Last year, veteran Midwest metallists CONQUEST returned with their latest album, ‘Paradox.’ And now, the lads are prepared to unleash their latest single/video, “Love Amplified.” And like their previous standout offerings, “Walking Dead” and “The Writings on the Wall,” “Love Amplified” merges metal with melody, and measures up mightily to the current competition. Local fans will be able to hear the song performed live soon, as several performances have been confirmed. 

“A strong, in your face hard rock song about the love of playing guitar, drums, bass, whatever it is that you love to play as a musical instrument,” explains the group’s singer/guitarist, Derrick Brumley. “A very cool track to play live – the audience seems to love it, and we truly enjoy playing it!” 

Drummer Lee Skyles also holds the track in high regard: “‘Love Amplified’ was definitely one of those songs we wrote that was outside of our norm. When Mike Crook played this cool guitar intro to the song, excitement set in and we knew we were on to something different. It’s one of those upbeat, feel good songs that get you on your feet, and will make you move however you move! For me, I love the lead solos, as they are tasty, raw, and full of pizzazz! I think folks will really like the tune on loud! Turn it up to 11!” 

Comprised of Brumley, Crook, Skyles, and bassist Rob Boyer, Conquest’s latest LP, ‘Paradox’ (which can be streamed or ordered via https://lnk.to/conquestparadox), was produced and engineered by Derrick (and mixed by Adam Long), and is getting rave reviews via metal media, including the Rock You Show site saying “I have to give this one 9.5 out of 10 “Flaming Fist”. You nearly get 2 albums worth of great quality music, including a stellar cover of Rainbow’s “Man on the Silver Mountain”. I thank them personally for keeping the metal torch lit in these times of darkness”.

Veteran Midwest metallists CONQUEST returned with their latest album, and have just unleashed their latest single and lyric video from it, “Celtic Mist.” 

Concerning the new single/video, the group’s singer and guitarist, Derrick Brumley, explained: “Celtic Mist is a great track that has a different feel to it than everything on the record. It leads off with bass guitar and the song is driven by the low end, and the bass guitar hook. Rob Boyer was in Ireland and came back with this great vibe and idea for the tune. Very strong and rhythm-driven. One of my favorite tunes on the record!” 

‘Paradox’ is available as two vinyl records or a single CD (plus available on all streaming services), the album continues in the same direction as their previous studio offerings, as evidenced by such standout tracks as “Walking Dead” and “The Writings on the Wall” (both of which have already been issued as music videos), as well as a cover of the Rainbow classic, “Man on the Silver Mountain.”

Veteran midwest metal outfit CONQUEST return with their latest album, ‘Paradox,’ released on Friday, May 10th. Available as two vinyl records or a single CD (plus available on all streaming services), the album continues in the same direction as their previous studio offerings, as evidenced by such standout tracks as “Walking Dead” and “The Writings on the Wall” (both of which have already been issued as music videos), as well as a cover of the Rainbow classic, “Man on the Silver Mountain.” 

Comprised of Derrick Brumley: Lead Vocals and Guitar, Mike Crook: Vocals and Guitar, Rob Boyer: Vocals and Bass, and Lee Skyles: Vocals and Drums, ‘Paradox’ was also produced and mixed by Derrick (and engineered by Adam Long), the band’s latest album is getting rave reviews via metal media, including the Rock You Show site saying “I have to give this one 9.5 out of 10 “Flaming Fist”. You nearly get 2 albums worth of great quality music, including a stellar cover of Rainbow’s “Man on the Silver Mountain”. I thank them personally for keeping the Metal torch lit in these times of darkness”. 
 
“This was a record that took 3 years to make had many different obstacles,” admits Derrick. “But we made it through and it was a blast to put together. All the band members did an outstanding job from The melodies on the bass to the blazing guitar solos and the strong aggressive drumming…these guys helped me put it all together. And it turned out in my opinion over the top.”

And the singer/guitarist/producer also has some favorite tracks in mind. “Lots to choose from. The obvious tracks ‘Walking Dead,’ ‘Writing on the Wall,’ there are all kinds of different heavy metal tracks on this record. ‘Babylon America’ and ‘The Killing Time,’ two different styles but very, very complimentary to each other.”

Additionally, the cover of “Man on the Silver Mountain” is certainly a standout. “‘Man on the Silver Mountain’ for me was always one of those tracks when I was a kid that just stood out. My dad always played it and my friend’s dad’s always played that song, it was just one of those songs in the midwest that really had some grit to it.” 

Lee Skyles added “Recording the PARADOX album in the studio was rewarding in the sense it felt to be very organic in nature with the even flow of the songs as we wrote them and recorded. As some songs were done with such feeling between us in the room together and other tracks we laid the drums later on the fly like ‘Babylon America’ and ‘World of Hate’ which gave it more of what you would want it to be like. PARADOX was truly a metal masterful piece of work in which keeps the old school metal flavor in a modern form.”

And having already shared concert stages with the likes of Slayer, Rob Halford, Testament, Iron Maiden, and Yngwie Malmsteen, the band can certainly deliver the goods on stage – which the band will soon be doing with shows in support of ‘Paradox.’ 

And fans will get a chance to experience Conquest live on stage on July 12th, when the band performs with Burning Witches at Diamond Music Hall in St. Peters, MO.

The second single and video “Walking Dead is now available at https://smarturl.it/ConquestWalkingDead where you can also pre-order the autographed CD and Vinyl bundles.

Paradox, a pure Heavy Metal record from top to bottom. With the speed of King of the World and Valley Of The Damned, and the dynamics of The Devil’s Creed, and the thought provoking lyrics of Save Me, the depth of this record is by far our greatest accomplishment. Melodic guitar solos and crunchy ryhthms, with a furiously tight and precise drum performance, add a touch of lyrical bass melodies and vocals of poise and aggressionproducing a unique vocal style. Paradox is a Heavy Metal record with many flavors to choose from.

Derrick Brumley: By far the best work I have ever done, recording Paradox was a great experience. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.

Dark Star recording artists Conquest are strong, aggressive, high energy musicians from the Midwest, Conquest has rocked the nation with their pure breed of Modern Heavy Metal stemming from the old school influences of METALLICA, JUDAS PRIEST and TESTAMENT with a definite presence of their own musical flavor.

Conquest formed in late 1989 by founder Derrick Brumley, frontman and guitar player of the band. Joined by Tony Restivo, Tim Fleetwood, and Adrian Vesper, Conquest played locally and made their 6 song release Hellraiser (demo). Through the ’90s the band experimented with a variety of metal styles only to find the real calling for the group was aggressive in your face high energy heavy metal. In 1995 with the departure of Adrian Vesper and the addition of Mike Crook, Conquest rejuvenated their heavy root beginning with the European release of Rage. In 1999 Tony Restivo left the band and was replaced by Robert Lloyd. The group started work on what would become their next release No Boundaries. With the success of the No Boundaries tour, they completed 70 road performances and grabbing a Jagermeister music endorsement, opening up new avenues for the band. And, now with the addition of Rob Boyer on bass guitar, the group has racked up over 7 releases including End of Days, The War We Rage and Under The Influence. Metal fans will delight in the fresh aggressive, high energy, melodic breed of pure heavy metal Conquest delivers, consistency of their recordings equaling their diverse stage performances not always found in the metal world.
