Apocalypse Orchestra - The End Is Nigh

Apocalypse Orchestra release the debut album The End is Nigh

Standing with one leg in medieval times and the other in modern metal, Apocalypse Orchestra weave their own special tapestry of music, uniting music from the past with the present.

The band was formed by musical partners in crime Mikael and Erik based in G�vle, Sweden. Inspired by their love for folk music and slow metal they decided to combine the two, incorporating melodies from as far back as the 11th century. The goal was to create a musical homage to a era long since gone.

The songs tell of flagellants, plague doctors, tales of hell, the meaninglessness of war and of suffering; they are all chapters in the bands grimoire. To balance it out they also shine a light on medieval art, science and enlightenment.

The Orchestra have played live on many occasions, including performing live with the G�vle Symphonic Orchestra.
