Conception is a power/progressive metal band from Raufoss, Norway.

History

The band was formed in Norway in 1989 by guitarist Tore Østby, singer Dag Østby, drummer Werner Skogli and bassist Freddy Samsonstuen. In 1990, after a demo tape, Arve Heimdal replaced Werner Skogli and Ingar Amlien replaced Freddy Samsonstuen. A year later, Dag Østby quits, and the band is forced to search for a new vocalist. After many auditions, the band hooks up with Roy Khan, a classically trained opera singer. To record their first album, The Last Sunset, they form their own record label, CSF Records. However, after talks and negotiations, Conception signs with Noise Records in 1993 and records their second album Parallel Minds. In 1995 they released their third album, In Your Multitude and their fourth and last album, Flow, in 1997.

Their somewhat short-lived career (the band disbanded in 1997-8) was characterized by a unique and dinstinct sound on the power/progressive metal genre which was slightly altered with their last studio release, Flow.

Conception has come to be reunited in 2005, playing the important American prog metal festival Prog Power USA 2005 Friday September 16 and Norwegian Scream Magazine 15 Years & 100 Issues Festival Saturday October 1, bringing guitarist Tore Østby (Ark), singer Roy Khan (now lead singer of Kamelot) and the rest of the band back together.
