Review : By Conquest Or Consent – “Empires” Posted: 28/11/2014 by John O'Brien
“Empires” from BY CONQUEST OR CONSENT is a 9 track album that from the second it begins it grabs a hold of your genitals and refuses to let go till the very last beat. This five-piece is relentless in its attack upon your ears. With duelling vocals on certain tracks it complements everything they have perfected already.
If THROWDOWN heard this album I’m pretty sure they would throw the towel in and run. And believe me any band who can out do THROWDOWN, for me is a band worthy of your attention. ‘We Came To Bring The Fight’ is sure to have people whipped into a frenzy in the pit. This is immediately followed by the unleashing of ‘The Truth Won’t Set You Free’.
A perfect album to annoy the neighbours, make you sing along, or just put a big dirty smile upon your face. I cannot wait to see these guys live again, as I fear my ears and body will never be the same again. If you get a chance, don’t miss them. They leave their blood and sweat on the stage. The way it should be…
