Nevermore News

Seattle metallers NEVERMORE will enter the studio in August with producer (and SOILWORK guitarist) Peter Wichers (who previously worked with NEVERMORE vocalist Warrel Dane on Dane's solo debut, "Praises to the War Machine") to begin recording their long-awaited follow-up to 2005's "This Godless Endeavor", tentatively due in early 2010 via Century Media Records. Longtime friend and collaborator Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, ARCH ENEMY, EXODUS, MACHINE HEAD) will once again be handling mixing duties.

Commented Dane: "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."

Songtitles set to appear on the CD include "Emptiness Unobstructed" and "Without Morals".

NEVERMORE's "The Year Of The Voyager" DVD last year entered the German DVD chart at position No. 82.

"The Year Of The Voyager" was released in North America on November 25, 2008 via Century Media. The set covers the "This Godless Endeavor" touring cycle, starting with amazing live footage from the U.S. Gigantour 2005, the Metal Mania festival 2006 in Poland, the Wacken Open Air festival in 2006 in Germany and the main DVD show recorded at the Zeche in Bochum, Germany on October 11, 2006. Bonus material includes two songs from Century Media USA 10th Anniversary Party 2001, all promo videos and an interview with singer Warrel Dane which was recorded at the Roax Film Studios in Berlin in the spring of 2008.

and blabber decided to edit our press release and leave out this portion ...fans can follow @warrel_dane on Twitter for updates on all that is The Obsidian Conspiracy
 
Ok, I guess we should nominate someone (Will) to check for updates and update us via here, because I'm not too hot on Twitter myself.
 
i didnt think nevermore would be around for a new album.

i was worried everyone may die of old age waiting for the dvd.
 
sad news concerning Wichers..I was expecting something new, something less cliché, this guys works well but exactly as everyone else in this swedish production, paper drums and 10 Krank amp guitar tracks, wow!! very personnal and imaginative production for Nevermore...

In context of the actual sound of the finished product, Wichers is pretty much irrelevant. Hence the Sneapster mixing it. ;)

Having WD's überawesome solo album in mind, makes me pretty confident, that he's the right guy to get great performances out of the old guys. Haha.

kind of hard to say that when he's just started with the whole production whatnot, isnt it?
 
I can't understand how someone does not like Andy Sneap's production. You listen to bands like Evergrey, Dream Theater, Firewind, etc and notice how their recordings are a complete mess, their older material sounds better than what they released lately. Sneap always brings a good sound, especially the drums.
