Conjurer - Unself (2025)
Unself finds Conjurer navigating internal collapse and self-reconstruction, translating personal upheaval into heavy, thematic soundscapes.
The album alternates between hushed introspection and full-throttle sonic assault — acoustic passages give way to crushing riffs and feral screams, reflecting fracture and renewal.
Vocals and instrumentation embody the tension: dual vocalists merge anguished growls, clean lines and lead-guitar melodicism while the rhythm section drives both the devastation and the calm.
At its best, Unself forges connection through vulnerability — the band use themes of identity, diagnosis and alienation to deepen the emotional impact rather than just deliver heaviness.
Though not flawless in pacing, this album stands as their most cohesive and human record to date — heavy in impact, rich in intention.
