Dane's debut solo album, "Praises to the War Machine" (2008),sold 1,100 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Dane, who first shattered the boundaries of conventionality with the legendary SANCTUARY and NEVERMORE, proved that he was one of metal's most diverse frontmen with this solo effort as he unleashed a barrage of introspective and personal lyrics that were heartfelt and extremely powerful. All of this emotion backed with his soaring angelic and dynamic vocals provides all of the necessary elements for a savagely captivating, melodic assault that quickly hooked you in.

NEVERMORE recently finished recording its 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) is once again handling mixing duties.
