Conjurer’s rise continues with the release of their beautifully brutal new video/single Retch.
Premiering on Kerrang!, who nominate the band as one of The Hottest Bands of 2018, you can watch Retch here:
As the band comment: ‘Retch is the most straight-up, no-nonsense track on the record and we wanted to reflect that in the video, filming only one take in a place that feels very much entwined with the progression of the band. Throw in the 360 technology and we’ve had a lot of fun with this one.’
The single comes ahead of the band’s highly anticipated debut LP Mire (23 Feb 2018, Holy Roar Records).
A stunning listen, combining Opeth at their heaviest and most dynamic, Mastodon at their earliest, and Gojira at their most venomous, Mire is a step up from a young band who are already being championed as ones to watch by Metal Hammer, Kerrang!, BBC Radio 1 Rock Show and more.
Equal turns bleak, dark, stark, and beautiful, Mire is an album which makes true the cliché “a journey of a listen”. From the apocalyptic opener ‘Choke’ to the haunting soundscapes within the eponymous track, this LP is as impressive in its power as in its multi-layered dynamism.
Led by the dual vocal/guitar attack of Dan Nightingale and Brady Deeprose, Conjurer are a band who are already attracting attention from the metal press and industry. The band have an impressive touring history, despite still being at the very beginning of their journey. Tours with Weedeater, OHHMS, shows with Employed To Serve, Venom Prison, Oathbreaker, and festival appearances at Bloodstock Open Air, Damnation Fest, UK Tech Fest, Doom Over London and more besides place Conjurer in rarefied but highly deserved company.
Another sparkling release in Holy Roar’s glittering catalogue, Mire will set 2018 alight for Conjurer. Watch this space.
