Conception (band)

Conception is a power/progressive metal band formed in Norway in 1989 by Tore Østby, Dag Østby Werner Skogli, and 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 classical trained opera vocalist. Their somewhat short-lived career (the band disbanded in 1997-8) was characterized by a unique dinstinct sound on the power/progressive metal genre which was slightly altered with their last studio release, Flow.
