About Conception
Conception
The band was formed in Norway in 1989 by guitarist Tore Østby, singer Dag Østby, drummer Werner Skogli and bassist 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 Sætre Khantatat (Roy Khan), a classically trained opera singer.
Their somewhat short-lived career (the band disbanded in 1997-8) was characterized by a unique and distinct sound on the power/progressive metal genre which was slightly altered with their last studio release, Flow.
Conception was reunited in 2005, playing the important American prog-metal festival Prog Power USA 2005 (Friday September 16) and Norwegian Scream Magazine 15 Years & 100 Issues Festival (Saturday October 1), bringing guitarist Tore Østby (Ark), singer Roy Khan (now lead singer of Kamelot) and the rest of the band back together.

What fans are saying
Fabuleux, dans une salle intimiste avoir un groupe aussi talentueux est quasi inespéré. Un Roy Khan au top de son chant, très touchant et visiblement heureux d'être là avec son groupe d'origine, et devant un public de fan qui n'hésite pas a chanter en coeur les refrains, et apporter une chaleur humaine incroyablement bénéfique au succès de cette soirée a la maroquinerie. Le passage acoustique restera gravé dans ma mémoire par son intensité et l'émotion transmise par les musiciens qui étaient vraiment excellents ( dedicace viking au occitan le roi de la 6 cordes)
