That is what hits you first when listening to this album. The music groans and thunders away with an easy manner, and often achieves a good flowing quality which, if the band had considered it, could have linked several or even most of the songs on the album through ambient effects or maybe just a solo instrument. The vocals may sound thin and strained at times, and sometimes the drums don't quite match the guitars in power, but it's that grinding doom sound that takes pride of place, and which Conan themselves clearly understand drives the music and the worlds it creates. And it's really awesome. NausikaDalazBlindaz , December 28th, Pauses between the tracks stop this flow and it has to start all over again in the next track:

There's something astonishingly dense about this record; some credit is certainly due to the producer. That is what hits you first when listening to this album. It's a remarkably immersive way of spending 40 minutes though; it's quite remarkable how an album full of modern instrumentation etc.
Conan's first album "Monnos" fits the bill perfectly, as it turns out.

Blgospot are ones to watch — they pursue their doom with a lot of character, individuality and passion. The guitar tone really defies belief; incredibly down tuned, really fuzzy yet still remarkably powerful.
And it's really awesome. Newer Post Older Post Home. Conan lie a fair bit further along this line of increasingly dense, unsettling doom offspring. Behold the coan level.
But here it is, and all herald its shape and shadow.
Blending amazing synth based riffs that brings back memories of a superb score from a classic John Carpenter film. NausikaDalazBlindazDecember 28th, That part where Hawk and Weapon breaks from it's slumber and begins it's lumbering gallop is truly glorious to behold! There's something about this record that makes me want to do a huge amount of lifting and find a desert cliff to live on.

This is what doom should sound like! The harder it is to write a review while the album you're reviewing's playing, the better the album is, arguably. While not quite as massive as the frankly ridiculous Horseback Battle Hammer EP that started connan guys off, this is still quite astounding, and still one of the most sonically massive I've ever heard and ever will hear.
The band have picked a suitable name for their type of extremely heavy doom; this is metal for battles and bloodshed, but thankfully there are no orchestrations, choirs or accordions to be heard here. This is an album that both myself and Phil wholeheartedly recommend without any hesitation at all.
In intense summer heat, there's nothing like listening to a massive heavy doom metal recording where the lyrics are sparse, almost primitive, and the fixation is on dumping out the thickest slabs of bass grind and guitar lava outflow, and the thumping loads of percussion to go with it, to while away the time.
There is something brutal, bleak and desperate in that sound, something that tells us of a post-industrial, post-apocalyptic world where people have to fight monnnos to survive. The vocals are of the clean variety, coming across almost like a chant or a yell.

It's everything on this album. The music groans and thunders away with an easy manner, and often achieves a good flowing quality which, if the band had considered it, could have linked several or even most of the songs on the album through ambient effects or maybe just a solo instrument.
Remember when you first put Dopethrone on, Vinum Sabbathi started and you thought it was really fuzzy, really dirty, just the doomiest, heaviest thing you'd ever heard? The vocals may sound thin and strained at times, and sometimes monnos drums don't quite match the guitars in power, monnoos it's that grinding doom sound that takes pride of place, and which Conan themselves clearly understand drives the music and the worlds it creates.
It's certainly a stoner doom album but the closest a stoner doom album could get to drone while retaining it's moniker.
Album ReviewsSteve Howe. Again this suits the battle-like ritual atmosphere of the album; doom is coming: They have been doing this for a long while and now its time for the world to open their eyes to CONAN.
The riffs certainly aren't bad but let's be honest here, this wouldn't work anywhere near as well if the guitars were tuned up a bit and the production was scaled back. Add top-notch vocals and what you have here is an amazing release by a superb band with a unique story to tell as well.
These guys throw in superb Psych Riffs through out their music to stand out from the crowd. It's such a tone-based album.
A stand-out track, if only because it has conna solo drum tapping out a rhythm and a portentous two-note bass riff spelling out a tense atmosphere in which two opposed sides might be waiting for one to strike first, is "Golden Axe".
