Thunderous doom metal / sludge trio CONAN have released a vinyl repressing of their previously sold out acclaimed albums Horseback Battle Hammer and Blood Eagle.

“We’re so happy to get Horseback Battle Hammer and Blood Eagle out there again. Both are long sold out, and often pop up in people’s ‘favourite Conan album’ lists, so it’s fun to let some new people discover them again.”

CONAN hail from the grim Northwest of England. Three men bear the wretched burden of this abyssal, droning, charging heaviness. Through yawning chasms and bleak devastated battlefields, they deliver riffs and tone so grim and so thick that the Gods turn away, to avoid suffocating under the band’s unearthly delivery.
 
Since 2007 and their early demo Battle In The Swamp CONAN have taken their place at the very forefront of heavy music in the UK and indeed the world. Sharing the stage with bands such as SLEEP, ACID KING, FU MANCHU, PENTAGRAM, BONGRIPPER and HIGH ON FIRE they have toured worldwide and currently have tours of Europe, the USA and Australia under their belts. Guests of top festivals such as Hellfest, Roadburn, Motocultor, Desertfest, Maryland Deathfest and Psycho Las Vegas and Psycho California, CONAN have earned the right be held in high regard with the very best.

Expect rampaging, galloping, relentless fuzz and galloping crust. No escape, no rest. CONAN released the new album, Evidence of Immortality, in August 2022, on Napalm Records. This is a follow up to their acclaimed release Existential Void Guardian from 2018.

Bow down and hail CONAN, as England’s doom metal masters strike back again: Following their much acclaimed 2018 full-length, Existential Void Guardian, and their Live at Freak Valley record released just last year, the trio’s fifth studio album, Evidence of Immortality, is out now on Napalm Records!

CONAN’s new magnum opus overruns you like a steamroller. The British kings of brutally heavy slowness push their down-tuned axes and cranked pedals to the limit, crushing ears and minds when huge, rumbling chords and malevolent riffs muscle their way in over lances of infinite distortion and drums that pummel and thunder like the hands of a god against the gates of hell. As previously released album singles proved, CONAN are the masters of their craft, while Jon Davis spits his lyrics over the uber-synchronized power chord changes and tempo shifts of the unholy trio of bass, drums and guitar.

To celebrate their new album in style, today, CONAN have shared a colossal new single, “Ritual Of Anonymity”, alongside a lyric video.

Says Jon Paul Davis:
““Hey everyone, this is Jon. So, the album is out and soon to be in your hands, and then your ears. We are excited for you hear what we have created, so set some time aside, turn this up and enjoy. We also created a third video, this time for ‘Ritual of Anonymity’. 

KILL KILL KILL.”

Evidence of Immortality was produced by Chris Fielding and mastered by James Plotkin. The album also sees former band member Dave Perry perform on the track “Grief Sequence”. The album’s artwork was provided by the skilled hand and mind of Tony Roberts, architect of the CONAN visual style since day one and their debut release, Horseback Battle Hammer.

“Evidence of Immortality was written between December 2019 and late 2021. As such, it has absorbed a lot of the emotions that were flowing through our lives then,” Davis explains. “The lyrics were written on the eve of the war in Ukraine so, naturally, they deal with subjects such as victory and defeat, loss and hope, pain and determination, fear and hatred. Movies such as Conquest, Lord of The Rings, Fire and Ice, Krull, Beast Master and Clash of The Titans once again provided inspiration for the themes of the songs, as we maintain our determination to not write about real world events. You want to escape? Throw this record on, turn the lights off and turn it up until your fucking ears bleed.”

Following their previously released first album single “Levitation Hoax”, today the band has unleashed a brand new, colossal track and music video! “Righteous Alliance” emphasizes that CONAN are the masters of their craft, while Jon Davis spits his lyrics over the uber-synchronized power chord changes and tempo shifts of the unholy trio of bass, drums and guitar.

“‘Righteous Alliance‘ is another track that we have been playing live,“ guitarist and singer Jon Davis comments. “It is all about war, and the hopelessness of it. However, a hero is coming and just as death is imminent, an unflinching saviour enters the fray and the day is saved, for now.

We were keen to include some fan footage from over the years, thankfully they came through so thanks to everyone for being a part of it.”

England’s doom metal masters CONAN strike back again! Following their much acclaimed 2018 full-length, Existential Void Guardian, and their Live at Freak Valley record released just last year, the trio has announced the release of their fifth studio album, entitled Evidence of Immortality, due out on August 19, 2022 via Napalm Records.

As first album single proves, on their upcoming magnum opus, the British kings of brutally heavy slowness push their down-tuned axes and cranked pedals to the limit, crushing ears and minds when huge, rumbling chords and malevolent riffs muscle their way in over lances of infinite distortion and drums that pummel and thunder like the hands of a god against the gates of hell.

First single “Levitation Hoax” showcases CONAN’s trademark sound combined with fast-paced riffage and a pounding groove in epic doom metal grandeur, before dragging you deep into a black hole, as you scream in silence.

“‘Levitation Hoax’ grew from a riff that was created in December 2019, when we were on tour with Cavalera Conspiracy”, guitarist and singer Jon Davis comments. “The song begins as a thrash metal onslaught and just gets heavier and heavier as it progresses. It was a fun track to write, and has some of my favourite lyrics from the album.”

“Evidence of Immortality was written between December 2019 and late 2021. As such, it has absorbed a lot of the emotions that were flowing through our lives then,” Davis continues. “The lyrics were written on the eve of the war in Ukraine so, naturally, they deal with subjects such as victory and defeat, loss and hope, pain and determination, fear and hatred.

The masters of fantastical, otherworldly, sludgy doom metal, CONAN, are back to celebrate Halloween with a gruesome animated music video for their charging track “Paincantation”, proudly presenting a cinematic monster resulting from 18 months of the finest-tuned animation. Their newest visual was created by award winning animation director Nicos Livesey who has directed music videos for bands like Iron Maiden and Gorillaz and worked with brands like Adidas. The video manages to perfectly capture the brutal spirit of CONAN’s heavily distorted and down-tuned sound, providing a carnage as bloody visually as it is musically in just 76 seconds. The video arrives only mere days before the start of their upcoming UK Tour, beginning in November!
 
“Paincantation” was originally featured on CONAN’s latest effort of gargantuan heaviness, Existential Void Guardian (2018). Within seconds, “Paincantation” unfolds a blustering frenzy of uncontrollable blasts and piercing screams. Nobody can escape this brutal sonic amalgamation of intensity! Hail Supreme Doom! Hail CONAN!

CONAN on the new video:
“‘Paincantion’ is a tale of inter dimensional travel, where immortal warriors travel undetected to carry out acts of aggression. This video captures the mood perfectly.”

Check out the new music video for “Paincantation” below.

This relentlessly heavy, constantly charging amalgamation of intensity rages from the first to the last second. HAIL CONAN!

CONAN states:
“‘Battle In The Swamp’ is one of our earliest songs, appearing on the first demo tape we recorded back in 2007. It is simple and to the point, and always starts a pit. Enjoy.”
