[1] The third album, Stand Up, delayed by the withdrawal of funding by the band's original record label, finally appeared in 1997.
Again the album was based on a loose concept, this time the stresses of modern living, culminating in the 15-minute epic, "Stop", about urban decay and the rise of violent crime.
Final Conflict's success was acknowledged in 2007, when they were nominated in 5 categories at The Classic Rock Society's Band Of The Year awards.
Metal Mind also released a special limited edition remaster of the band's classic album "Stand Up" which includes previously unreleased bonus tracks.
In December 2012 the band released their sixth studio album "Return of the Artisan", to extensive critical acclaim.
