APOCALYPSE - FAITHLESS
A RIPPING FIESTA.
Here, if anywhere, we have a truly obscure little jewel. Apocalypse was a swiss band that appeared during the late eighties when thrash metal was the coolest thing to play. They released a self titled debut album in 1988 and disbanded soon afterwards. But out of nowhere their second album "Faithless", recorded around 89-90, appeared on the face of earth in 1993. As you may guess, it didn't exactly sell gold. It should have done, though, because this is marvellous thrash metal. Apocalypse treats us with an american kind of thrash, comparable to Lääz Rockit or a slightly more aggressive Anthrax (Belladona-era). Razor sharp riffing fills this release and things really get going around the title track. A ripping fiesta that should have been a classic had there been any justice in this unfair world of ours. Listen, Pantera, and learn the art of fuckin' shredding! One or two of the songs may drag a bit, but the rest of them more than make up for that. For everyone suffering from lack of agressive thrash with a melodic touch, this is the cure. It's name is "Faithless" and it's delivered by Apocalypse.
