n the heart of Finland's thriving metal scene, Apocrypth has been leaving an indelible mark since 2012 with their potent blend of thrash and death metal. This year, the band takes a monumental step forward, announcing their debut album, "Down to the Crypt." Conceived at the dawn of a global pandemic, "Down to the Crypt" is not just an album; it's an odyssey into a post-apocalyptic world. Here, humanity has sought refuge in crypts to escape a series of global catastrophes, blissfully ignorant of the sinister secrets lying within. The album unfolds across 11 tightly crafted tracks, offering a seamless blend of crossover thrash and death metal. Fans were given a taste earlier this summer with the singles "Reign Forever," "Sands of Time," and "Sacred Decay," each serving as a testament to the album's thrilling versatility and cohesiveness. Every sonic detail has been meticulously attended to, thanks to the stellar production and mixing by Teemu Aalto (Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, Mariana's Rest), and mastering by Svante Forsbäck (Volbeat, Amorphis, Lost Society). If you've been seeking the thrills of Revocation, the artistry of Sylosis, and the ferocity of Skeletonwitch, look no further. Ready to dive into a world of apocalyptic tales and thrashing riffs? |
