The wait is finally over as Seattle's metal titans NEVERMORE are back and truly better than ever with the much anticipated new full-length release, The Obsidian Conspiracy, which is what could be their most impressive offering of their illustrious decade plus, heralded career.The release also marks a very impressive milestone as it debuted at #125 on the Billboard Top 200 charts and #1 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. This is their highest charting debut ever and just further proves the band's massive influence and stature within the metal genre. The disc also debuted at #88 on the Canadian Billboard chart.
Dane states: “We are so lucky to have such amazing and diehard fans and we can't thank them all enough for going out the first week of release to support us while helping us achieve the highest Billboard chart entry of our career. It's an amazing feeling to see such impressive sales in this ever changing retail climate and this is just the beginning for us as we're planning on touring the world extensively to support this release. We are taking off to Europe tomorrow but will be travelling around all of North America this fall playing our most extensive headlining set ever, so be sure to come out and hang with us. We promise that it will be a night you will never forget. Thanks again for all of the support and see you all soon”

Dane further states: “Working with director Nigel Crane was a great experience. We spent a day walking around the white cliffs in Dover the day before the London show and we couldn't possibly be happier with the end result. The live part was shot at the O2 Academy Islington in London and we only performed the song twice that night so we had to make these takes count, so we went all out. It was pretty amazing that most of the audience knew all of the words even though we were a number of days away from the album's release. Thanks for checking this out and we hope you enjoy it.”
