The future of British metal lies in safe hands with CONJURER, who today have announced their long-awaited new album “Páthos,” which will be released 1st July 2022 via Nuclear Blast. A triumphant return from CONJURER following their world-renowned 2018 debut “Mire,” “Páthos” is a band flexing their creative muscles, deepening their approach and thought, and expanding their sound.

Today, CONJURER deliver their breath-taking 2nd single “Rot”. It’s a tortured, battered listening experience, and a blistering reminder of why the young band has become so praised so quickly. That a band can be at once so triumphantly beautiful and gut-punchingly heavy is a testament to CONJURER’s quality and a surefire sign of their future longevity at the top of Britain’s heavy music scene. You can watch the powerful and unsettling music video for ‘Rot’ below.
CONJURER comments about the single: “‘Rot’ looks at the same topics of anxiety, fear, and depression that feature in It Dwells and flips the perspective/narrative. We wanted to hone in on the most visceral and disgusting parts of our sound when we were writing it and, along with the lyrics, play with the idea of giving that fear and dread a voice. (It’s not very nice.)”
Bassist Conor Marshall comments: “Excited to finally be able to share the album with everyone! I’m sure this is the same for every band trying to release an album during the pandemic but it feels like we’ve been holding on to it for so long, so it’s nice for it to not be my problem any more and to be able to actually talk about it!”
“Páthos” is not an album for the half-hearted or faint-hearted. Elements of Sumac, Gojira, old MASTODON and OATHBREAKER, the new record is a multi-layered beast – sludge, death, doom, black metal and hardcore influences clash and collide throughout, all masterfully finished by Will Putney’s exquisite mix and master.
The fifty-minute runtime of “Páthos” is not without its moments of the sublime, with post-metal nods to CONJURER and PIJN’s acclaimed Curse These Metal Hands project throughout. That a band can be at once so triumphantly beautiful and gut-punchingly heavy is testament to CONJURER’s quality, and a surefire sign of their future longevity at the top of Britain’s heavy music scene.
