need no introduction for true industrial fans and their latest offering
sees them evolve their sound to the next level. The opener/title track
has some great drone metal riffs with all sorts of weird electronics flowing
underneath the organic instrumentation. In the past they may have had
criticism for being repetitive, but I am convinced that this record will
keep listeners interested throughout. The vocals are melodic in a not
at all cheesy way and juxtapose nicely against the heaviness and power
of the music. The tracks to lookout for on here are ‘Transfigure’
and ‘Medicine’. I find myself nodding my head throughout as
Conqueror is just so damn addictive. One spin of this record is clearly
not enough however, and like anything with integrity and balls this record
needs time to grow and mature like a fine wine. A definite contender for
album of the year already! |
