Apoplexy are a band from Slovakia that plays an atmospheric and melodic mixture of black, doom and death metal and this is a review of their 2023 album "Destiny" which was released by HladoHlas.
Atmospheric and symphonic sounding keyboards start off the album and also mixes in with the heavier sections of the songs at times. Acoustic guitars are also added on some of the tracks while the faster sections of the songs also add in a decent amount of melody and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
All of the musical instruments on the recording also have a very powerful sound to them while spoken word parts can also be heard on a couple of tracks. The songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts along with the vocals also adding in a mixture of death metal growls and black metal screams.
Elements of doom metal are also added into the slower sections of the songs along with the music also adding in a lot of 90's influences. Clear vocals are also added into some parts of the album as well as the solos and leads also being done in a very melodic style, a couple of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and the album closes with an instrumental. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover dark, mythological and esoteric themes.
In my opinion Apoplexy are a very great sounding atmospheric, melodic and symphonic mixture of black, doom and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "In The Carpathian's Woods" "Morpheus" and "Mephistofeles". 8 out of 10.
