Conception is a Norwegian progressive power metal band from Raufoss, originally active from 1989 to 1997, during which they released four studio albums. The band reunited in 2018, twenty years after originally disbanding, has since released one studio album and an EP.

The band began when guitarist Tore Østby joined three local musicians, who were playing covers of metal bands for their own enjoyment. Tore ended up getting ambitions of beginning his own work and started writing original material. Around the same time, the band acquired Dag Østby as their vocalist and the band named themselves "Redrum". The band was active for only a few months before the three local members left abruptly. Tore and Dag recruited Werner Skogli as the band's drummer as well as Tranberg alumnus Freddy Samsonstuen for bass guitar. With a fresh new line-up, Tore chose the band's name "Conception", for which their first rehearsal on 5 November 1989 began the foundation of the band, continuing to practice and refine their sound.

Conception disbanded in 1997, and after that Roy Khan was invited to join American symphonic power metal band Kamelot as their new lead singer. He went on to release several albums with the band, before departing in 2010 due to health issues, and retiring from music indefinitely. Østby devoted his focus to Ark, a progressive metal band he had formed in 1999 along with Jørn Lande and John Macaluso. They disbanded in 2002 and reunited from 2009 to 2011. Ingar Amlien formed the death metal band Crest of Darkness, who have released six studio albums as of 2018, and remain active. Drummer Arve Heimdal retired from music in 1999, making a one-off return for the band's 2005 reunion.

Conception reunited in 2005, playing the important American prog metal festival ProgPower USA on 16 September and Norwegian Scream Magazines 15 Years & 100 Issues Festival on 1 October, bringing the final five-man line-up together again.

In April 2018, rumours began circulating that the band were planning a comeback, after reports of rehearsals in Gjøvik, followed by fan photos of the band together. Just a few days earlier, lead singer Roy Khan had posted a new track to his personal YouTube channel, his first known recording since 2010. This track, however, had no connection to Conception.

A few weeks later, the band officially confirmed their reunion via their official Facebook site, and announced the recording of a brand new EP titled My Dark Symphony which was released on 23 November 2018. The reunion included the classic four-piece line-up, with Heimdal and Khan both coming out of retirement. Following the release of the EP, the band performed two reunion shows in Gjøvik, Norway in late April, before setting out to perform at three European festivals over the summer of 2019.

On 20 February 2020 the band announced their fifth studio album State of Deception, which was released on 3 April 2020. The first single off of the album, "Waywardly Broken" was released on 6 March 2020, along with an accompanied lyric video. The band released a music video for their song "No Rewind" on 22 May 2021. On June 6, 2021, the band announced that they would be releasing an expanded edition of State of Deception in 2022, featuring live tracks, re-recordings and new songs. They also announced the release of the single, "Cry", which was recorded live. On February 5, 2022, Conception released "Monument in Time", a song which was featured on the deluxe edition of State of Deception.

The band had originally announced on 1 July 2019 that they would be embarking upon their first European headline tour in twenty-three years in April of the same year the new album was released. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band had postponed the tour into 2022. After the European tour, Conception had performed an exclusive North American show at ProgPower USA XXI in June 2022. On 9 September 2022, the band reissued their first four albums.

On 1 July 2025, Khan had stated in an interview that the band had written a few songs for the next album.
