Conan announce new album ‘Evidence Of Immortality’
CONAN have announced a new album!
Titled Evidence Of Immortality, the upcoming album from the English doom metal band is the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Existential Void Guardian and last year’s Live At Freak Valley, and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Napalm Records.
The upcoming album 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 and features album’s artwork by 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,” guitarist/vocalist Jon Davis says. “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.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, CONAN have released a new music video for the first song lifted from the upcoming album; Levitation Hoax. “Levitation Hoax grew from a riff that was created in December 2019, when we were on tour with CAVALERA CONSPIRACY,” Davis comments about the new song. “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.”
