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. Our first demo was recorded on Jan 27th, 2007 and since then we have continued to release our music and tour worldwide. We started out with nothing and gave it everything, like most respected bands.

Monolord Release Single And Title Track 'Rust' From New Album Out September 29th Gothenburg, Sweden trio Monolord share the title track and details on their highly anticipated third album Rust. The song features John Gamino (Mondo Drag) on keyboards and Trevor Church (Beastmaker) playing a guitar solo at the end of the tune.  Hear and share “Rust” via YouTube and Bandcamp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX4HwEAF_Eo https://monolord.bandcamp.com Monolord is a rare breed: A band both encompassing and transcending genre; a vortex of heavy rock density that consumes all others. Their thunderous, tuneful heft has built a rabid international fanbase in short order since their 2014 debut. But Rust, the band’s third full length, truly exemplifies why some refer to them as the Nirvana of doom. Monolord’s enveloping, syrupy sludge is a vibe, it’s a state of mind. Not riffs for riffs sake, but a collective buzzing, rattling and rumbling that’s more total environment than coll...
