“The Obsidian Conspiracy” is NEVERMORE’s biggest creative breakthrough.

Still largely without peer fifteen years on from their debut, Nevermore continue to crush everything in their path while still honouring melody and mood above all. […] …it's thrilling to observe them edge ever closer to perfection.

The art of blending heaviness and emotive catchiness to equal parts: that's the peerless “The Obsidian Conspiracy”

Definitely an album for the year end lists, if not the best album of 2010!

A real atomic bomb; strong, hard, elaborate and with an enormous variety of elements.

“The Obsidian Conspiracy” is the album we needed from NEVERMORE, another fantastic moment in their discography, in a time of their career where they have nothing else to prove.
