Conquest - Demo (1988)

This is pretty ordinary thrash from 1988. Decent for back in the day, but doesn't hold a lot of interest for me now. The singing is pretty typical of the time, with mostly snarled lyrics punctuated by the occasional high-pitched shriek. The riffs are pretty standard and repetitive, and the guitar solos are fast but pointless. The production is above average, though.

What's really notable about the band is that they're still around and producing music. They had another demo after this one, and have since released five full-lengths and two EPs. Who know you could make a career of being mediocre? Some samples of their newer stuff is available from their MySpace page.
