In the past I was fond of metal and one day by chance, a friend of mine, made me listen to the single “After Twenty Years of Silence”. The song caught my attention straight away and I got wrapped by a high-powered sound that awakened in me deep emotions. It was like an ancient and prehistorical sound, as the voice came from a distant, dark past, but familiar and well known, somehow. I found myself therefore to feel different emotions like restlessness and pressure but a great calm at once, like a little inner peace… it was like the music was telling me that everything made sense, I mean the world around me, my conflicting emotions, myself.
It was an intense experience!
I must say that Apocryphis have been able to let me appreciate and rediscover a genre always very captivating.

Long ago I received a call from a band willing of recording black metal songs. I was intrigued because I didn’t know them.
When Apocryphis were in the recording studio and we started to work together, we eventually had a good understanding straight away which led us towards an explosive, cold music, a one of a great impact. I had the chance to musically know them, even in terms of feelings, always very consistent with their music.
I advice this band to anyone who wants to get closer to anything unconventional. Even the whole multimedia material is very complete and it leads and supports listeners to their both stylistic and thought picks.

I discovered black metal in 1998 thanks to Dark Funeral. I keep listening to and appreciating this genre since than, especially the one of the first period.
I personally know Apocryphis and when they told me about the intention of recording and releasing their work, I was curious and waiting for the final task because it consisted of the first songs they composed long time ago. The outcome has been superb, as I expected… both technical and aptitude sides. This is a pure unholy italian black metal!!
I could hear Burzum, Emperor and Darkthrone influences… they’ve been able to make me live again the black flame emotional state of the golden age.

I met Lop and Closed long time ago. The passion for black metal led them to form their own band.
A few years back they contacted me because they intended to record an EP, asking me some advise to realize it as best as possible. In the past I used to listen to black metal a lot, but I’d like to make clear that it’s not the genre I prefer.
I started then to follow the progress of their tracks and to give tips regarding the rhythmic structures and the speed for each song; after that we recorded drums played by Lop in more than one demo version in such a way as to optimize their future recording studio session.
And thus “Your Church is Burning” was created, which is the Apocryphis EP debut, a perfect, sharp and never predictable “old school” black metal.
I’m really happy to have taken part of the development of this work.

I know Closed and Lop for decades. They instilled in me their great passion for music.
I witnessed their stylistic development and their way to establish theirself on black metal genre which has transformed their life becoming Leitmotiv.
They are determined to repay what they received by providing continuity to this genre so that it could be a motivation, a discovery and a life style for many people.
In my opinion, it has been astonishing to realize how anyone can appreciate their music, even those who usually don’t listen to black metal, it could be thanks to their approach, to their distinctive and personal characteristics which form and define the sounds they create. A thrilling dimension.

One of my big passion is playing and listening to music.
Within my listenings regarding my music background, black metal was one of them, definately a secondary genre on my playlist, but it often showed up and I used to appreciate it in my everlasting research of new forms of artistic expression.
I got to know several very interesting bands, especially from Norway, that appeared and expanded on the early 90’s.
The excitement of those gloomy times, soaked with a fascinating, mistyc aura, has emerged with the Apocryphis.
They will do very well. Their music is a reminder of the first Emperor, a fast black metal with keyboards and a devil voice, it’s certainly a journey to undertake.

I’m not a musician, just a fan of metal, especially extreme metal. Therefore, I assess
music based on the emotions it stirs within me. I found the Apocryphis project
awesome; I felt the same sensation as when I listened to an album from the golden era
of black metal... with good production, at last.
The website is far from trivial; it’s really well-made and instantly conveys the band’s
concept letting you know they’re not just kids playing at rebellion. There’s a deep
thought and reflection behind it, it’s not just something threw out to shock. The “News”
area is interesting, too.
Apocryphis music is very cleverly composed and structured. The different sections of
the songs blend well, you never get bored while listening and never want to skip. The
voice reminds me Onielar, the Darkened Nocturn Slaughtercult singer, because it’s evil,
turning out really spooky.
In short, it’s been a wonderful discovery.

why we exist

The only reason we exist is to play black metal!

This genre had an impressive effect on us and it always will! That’s the reason why we want to share it with you and with as many people as possible, because it’s got an immense charm which mustn’t be undiscovered.

We’re not just doing it by playing, but also by talking about this genre, so we’re able to suggest different bands and albums to listen to… allowing you to share it to someone else yourself with real passion.

We want moreover, to disclose our philosophy to you through black metal to make you wonder about how misleading the clerical world’s way of thinking and acting is.

We want to create a single unified force, making you feel actively involved in a vision that cannot remain limited or divided, but must spread and take shape.

It’s a good time, it’s even showed by statistics that prove the progressive distance of the believers from the Church... right now we want to do much more, speed up the process! If the Church would really have an important message to offer, it shouldn’t make any compromises to attract the believers.

Consider our black metal and our thoughts as something far deeper... true and genuine essence of life, with the purpose of getting you to join all those who have already decided not to kneel anymore, not to submit to the others’ will.
