"Seven years after they burst onto the scene, much is riding on this new album." Much hyped UK metal hopefuls Conjurer are back to their very best on Unself

Conjurer sat in chairs against a black bakcground.

Back in 2018, Warwickshire post-sludge quartet Conjurer seemed to appear fully formed from nowhere, armed with one of the finest debut metal albums of the decade, the staggering Mire.

Immediately, they became one of the country’s most talked-about new bands. However, its 2022 follow-up, Páthos, struggled to match the intensity, songcraft and overall excitement that Mire delivered. Seven years after they burst onto a scene so keen on finding the shiny new thing, there’s a very real sense that much is riding on the third Conjurer album.
