Seattle metallers Nevermore have finished recording their new album, "The Obsidian Conspiracy", for an early 2010 release via Century Media Records.
The drum tracks for "The Obsidian Conspiracy" were completed in the group's hometown of Seattle with Soilwork guitarist Peter Wichers, who previously worked with Nevermore's Warrel Dane on the singer's solo debut, "Praises To The War Machine". Longtime friend and collaborator Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Exodus, Machine Head) will once again be handling mixing duties.
The following songs (among others) were laid down during the recording sessions for the follow-up to 2005's "
This Godless Endeavor":
Emptiness Unobstructed
Without Morals
And The Maiden Spoke
Termination Proclamation
The Obsidian Conspiracy
The Blue Marble and the New Soul
She Comes in Colors
The Day You Built The Wall
Poison Throne
Beautiful Mistake
Crystal Ship (The Doors cover)
Transmission (The Tea Party cover)
According to Dane, the song "And The Maiden Spoke" "is going to blow your minds; it's twisted, progressive lunatic fringe riffing with vicious hooklines."
He added: "These songs are full of newfound rage, lyrically and musically. Jeff Loomis has come up with some amazing new riffs that will no doubt please old and new fans alike. Also, I think the combination of Peter and Andy will result in something very, very special."
