Conquering Dystopia is a tech-metal wet dream lineup which is the brainchild of guitarists Keith Merrow and Jeff Loomis with help from Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster and The Faceless drummer Alex Rüdinger. The band completed their debut album and it's out now. There is a lot of shred on this instru-metal album.
You can stream the whole thing for free right now on the band's website. And, coincidentally you can buy it on there as well for 10 bucks in either MP3 or WAV versions. How nice of them? Also, I must commend whoever their web developer is. Their decision to self-host their streams as opposed to using a service like Soundcloud is smart business because blogs like us send all the traffic directly to them. And I don't mind, because the music is REALLY good so make some time to check it out.
