Conan continue their uncompromising pursuit of caveman battle doom on Blood Eagle, a towering collection of monolithic riffs, hypnotic melodies and relentless low-end force. The band's second album channels a raw, primal energy, combining crushing heaviness with an atmosphere that evokes ancient battlefields and mythic conflict. Tracks such as Crown of Talons and Gravity Chasm showcase Conan's ability to balance immense weight with hypnotic momentum, while the band's stripped-back approach gives the album a distinctive and unyielding character. Fierce drumming, vast guitar tones and a sense of looming menace run throughout, making Blood Eagle a formidable statement from one of doom metal's heaviest acts.
