Conan - Revengeance

Just got this in the mail at my college's radio station and it's a banger. Straight into metal rotation. Probably a solid 8, needs a few more listens.

Another Conan album, so pretty ludicrously heavy and solid. I know these guys are probably supposed to be about being slow and crushing, but I think I much prefer them when they crank it up a few gears, and get some momentum behind them and some really meaty rhythms occur. It gets much fun. Doesn't happen nearly enough on this one so once again you end up with a Conan album where the title track is the best by far. I still really like the monotone vocals, though I imagine a lot of people don't. Reminds me of Andreas Sydow's great style.

On the second song and these vocals are already driving me mental - amongst the most irritating vocals I think I've ever encountered

Edit: Turned off halfway through. Can't really see the appeal of a band like this in a world that contains Kongh - Sole Creation is just as heavy as this, but with better riffs, more interesting songs and actually enjoyable vocals
