'The Obsidian Conspiracy'

BraveWords.com has also previewed the album and offers up the following early/brief synopsis: "Call it The Politics Of Ecstasy meets Dead Heart In A Dead World's heavier material like the title track and 'Narcosynthesis', with some of Warrel's solo album tossed in on the track 'The Blue Marble And The New Soul'. And the title track of the new record? Classic Loomis/Williams shred fest."

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.
