Conquest by Beithíoch
"Conquest is the sound of warriors riding each other down in limbo, forever reenacting battles long since over."
- Metal Trenches
"a record both instrumentally rich, and willing to betray its blueprints for the sake of hell inferno"
- Holy Grail from Hell
"tenebrous, bottom dwelling, black souled stuff that has that hard to define but ever present Lovecraftian dread in it."
- Metal Ireland
"I find myself lost amid the rush toward battle and the glacially slow passages that feel like standing at a cliff overlooking endless seas."
- Black Metal and Brews
"It has really stood out to me amongst the latest swathe of Black/Death metal releases."
- Irish Metal Archives
"Beithioch make use of subtle counterpoint melodies to pierce through rhythmic bedrock comprising equally of Voivodian dissonance, statelier doom, and the ambient noodlings beloved of modern bands"
- Old Disgruntled Bastard

Conquest draws on historical stories of massacre, battle and rebellion - combining the muscle of early Amorphis with the compositional sensibilities of Burzum in an album exploring the savagery inherent to human nature.
