The world's heaviest doom metal band CONAN finally provide some exciting insights into a secret world! 'Man Is Myth - Early Demos' are the unheard beasts out of the band's rehearsal room and studio, and will see the light of day on November 17th on Napalm Records. It roars and cranks all over, dull distortion drags nerves into the coldest regions of the world. It's no accident that they call themselves Caveman Battle Doom. 'Man Is Myth - Early Demos' is the primordial soup for everything that CONAN stands for! Says guitarist & vocalist Jon Paul Davis: Conan has been active since 2006.
