Conjurer - Mire (180g Limited Edition Gold Vinyl) LP
With “Mire”, British heavy quartet Conjurer unleashed one of the most punishing and emotionally suffocating debut albums in modern extreme metal. Originally released to widespread acclaim, Mire established the band as a formidable force by merging oppressive sludge riffs, doom-laden weight and the bleak atmospheres of post-metal into a sound that feels both monolithic and deeply human.
From the opening moments, Mire drags the listener into a world of tension, anxiety and catharsis. Downtuned guitars grind relentlessly, drums hit with blunt-force precision and the vocals alternate between feral screams and anguished roars. The album thrives on contrast, moments of sheer sonic violence are followed by haunting, almost meditative passages that allow the weight of the music to fully sink in.
Tracks like “Choke,” “Hollow,” and “Suffer Alone” showcase Conjurer’s mastery of dynamics and atmosphere. Rather than relying on speed or technical excess, Mire builds its impact through repetition, density and emotional intensity. Every riff feels deliberate, every breakdown earned, every quiet moment loaded with tension.
Lyrically and thematically, Mire explores feelings of isolation, inner turmoil and emotional collapse, reinforcing the album’s suffocating sonic character. The production captures the rawness of the performances while maintaining clarity, allowing the massive low end and textural details to coexist without compromise.
This 180g Limited Edition Gold Vinyl pressing elevates Mire to a collector’s piece, perfectly matching the album’s bleak beauty and crushing presence. A must-have for fans of heavy, boundary-pushing metal that values atmosphere as much as brute force.
