CONQUEST OF STEEL In New Injury Shock
September 22, 2007, 17 years ago
UK power metallers CONQUEST OF STEEL have issued the following update:
Following an evening of heavy drinking with fellow band members, Conquest Of Steel guitarist DD Danger fell headlong down his house stairs after taking a drunken stumble at the very top of the staircase. The fall resulted in a badly sprained wrist, extensive bruising, cuts and slight concussion. DD was forced to miss the scheduled gig at York, UK Cert 18 (SEptember 15th) the following night; however the band continued to play on in his absence. DD’s wrist is now healing and he should be back in action for the Meltdown Metal Fest in Birmingham, UK on September 31st.
This incident follows drummer Chris ‘The Destroyer’ Mills breaking his wrist at the DOD festival in Ireland in June, and bassist Vic Victory breaking his collar bone earlier in the year. Is it possible that Conquest of Steel are cursed? Are the forces of mainstream music conspiring against them to halt their goal of playing the loudest most Heavy Metal music known to mankind?
Let it be known that none shall stop the Steel. Conquest of Steel will continue to battle on in the face of adversity, pitting themselves against the forces of nature and playing true heavy metal until the end of time."
