In a recent interview for SOILWORK's latest album, The Panic Broadcast, guitarist Peter Wichers discussed his work behind the board for NEVERMORE's critically acclaimed new record, The Obsidian Conspiracy:
“The Obsidian Conspiracy was a great opportunity for me and I really enjoyed working with them,” says Wichers. “I didn’t know too much about them other than what I saw on Headbanger’s Ball when I was a teenager, but then we toured with them for A Predator’s Portrait. We learned so much from those guys and we stayed in touch, and the whole Nevermore thing came about because of Warrel’s solo record. I got involved with it, he asked me to write for it and was really happy with the end result, so I guess from that they decided to give me a shot with the new Nevermore record.”"I think that if there’s something Dead Heart In A Dead World Had that the other albums may have lacked, it’s the song structures. I really like the song structures on Dead Heart, and that’s one of the key reasons I really got into that record. All the songs were built with a certain format. I think that most of the time when we were doing the drums we were working on the arrangements, making sure the songs were to the point. There’s really no filler on The Obsidian Conspiracy and that was a big deal for me going into it; making sure that every song hit home.”
