Both 3-disc collections "Conquest of Kingdoms" and "Chronology 2006-2018" are set to be released simultaneously on June 5th. Were sent the following details about both:
"Conquest of Kingdoms", an three-disc vinyl collection of rarities and oddities, offers 30 tracks (16 previously unreleased) and is housed in a triple-gatefold package, including B-sides, oddities and live recordings of fan favorites like "Freya," "Iron Swan" and "Fire Lances of the Ancient Hyperzephyrians," as well as cover versions of "Immigrant Song" (Led Zeppelin), "Nasty Dogs and Funky Kings" (ZZ Top), "She" (KISS), "Forever My Queen" (Pentagram) and more. A truncated digital version will also be available.
