March 25, 2010, 14 years ago
One always says that you can’t rush greatness or perfection, and this couldn’t be more true in the case of metal titans NEVERMORE, who last released This Godless Endeavor in 2005. The Seattle quartet have returned with the new full-length release, The Obsidian Conspiracy, which is what could be their most impressive offering of their illustrious decade plus, heralded career.
The Obsidian Conspiracy was recorded with renowned producer Peter Wichers (who previously worked with vocalist Warrel Dane on his solo debut Praises To The War Machine). Longtime friend and collaborator Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, ARCH ENEMY) once again handled mixing and mastering duties. The album is set for June 8th North American release and May 31st European release.
The captivating and dynamic cover art was once again created by the great Travis Smith (OPETH, KATATONE) and can be viewed now in the YouTube clip below.
