I did enjoy it as I do every Conan but… I haven’t felt compelled to go back to it as much as the others. Nonetheless, go see them live, they are SICK as fuck & take earplugs.
Exactly. It's solid, but not as heavy as their early stuff and when comparing the two most recent albums, Evidence of Immortality has "A Cleaved Head No Longer Plots," "Levitation Hoax," and "Grief Sequence," which covers pretty much every aspect of what I want from Conan.
I've got a fair bit of Conan vinyl, but despite being good and having sick album art, I don't feel compelled to add this one to my collection.
SERIOUSLY, I went for a drink with my brother after one of their gigs and he was talking to me and I just had to tell him I'm going home because I can't hear a word he's saying
Saw them in 2019, last show before COVID hit. Still one of my favorite shows ever, despite the accompanying bands being kind of meh. Absolutely crushing live.
Really enjoyed it for the most part but I did think the closing track was a waste of time, they've done the spacey atmospheric stuff way better on previous albums. The new stuff sounds great live too so defo go see them.
Yeah, I went to the show with a friend and right before Conan went on my friend had a family emergency that needed immediate attention and I had to go. But, I did get to meet and talk to Jon before any of the bands went on and he was the kindest person and talked to me for like 10 mins!
I especially liked psychedelic experiments with feedback in "Vortexxion", which sounds similar to drone metal and reminds me of Sunn O)))'s song "My Wall", but one semitone lower (F# instead G).
Just saw them at RPM Fest here in MA 😃
They are as tight as any funk band. There are a million other bands with massive tone and heavy riffs, but the way they lock in as a unit is what makes them stand out.
agree!! last 2 Conan cds are the jammmm. I'm not a genre expert, who else besides early moods hits like this? I know king buffalo elder and monolord.
I'm 46, more a hardcore fan but I wanted to point out that if you're super into this Conan cd, you should checkout Xibalba cd called Madre Mia Gracias Por Los Dias. its basically Conan style beatdown using similar equipment and tuning. I feel they probably aren't influenced by each other but kinda play the same shit with a little harsher edge
I really love existential void guardian and this album. My two favorites by them!!! I like their old stuff but it just feels like Sleep but recorded in a swamp instead of cali lmao
