Presentation

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 Malm? (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 J?nsson 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.

Announcement for shows

Out of the near-forgotten past, from an age undreamed of, come five barbarians born in the frozen north of Nordheim with one mission and one mission alone: to chronicle the high adventures of the Hyborian Age by the power of heavy metal.

In a savage union of screaming guitars, thundering bass, pounding war drums and echoing battlecries, the war-party known as ’Vanquisher’ has come to unleash the merciless, thrashing power of heavy metal upon the world and begin a new age of barbarism.

Ready your axes, broadswords and shields as you are taken to ancient lands of swords and sorcery, where once Robert E. Howard?s mighty Conan of Cimmeria roamed, treaded the jewelled thrones of the earth and saw the shining kingdoms of the Hyborian Age. Come hear the tales of the somber hills and trees of Cimmeria; the shadow-guarded tombs of Stygia in the south and the great Aquilonia, proudest kingdom in the dreaming west, among other things..

Face Vanquisher and enter the Hyborian Age.
