Violence Dimension

Violence Dimension, released in 2025, marks Conan's debut on Heavy Psych Sounds and their sixth full-length studio effort. Produced by long-time collaborator Chris Fielding, the record represents a refinement of their 'caveman battle doom' aesthetic while pushing the production into even more 'subterranean' territory. The album is characterized by its extreme low-end saturation and the 'unconventionally obnoxious' drumming of Johnny King, particularly noted on tracks like 'Desolation Hexx'. Lyrically, Jon Davis explores themes of existential dread and the 'hinterland between being scared to live and being scared to die,' moving slightly away from purely mythological warfare into more abstract, internal territory. Critics from Metal Hammer and Distorted Sound praised the album's increased drum punch and the 'volcanic' quality of the bass, solidifying Conan's position as the heaviest band in the UK doom scene. The inclusion of the 12-minute closer 'Vortexxion' showcases their ability to sustain tension through massive, repetitive structures.
