CONCEPTION - In Your Multitude Noise, 1995
|
|
As a fan of
Conception, I often ask myself which album is their best, ”Parallel
Minds” was very powermetal in it’s feel, and ”In Your Multitude” was
more progressive than powermetal and finally ”Flow” was the
departure of the old Conception as the band turned mainstream with
modern rock anthems. Personally I think this one is their best,
because it’s very heavy, plus the band really knows how to compose
progressive pieces with hard-hitting riffs. This was their third
album, and as mentioned this album is more progressive and heavier
than ”Parallel Minds”. From the first deadly riff in ”Under A
Mourning Star” it’s evident that the band’s sound has become way
more heavy, but still balanced with progressive instrumentation. As
always the song´s are brilliant, some are mellow (”Sanctuary” and
”Some Wounds”), some are progressive (”A Million Gods” and ”In Your
Multitude”) and some are unusually heavy and hard-hitting (”Missionary
Man” and ”Retrospect”). Especially ”A Million Gods” is a progressive
masterpiece with a groovy bass line and tons of tempo changes, one
of their best song´s definitely. Dammit I’ve just come to the
realisation of the high quality of this album, when I think about it
maybe it was for the best that the band decided to split after
”Flow” before turning into a pop band. Oh well, Conception will be
remembered as the band who released two excellent albums, namely
”Parallel Minds” and ”In Your Multitude”, and a different, but still
good album in it’s own way ”Flow”. Anyway, fans of progmetal will
appreciate this album. ”In Your Multitude” gets a 9.
