Their debut gig took place at The Snuggery in 2005, and they performed at various venues such as London Calling, Zeplins, Tempos and more, as well as larger events, like Motherfudd, Seasons Wither, and Grimfest.

A change was brewing due largely to the discovery of an international band named Chokehold. With a great opportunity for Chris to start a career in the USA, the name Chokehold was replaced by Conscript.

Hugo Pelzer, previous lead guitarist for Nelspruit Metal band C4, joined Conscript to firm up their already powerful sound adding new dual-guitar dynamics. Conscript have the services of Shane Pennicott, lead guitarist for South African Metal band AGRO [http://www.agro-metal.com] , assisting on bass while a suitable replacement for Chris is hunted.
