Conjurer were formed in 2014 by Brady Deeprose and Dan Nightingale, with Andy Price and Jan Krause completing the lineup; with the latter previously playing keyboards for British
death-doom band
Esoteric.[6] The group built their following though frequent live performances.[7] Deeprose cited Rugby's
central location within the UK as helping the band reach a variety of venues.[8]
2018 also saw festival performances at
ArcTanGent and
2000Trees, and a tour supporting fellow British Doom Metal band
Conan.[13][14]
In 2019 the band signed with
Nuclear Blast.[6][15] Conjurer released three new pieces of material in 2019; namely:
"Conjurer on Audiotree Live", a live recording of the band playing 5 of their previously released songs in one of
Audiotree's well-known live recording sessions;
"Curse These Metal Hands", a collaborative effort with British
post-rock band Pijn;
"Conjurer x Palm Reader", a
split with fellow British band Palm Reader, consisting of each band covering two songs from other well-known metal and rock bands. Conjurer provide the
A-side of the record, covering "
Vermillion" by
Slipknot, as well as "
Blood and Thunder" by
Mastodon.
In 2021, Conjurer played at the Download Pilot, a 2-day, 10,000-person capacity event which acted as part of the second phase of the British government's event research programme during the COVID-19 pandemic.[21]
Conjurer also played
Bloodstock Open Air and
Damnation Festival in 2021.[22][23] Drummer Jan Krause left the band following performing at these festivals for reasons of
mental health, though would still feature on 2022's "Páthos", having performed drums, keys, and samples. Jan was replaced on drums by Noah See.[24]
Conjurer released their second full-length album, "Páthos", in 2022. Paul Travers of
Kerrang! declared Conjurer to be "one of the finest metal bands out there right now" based on this album.[25] They performed at
Hellfest,
Radar Festival and once again
ArcTanGent in summer 2022, supporting
End on a European tour.[6] Shortly thereafter, Conjurer also supported
Carcass on their 2023 "Bloody Blighty" UK tour along with
Unto Others.[26] The band are currently set to play a 6-date tour of small music venues with British
Alternative rock group Unpeople.[27] The "United by Music" tour is one of many by the same name organised by the
Music Venue Trust and funded by the
UK National Lottery. The band were put forward for this tour by
Kerrang! magazine, whose
awards event is a charity partner of the Music Venue Trust.[27]
