A review by
Baz Anderson February 18, 2010
Apothys make death metal interesting. The growled and snarled vocals sound brilliant, but the guitar work on this EP is the star of the show. Melodic and slightly over the top in a very Dethklok kind of way, the guitars really are wonderful. The solos in general, but the second half of "Cacophony Rising" has such a great thrash-tinged solo blasting back into death metal for more carnage. The CD only picks up more pace with the last song on the album leaving you quite astounded as to the quality of music we have here.
Advent: Doom is at the same time something that will appeal greatly to both avid and casual death metal listeners. It is accessible. Technical, melodic, crushing and wild; this will have you hooked and begging for more. The three songs almost reach a twenty minute total, but judging from this EP, Apothys have the ability and that spark it takes to create some genuinely top class metal. Saying these are a band to watch out for does no justice to the music, just listen to it yourself and see.

Nice review. It got me listening to their myspace songs and looking into the band. They really sound good, and Im not even a Death metal fan. Its just me or the vocalist has an acc here on MS...? Just wondering

@Dark_Blood, yes, I'm the vocalist. Eddie the guitarist and our bassist, Pyr (under the name "Kvltmaster") are on here as well. I thought this was a great review. Baz actually reflected exactly what we are trying to accomplish with our music. We want the most elitist bastards, people who don't really listen to the more extreme side of metal and of course our target audience to enjoy it . Thanks Baz, you rule. @Who'sRichard?, We love Jaxx, but we're always looking for other venues. Let me know if you have any in mind. Spread the word!

Good Review! I can't count the number of times I've seen Apothys play, and they're always a good show.

Thanks Broken Goddess. It's always good to see you at shows. We still need to head up to Maryland! Kurotenshi, we'll take all criticism. Glad you like the songs! We're all about balance so having the vocals stand out more than the rest wasn't our plan. It could be the myspace, but I don't hear them overbearing here though.
