Limited red colored vinyl LP pressing. 2025 release. Conan's doom is singular. Carved of granite. Yes, of course there've been changes since guitarist/vocalist Jon Davis founded the group in 2006, but the intention at the time toward superlative heavy - tonal extremity wrought with impressionist lyrics stripping ideas to the core where sometimes the whole line is just one word; they've always called it "Caveman Battle Doom" - remains at the root of everything they've done since. And across five studio records in the decade from 2012-2022, Conan have set the standard by which much of "heavy" anything is judged. And in comparison, most is found wanting. In 2024, Conan sign to Heavy Psych Sounds as a recognized name and one of the foremost acts of their generation, wildly influential in their home country of the UK and well beyond; headliners in practice and theory alike. Their fifth LP, 2022's 'Evidence of Immortality,' brought a dark ambience to coincide with it's outright attack. With experiments in darkwave and synth adding breadth to the stated root purpose of aural force, it's never been harder to guess where the next few years might take their sound, but whatever's coming, Conan will make it kill. The better part of two decades later, their reliability remains unshakable. Which you want when your band is so heavy that the floor and your ribcage both start to vibrate.
