REVIEW FOR THE BAND
Apostisy has done a number of EP’s over the years, but unfortunately I haven’t had any luck of purchasing them. But then I found this one, their first fullength album. Musically we are moving in somewhat typical style of melodic yet heavy metal from America. Solid and heavy. Heavy riffings of the guitars with always one guitar crying out. The medium tempo of the album sounds pretty much the same all the way through. This might be a problem for some listeners, because somehow there’s no variety in the music, so it sounds like you are almost listening to one song all the way through. The album sounds pretty much melted together. There is nothing wrong with the music, but the build-up of the album could have been designed a little bit better in my opinion. But the sound is very good when you think about that this album is self-released. One other interesting features are that the band apparently comes from USA, but there are some members with Norweigan names and some tracks are named in Norwegian. So in my mind this band is still a total mystery. Well, time will tell. So a good album to be a part of the collection, and awakens enough interest that you want to know more of the band On this release, even if your a complete God hating bigot, you can overlook their Christianness, because it takes a very keen eye on the lyrics to even get a hint of it. And even then it's not readily apparent.Know how there are wonderful guitar grooves in a song you really like that is over entirely too quickly? This band doesn't have that problem. The main guitar section is predominant for a long time, typically not letting up for the duration of the song. Despite this, it never gets boring or repetitive. There are enough other guitar flavorings that keep it fresh. The music itself is brooding and dark, though not overly flamboyant. The closest comparison I can come up with is 'Bolt Thrower'. The key focus is the main guitar riff driving the majority of the song. Even though there are portions that deviate from it, the timing and beat hardly ever change. The monotone exhaustive sounding vocals adds a great feel to the overall flow of the songs.And yet, even with the Bolt Thrower comparison, there is a ever so slight flavoring with the keyboard at times. Sometimes, such as in the track 'And Thus It Was...' it comes only at the end to act as a closer to the song. In others, such as 'Snava Skogsstig', it opens the song, but its influence is minor. If you like trudging guitars with excellent groove in a death metal setting, you cannot go wrong here(http://www.holymetalrob.com/)
