Conquest

Uriah Heep

A polarizing pivot toward slicker, high-register melodic rock. The sound of a legendary band reinventing itself for a new decade amidst internal friction.

Find on Amazon

The one where they tried to sound like the 80s and it actually kind of worked, even if the band hated it.

A restless and high-energy attempt at modernization that feels both technically impressive and emotionally strained.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The soaring, high-pitched vocal peak in 'No Return' that signals a radical departure from the band's previous singers.
The driving, anthemic synth-and-guitar interplay during the chorus of 'Carry On' that attempts a radio-friendly pivot.
The surprisingly funky, slap-adjacent bass line that anchors the groove of 'Out on the Street'.
