History

Formed in 2001 by the Whited brothers; Adam and Chris, before being named King Conquer, they were once known as A Horror Story, a metalcore band directed by these two before changing their name to King Conquer in 2006, along with their genre to a much more death metal inspired sound. King Conquer started playing local shows near their hometown of Naples, Florida, establishing a strong fan-base. During this time, they released 2 EP's, Welcome to Hell and Decomposing Normality. With their latest effort entitled, "America's Most Haunted", along with their recent signing to Mediaskare Records, the band has began to make a name for themselves. In 2010, they began touring on the No Mercy Tour, with deathcore band Suffokate headlining, promoting their new album.
