Conan share new single and music video “Righteous Alliance” from upcoming album, “Evidence of Immortality”

Following their much acclaimed 2018 full-length, “Existential Void Guardian”, and their “Live at Freak Valley” record released just last year, England’s doom metal masters Conan are back. The trio’s fifth studio album, entitled “Evidence of Immortality”, drops August 19, 2022 via Napalm Records.

As the first album singles showcase, Conan’s upcoming magnum opus is truly heavy. The British kings of brutally heavy slowness push their down-tuned axes and cranked pedals to the limit, crushing ears and minds when huge, rumbling chords and malevolent riffs muscle their way in over lances of infinite distortion and drums that pummel and thunder.

Following their previously released first album single “Levitation Hoax”, today the band has unleashed a brand new, colossal track and music video. “Righteous Alliance” emphasizes that Conan are the masters of their craft, while Jon Davis spits his lyrics over the uber-synchronized power chord changes and tempo shifts of the unholy trio of bass, drums and guitar.

Guitarist and singer Jon Davis comments:

“‘Righteous Alliance‘ is another track that we have been playing live. It is all about war, and the hopelessness of it. However, a hero is coming and just as death is imminent, an unflinching saviour enters the fray and the day is saved, for now.

We were keen to include some fan footage from over the years, thankfully they came through so thanks to everyone for being a part of it.”

You can watch the video below:

“Evidence of Immortality” 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”. The album’s artwork was provided by the skilled hand and mind of Tony Roberts, architect of the Conan visual style since day one and their debut release, “Horseback Battle Hammer”. Bow down and hail Conan, as their sound will live forever on the battlefield of doom.

Davis explains:

“’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. 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.”
