Caveman Battle Doom... CONAN Live 1/22/12, Plus New Track Streaming / Download ...

Conan are one of England's best kept metal secrets right now. The Liverpool trio have been hammering out some of the slowest and heaviest doom to fall off Crom's anvil since the release of their 2007 EP 'Battle In The Swamp' and they didn't start to garner international attention until 2010's 'Horseback Battle Hammer'. Their mammoth, wall of sound approach to songwriting brings to mind such west coast acts as Earth and Samothrace and the depth of some of their tracks is akin to certain sections of 'Dopesmoker' in terms of their effectiveness in transporting the listener from point A to point B in just under six to ten minutes. This past year they released a split with the Irish sludge group Slomatics on Head Of Crom records and the three Conan tracks on that split show a lot of promise for what's in store from this band in the year to come. They have already been selected by Voivod to play the Friday show of this year's upcoming Roadburn festival and are planing a European tour with Slomatics which should take them from to Finland to Ireland throughout the summer and fall. They also have an album due out in March on Burning World records but in the meantime have a listen to and enjoy a free download of their most recent live performance in England on January 22nd. This has got to be the best live doom recording of the year so far!
