Now this is how you do some Black/Thrash. If your riffs are just good, rather than great, you have to have a lot of them and you have to play them fast. Some bands have not figured this out, but Conquerors have, and thus Stormbringer is a blistering barrage of thrashing riffs from beginning to end, with hardly any place in between to even catch a breath. This band reminds me of no one so much as the vanished Forest of Impaled, and if you told someone this was the follow-up to Forward the Spears there would be no reason to doubt it. This is fast, furious black thrashing steel and fans of the style would do well to catch it.
