Radio Metal has released an interview with NEVERMORE frontman Warrel Dane. The following is an excerpt:

Q: This Godless Endeavor was complex with a progressive edge. The new album, The Obsidian Conspiracy, sounds much more straight forward. Do you think it wouldn’t have been such a good idea to go further in the complexity? And as a matter of fact, do you think you’ve reached a certain limit with This Godless Endeavor?

A: "I don’t know if we reached a limit. But I think that in our career so far, we’ve been lucky that we have not really repeated ourselves. Every record that we’ve done sounds completely different from the other ones. Who knows, maybe next time we’re gonna decide that this new album is gonna be so fucking complex and ridiculously progressive! We never know, but then again, we never decide to do things like that anyway!"
