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 new found 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."

I will have to check this out. Sounds good....

Yes! Can't wait!

Warrel put up Crystal Ship on his MySpace for an hour today. It was very similar to Chances Three. He said on his Twitter that he'll be putting it back up at random times throughout the weekend. So if you're curious, keep an eye (ear?) out.
