Conquest

Band, US
Rock

A long active American power metal/ thrash act from St. Louis, Missouri. Formed back in 1988. Not to be confused by a same named act from Michigan. Conquest formed in late 1988 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 first full length heavy metal record titled Hellraiser (demo). Through the 90’s the band experimented with a variety of metal styles only to find the real calling for the band was aggressive in your face high energy thrash. 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 2000, Tony Restivo left the band and was replaced by Robert Lloyd. The band began work on what would become their next release No Boundaries. With the success of the No Boundaries tour where they completed a full 70 over the road performance, Jagermeistermusic offered their endorsement of Conquest, opening up new avenues for the band. In 2005 with the exit of Robert Lloyd and the return of former bass player Tony Restivo, Conquest began work on their next project End of Days. After rave reviews record label Dark Star Records joined the forces and released End of Days on June 3, 2008. Metal fans liked the fresh, aggressive, high energy, melodic breed of pure heavy metal Conquest delivers and can count on consistency of their recordings equaling their stage performance. Fast forward to 2013 new bass player Rob Boyer and the next release The War we Rage. The most recent album was Under The Influence which is a tribute to the METAL GODS and released 2016. Currently the band is set to release another original album at the end of 2017.
