VISIGOTH – Conqueror's Oath CD

In the end, Visigoth's Conqueror's Oath deserves its positive reputation and is one of the best epic heavy metal records I have heard in a quite long time. The band might not reinvent the genre but performs its eight songs with creativity, energy and passion that make this record engaging from start to finish. The organic production recalls the bands of the seventies and eighties that quite obviously inspired the band. The stunning cover artwork represents the material perfectly and is the cherry atop the heavy metal cake. If you haven't listened to the band yet and like classic heavy metal or so-called true metal, you can't get around this band in general and this album in particular.
