Liverpool, England-based doom metal band Conan issued fourth full-length studio album Existential Void Guardian<\/em><\/a> on September 14th, 2018 through Napalm Records.<\/p>\n

Frontman Jon Paul Davis commented: \u201cExistential Void Guardian<\/em> expands upon our previous lyrical and conceptual ideas. Bringing the listener\u2019s focus from the screens of our favourite arcade machines to the minds of the characters through whose eyes we view the two dimensional plane.\u201d<\/p>\n

Existential Void Guardian<\/em> was recorded with producer Chris Fielding at Skyhammer Studio in Childer Thornton, Cheshire. Mastering duties fell to James Plotkin.<\/p>\n
