Vanquisher

Vanquisher tells the epic tales of Conan the Cimmerian and the Hyborian Age written by Robert E. Howard and embraces the theme fully both musically and visually. The sword and sorcery laden epic heavy metal quintet from Sweden follows the best traditions of fellow bands such as Eternal Champion, Manilla Road and Manowar. 2022 saw the release of Vanquisher's debut album "An Age Undreamed of" together with Stormspell Records - mixed and mastered by Niklas Johansson (Tungsten/Hulkoff). The release was followed up with a few live shows like Kristianstad Rockfest and a Release Party at Plan B in Malmö (even serving a special beer by Heavy MetAle themed for the event!). Having constructed their own studio and rehearsal space "Stronghold Studios" during the time of the pandemic Vanquisher is now back in full strength and currently forging the next chapter. While Vanquisher was officially founded in 2014 by singer Johan Jönsson and guitarist Robin Malm it all really took off as a band in late 2017 when the full band was assembled after having released the first EP "A Demonstration of Power". From that point forward they made sure to play live and find the strenghts in their songs before bringing them to the studio in 2019 when the first single "Shadows over Stygia" was released. "Overall, an anthemic styled storytelling journey, heavily sprinkled with elements of the epic and glory styles of metal." - 9/10 by Iron Mathew on MetalGodsTV
