CONJURER and PALM READER have announced their split covers EP, due for release 13th December via Holy Roar Records.
Boasting four tracks with two covers each, both bands pay tribute to the acts that have influenced and inspired them: CONJURER cover Mastodon and Slipknot, while PALMREADER cover Rage Against The Machine and Thrice. Each track delivers a uniquely new take, imprinting the newer bands’ distinctive brands of noise and demonstrating their more than considerable talent.
Sometimes it can be easy to forget that first and foremost we are all ardent music fans – this split aims to bring that passion to the surface. If nothing else, this small but mighty collection of covers is built precisely with the purpose of reimagining and recapturing that first listening experience of a beloved song.
Full tracklisting:
1. Conjurer – Blood and Thunder (Mastodon)
2. Conjurer – Vermillion (Slipknot)
3. Palm Reader – Tire Me (Rage Against The Machine)
4. Palm Reader – Circles (Thrice)
