Albums
- The first Final Conflict album, Redress the Balance (1991), was based around a loose ecological concept. It seems to have been recorded piecemeal over the course of several months, which may explain the large number of musicians involved.
- The second album, Quest (1992), is inspired by the case of crossword compiler Leonard Dawe, who in 1944 inadvertently leaked code words from Operation Overlord in a Daily Telegraph crossword. The album is about an ordinary man like Dawe imagining he is on trial for the failings in his life. The CD booklet included a prize crossword puzzle.
- The third album, Stand Up, was delayed by the bankruptcy of the band's original label, finally appearing in (1997). Again the album is 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.
- After a long hiatus the band released a fourth album, Hindsight, in 2004. At the same time it was announced that the band was to be officially renamed FC.
