Conjurist are a solo project from Nashville, Tennessee that plays a mixture of blackgaze, post black, melodic death, doom metal and hardcore and this is a review of his self released 2026 album "I Am The Earth".
Clean playing starts off the album while also adding in touches of shoegaze before adding in clear vocals which takes the music into a heavier direction. Harsh vocals are a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls along with all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Spoken words can also be heard at times while the music also adds in a good amount of hardcore elements. Melodies are also added into a lot of the guitar riffing along with the slower sections of the album also shows an influence of doom metal and when the music speeds up a decent amount of blast b eats can also be heard.
When tremolo picking is added into the fast riffing they also give the music more of a raw feeling along with the album also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast arts, when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic post metal style as well as the album also having its atmospheric moments. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover mysticism, ancient history, conspiracy theories and the dark corners of human emotion and existence.
In my opinion Conjurist is a very decent sounding mixture of blackgaze, post black, melodic death, doom metal and hardcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Better Call Saul" "Nineveh" "Empires" and "Skinwalker". 8 out of 10.
