Beyond The Veil back
Rating: 9,5 / 10

This is the 3rd release from Black Attakk I review and here we have the divine, amazing Apokrypha!!! Their innovative and pioneering musical perception and performance astounds you from the very first riffs. Heavy, power riffs that progressingly change into deranged frozen black metal melodies! And please PAY ATTENTION here! I don't describe a band that plays heavy/power metal with black metal vocals or anything relevant. Apokrypha is an absolutely guitar based band, with no keyboard parts and focus their musical creations on frozen melodies created by their 6 string instruments. And they do an incredible work believe me! Their guitars are so perfect and have such a full sound, that there is no need to put any keyboards in there, not even in some short atmospheric passages. They have acoustic guitars there! The vocals have a black hue with a quite good and clear pronounciation (as this is possible for this branch), the drums surround us like a storm, the band bondage is excellent, the production superb and the chances for merciless headbanging too many! There is no need to say more for such a diamond. Listen to them anyhow!
