CONQUEST OF STEEL: 'Victorious In Defeat' Single Details Revealed

February 3, 2011

U.K. heavy metallers CONQUEST OF STEEL will release their "Victorious In Defeat" seven-inch single on March 7.

A press release states: "Having ridden high above the new wave of thrash, narrowly avoided being tagged as part of the "New Wave Of Heavy Metal," CONQUEST OF STEEL has once more bypassed the industry bullshit to return with a slab of trad metal and the strength of conviction to resist the forthcoming glam rock resurgence.

"Recorded almost entirely live, these three tracks see the band moving away from the gravitas of their conceptual opus ('Storm Sword - Rise of the Dread Queen') and re-discovering their metal roots with 'Paid In Steel'. 'Man Of The Dragon' sees the band embracing the 'rock' in honour of their mentor and guide Ronnie James Dio and 'One Thousand Lives' (of war) is pure adoration of the riff. These tracks featuring the band's best production to date (Greg Chandler, Priory Studios and ESOTERIC frontman) are bound to blow speakers around the globe! The vinyl also features a live rendition of the classic 'I Am Legend', from the band's sophomore release, 'Hammer And Fist'."

"Victorious In Defeat" is strictly limited to 333 hand-numbered copies and will be pressed onto blood red vinyl set inside a deluxe gatefold sleeve, with a full-color inlay. Each copy will come with a hand-printed CONQUEST OF STEEL patch and limited-edition plectrum.

For "wimps and posers," a download code will be available within each record, enabling purchasers to download MP3 versions of the tracks.

The single will be available direct from the band's web site and at all gigs. Email [email protected] or [email protected] for info. Make sure to order quick as this release is bound to sell out soon!
