SUMMARY:Conan @ Assembly
DESCRIPTION:Conan’s doom is singular. Carved of granite. Yes\, of course 
 there’ve been changes since guitarist/vocalist Jon Davis founded the gro
 up in 2006\, but the intention at the time toward superlative heavy – to
 nal extremity wrought with impressionist lyrics stripping ideas to the cor
 e where sometimes the whole line is just one word\; they’ve always calle
 d it “Caveman Battle Doom” – remains at the root of everything they
 ’ve done since. And across five studio records in the decade from 2012-2
 022\, Conan have set the standard by which much of “heavy” anything is
  judged. And in comparison\, most is found wanting.\n\nBut for every time 
 you’ve heard about Conan’s music being like galloping steeds or frost-
 covered sharp-peaked mountains\, etc.\, imagery of largesse and violence\,
  the truth is Conan are an exercise in frequency. It’s the low resonance
  that shakes your chest\, the depth of the bass – now handled by David R
 yley (ex-Fudge Tunnel) – the push of air from Johnny King’s kick drum\
 , or the way the dark-fuzz distortion of Davis’ guitar is offset by shou
 ting vocals cutting through that sometimes punishing onslaught\, rarely to
  offer comfort so much as add viciousness to the crash\, plod and pillage.
 \n\nIn 2024\, Conan sign to Heavy Psych Sounds as a recognized name and on
 e of the foremost acts of their generation\, wildly influential in their h
 ome 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 its outright attack. With experiments in d
 arkwave 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 t
 heir sound\, but whatever’s coming\, Conan will make it kill. The better
  part of two decades later\, their reliability remains unshakable. Which y
 ou want when your band is so heavy that the floor and your ribcage both st
 art to vibrate.
