Product Description After performing over 500 shows in the past 2 years and building their debut album Pride Of The Wicked from the ground up, War Of Ages teamed up with As I Lay Dying s Tim Lambesis to produce their highly anticipated follow up album Arise And Conquer . The result is an album finely crafted of 11 tracks that blur the lines between hardcore and metal much like the bands they have toured alongside of such as Soilwork, Throwdown, Bleeding Through, Terror and All Shall Perish. Arise And Conquer can clearly be seen as a testimony to the bands endurance, work ethic and arrival both lyrically and musically. Similarly Requested CDs

CD ReviewsOutstanding improvement from the last few albums! J. Briggs | 07/29/2008 (4 out of 5 stars) "War of Ages have come a far way since the original debute album, which was a very weak release. Fire in the Tomb was a great redemption for those songs and the band. Pride of the Wicked was even better. And this album showcases the band's improved skills across the board. Tight playing, great songwriting. Like the leads during breakdowns so it adds spice and flavor for all the metalcore haters. The screams are still more on the hardcore side but have improved and have a bit more brutality to them...but not much. My only complaint is the same complaint I have for all metalcore acts - they need cut out the clean speaking/singing parts. In rare cases can a band pull off doing both, All That Remains being one of the few cases. All though War of Ages does a good job of keeping it to a minimum. Anyways, this is a GREAT improvement for the band and it's also one of the better and more accessible metalcore releases this year. If you're a fan of As I Lay Dying you'll probably enjoy this seeing as it's produced by Tim Lambesis." The Best Metalcore Band At Their Best Media Lover | 05/11/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "If you're into heavy metalcore at all, "War of Ages" is not a band to miss. Leroy and the band are at what I call "top, TOP form" on this album I can only call classic WOA. Lyrically, these guys are keeping it smooth (as always) with songs about salvation, the consuming power of Christ, keeping the faith, and not heeding temptation. Even if you aren't a Christian, you'll sense a distinct and positive power in this music that's impossible to deny. I'm an avid listener, and I've yet to find heavy metalcore that radiates this kind of positive power. Musically, "WOA" is playing a bit further in the metal realm (less "Demon Hunter" more "Becoming the Archetype" meets "August Burns Red." Although, I hesitate to draw comparisons, because "War of Ages" is something completely distinct all by itself. BOTTOM LINE: If you like heavy metal, classical, brutally catchy hard rock all wrapped in a beautiful (Christ honoring) package, WOA will not only be your cup of tea but your crumpets and strawberries as well. OTHER RECOMMENDED ALBUMS: Any of WOA's other albums (each a masterpiece.) Messengers-August Burns Red Physics of Fire-Becoming the Archetype The Triptych-Demon Hunter With Roots Above and Branches Below-The Devil Wears Prada Wars and Rumors of Wars-The Chariot Lost in the Sound of Separation-Underoath" These guys are primed for some serious rump-kicking king beagley | warsaw, in usa | 08/29/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "right from the start, when these guys yell "All Consuming Fire", you know that it is going to be a slobberknocker. on this release, it sounds as if they are mixing melodic death metal with metalcore. I have been a fan of this band for two years and they really deliver the goods. they prove that you can be a Christian and still deliver a beatdown. they are uplifting just like their labelmates Flee The Seen. Facedown has a bright future ahead of them."
