Neverstar is a symphonic metal band from Hertford, UK. Their sound combines orchestral grandeur with heavy metal power in the symphonic metal tradition.
Founded by multi-instrumentalist Higor Hoenig, Neverwinter pairs his layered orchestral production with the expressive soprano vocals of Fernanda Zys, whose lyrics draw from 19th century literature and explore themes of fear and pain.

The band produces everything independently out of their home studio in Paraná.
