Conqueror - War Cult Supremacy
This is the debut album for Canada’s Conqueror, and much like their fellow countrymen, Blasphemy, these guys play ugly-ass Black Grinding Death Metal. The similarities to Blasphemy are all over the place. The riffs are primitive as fuck, the guitars are tuned down real low and the drumming is just one long blast beat. The only real difference between this band and Blasphemy is the fact that Conqueror uses some strange vocal effects every now and then. I liked the split CD that they did with Black Witchery, but I think this style is a bit too monotonous for a full-length album. Face it, blast-beat drumming and noisy guitars get boring after a while. In fact, I think the split CD had better production! This one has guitars that are noisy and so buried underneath the snare drum that you can barely make anything out. In effect, you’re listening to a drum solo that lasts for 10 songs and never really changes. What Conqueror really needs to do is change things up a bit. Blast-beats are nice but 45 minutes of constant blast-beating is boring. This whole album sounded like ten different versions of the same song because the drumming was pretty much the same for every song and the guitars were so buried that you could barely hear them half the time. And speaking of the guitars, turn them up next time!!! If I wanted to listen to 45 minutes of drumming, I’d buy a fucking Rap album. I kind of expected this to happen with this band, but I was hoping that they would do something unexpected and different, but they didn’t. Maybe their next album…
