  Roman usurper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Usurpers are individuals or groups of individuals who obtain and maintain the power or rights of another by force and without legal authority.
Usurpers were a common feature of the late Roman Empire, especially from the so-called crisis of the third century onwards, when political instability became the rule.
Successful usurpers were usually either provincial governors, commanders of a large grouping of Roman legions, or prefects of the Praetorian guard, which had control of Rome, where the Imperial palace still lay.

 Usurper
Usurper was formed in Chicago in 1992 by vokillist General Diabolical Slaughter and guitarist Rick Scythe.
Released in April 2003, "Twilight Dominion" was by far Usurper’s strongest album to date, showcasing their love of classic underground metal bands -- from Slayer, Celtic Frost and Venom to Cathedral and Bolt Thrower -- yet stamped with the band's own unique, defiant flair.
Throughout “Twilight Dominion”, Usurper erect their own universe of metal mythology by weaving together the myths and mysticism of various cultures with esoteric stories of the bizarre and total raging metal battle cries.

The Camoran Usurper had conquered Hammerfell and Valenwood by means of a large army, which by legend consisted entirely of undead and daedra, but was mostly composed of Redguards and Wood Elves.
In all probability, the Usurper summoned the daedra and undead in Arenthia and slowly replaced the original summoned creatures with the armies of his conquered territories.
News of the Usurper's barbaric treatment of captives and abuse of conquered lands, mostly true, spread rapidly through their territories, and then to other neutral lands.

The official word on Usurper’s influences are Bolt Thrower and Celtic Frost, and fuck me if that doesn't have it down cold.
Or consider Usurper to be a thrashier Obituary, stripped clean of the Tardy Brothers’ swampy roots and replaced with a darker, more metallic underbelly.
Carcass Chris and Rick Scythe are good hands on the guitar too, they add just enough doom and thrash influences to their overall deathly style of guitar playing to keep things from getting too pro-forma.

Chicago's Usurper has been grinding it out since the early 90's, when the band was formed, initially as a side project.
Their style heralds the best of underground 80's metal, evil and mean, but for prime influences, one need look no further than Celtic Frost.
Usurper has nailed the cult Swiss band's sound to a T, from the crushing mean guitar tone to the death grunts that Tom Warrior made famous almost twenty years ago.

Biography: USURPER formed in 1993 and released their first demo in 1994.
USURPER'S blend of 80's inspired thrash metal, classic heavy metal anthems, over-the-top chaos and hints of dark, melodic atmosphere have been a trademark of the band since day one.
Topics such as: werewolfs, monster folklore, alien invasions, ancient civilizations, ancient battles, cryptozoological creatures, hauntings, prophecies, time travel, and the paranormal are the essence of Usurper's words, which when combined with the music, and artwork create a strange fantasy world of dark heavy metal horror.

 Usurper - Black Metal   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Guitars are manacled in grisly distortion but perform intermediate duties in ranges from death metal pacing riffs to speedy fl metal bridges through Judas Priest-era bouncy rock riffs and narrative verses.
Harmonic motion is simple and de-emphasized, where rhythm under the lead of voice and guitar riff is the voice of the album.
For all that it does, there's a lot it doesn't do, and while Usurper is entertaining and dramatic these are its downfalls and its lack of appreciation for its own voice, which is stiffled under wandering phrases and pure dependence on rhythm to end a phrase at a certain note without dissipating its tonal potential.
