The intro to Ravager, verse riff of Abyssal Gates, bridge riff of Soul Devourer and on and on give you sounds and speed of precision. Can't say they are entirely original, but the riff writing on Conquerors seems to me to be much more unique then the previous two releases from them.
One thing that will pierce through your eardrums are the solos-speed, sweeps, and madness that could only come from Moyses. Vocals and drums here don't deserve as much mention for the reason that the vox have little variety and the drums are very predictable. Alex has a very hard job though here to keep the speed as well as recite blasphemous lyrics. Max is not the most creative drummer but he's precise with his blast beats and double bass flurrys. Krisiun originated in the late 80's with minute amounts of publicity.
Now they are finally getting into the spotlight like they deserve touring with such bands as Nile, Incantation, Angelcorpse (r.i.p.), etc. Conquerors is their strongest release to date. Let's hope with the next release though we get a little more variety instead of pure speed. However, this is Krisiun and well that is their trademark. But these guys seem much more intelligent about their music now opposed to Black Force Domain and Apocalyptic Revelation eras.
To give Conquerors less then a 100 out of 100 in rating would be irrational and unjust. Get this album, and expect to be mesmerized by sounds you thought not possible to the ear.
Rating: 100
