Apocalypse was a Swiss thrash metal band formed in the early/mid '80s touring with high-profile acts such as Metallica when they were getting their music act together back in Switzerland. They recorded two full-length albums, this one (self-titled) and 'Faithless,' both of which are considered rare, thrash masterpieces by many fans.
Now, this album is certainly very nice. The guitar riffs and solos are speedy and heavy while the vocals are . . . different, compared to many high key-hitting metal vocalists from this time--yet vocalist Carlos Sprenger didn't have that thrash voice either. It's different, and it can easily be likable or turn you off from the actual music. If it happens to turn you off by any chance, listen to how great the music is in general--it's fantastic! Like I've said, the solos are speedy and heavy and the drumming is actually very nice. This album is certainly melodic in some senses that -might- leave you wanting more. Check them out.LINEUP:
