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.

 Outstanding improvement from the last few albums! July 29, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
 these guys are primed for some serious rump-kicking August 29, 2008

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.
another amazing show of musicianship October 8, 2008

When I first heard these guys I knew they had some serious talent on their shoes -- what?--, and this cd, to my incredible un-disappointment, has been such an amazing testament to that hunch. this record is hard, fast, creative, melodic, and full of foot-stomping awesomeness that will get your adrenaline flowing like white water rapids. no joke. I love this band, and I love this cd. CHECK IT OUT!!
quite good...but not great. August 21, 2008
I would say that War of Ages excels in almost every area of musicianship. they are surely one of the top bands out there in this genre. I would say, however, that I am a bigger fan of the first cd they put out--the original not the re-recording. Whether it is the difference in members in the band or just the extra divine illumination they received on their self-titled release, a little is to be desired in the past two of their releases. On its own though, this cd is pretty darn good, and still reveals the possibility of a bright future.
