How does a band top a masterpiece? For example, they change a lot. South of Heaven after Reign in Blood felt shockingly slow and heavy. Or they try to copy their best release, with mixed results: see Enslaved's Ruun or Testament's New Order. Another way to tackle the post-masterpiece syndrome is what Nevermore did - and let me tell you in advance that they did it beautifully - you take what you did best and eliminate the elements that weren't perfect. Assuming that it's done by a band as talented as Nevermore, the final product must be at least outstanding. Or even brilliant, and I'm happy to announce to you dear readers, that brilliant is what The Obsidian Conspiracy is.
It's shame to admit, but this is first album I actually heard from Nevermore, I knew there was such band as Nevermore, but never paid attention to it. As a guy, who has not heard their previous stuff, I can tell, that this album was really, really good!:banger2:
The album is starting to grow on me with each listen. I still dont think that it is better than any of the previous albums though. But I still can not stand the song Your Poison Throne.
