Sludgy post-metal outfit Conjurer have paired up today’s (October 24th) release of their third studio album “Unself” with the debut of a music video for its latest single, “All Apart“. Matthieu Gill wrote, produced and directed that clip. Guitarist/vocalist Dani Nightingale had the following insight to share about the song itself:
“I approached this song with the idea in mind of the first bricks that make up the metaphorical wall someone might put (or find) between them and their surroundings, the world they inhabit, both physical and metaphysical. For many people in a similar or comparable position to mine, those initial instances of disassociation and alienation begin at school, when one is first integrated into a social and educational environment with their peers and those who watch over them.
I can’t describe what it’s like to be vilified for behaviours and traits that are just normal and natural to you, but because no-one understands you – not even yourself – you’re forced to adhere to things you don’t understand and become something you’re not.”
As revealed in a past press release for this record, Nightingale‘s adult age diagnosis of autism and self-discovery of being non-binary in recent years have played into the lyrical themes of this new record. You can find the band out supporting this album at the following shows:
