2 Labs exists.

So hearing a player like Semir put our pedals all over a song that traces back to the same place I started is genuinely one of the highlights of doing this.

Have a listen and let me know what you think.

Welcome to the family, Semir. Glad to have you!
