ASCENSION OF THE WATCHERS · Apocrypha | CLEAR/BLACK 2LP

Deluxe double vinyl album on one black and one clear LP.

Background information about 'Apocrypha'

What a journey this has been! Ascension Of The Watchers have delivered something truly special with "Apocrypha" - an album that's been brewing for a whole decade, crafted across multiple continents from California to Wales. This isn't just another release; it's a testament to perseverance after the band got royally screwed by PledgeMusic's bankruptcy, losing all their crowdfunded money but refusing to give up on their vision. The industrial gothic rock sound here is absolutely captivating, showcasing Burton C. Bell's (yes, the Fear Factory legend) incredible vocal range in a completely different light.

The eleven tracks span across this double vinyl like chapters in a dark, atmospheric novel. From the haunting opener "Ghost Heart" to the epic closer "Sign Your Name", every song feels carefully placed and purposeful. Bell's voice soars over brooding soundscapes that blend industrial elements with gothic rock sensibilities, creating something that feels both familiar and completely fresh. The production quality is stellar - you can hear every nuance, every layered texture that makes this such an immersive listening experience.

For fans of: Type O Negative, Sisters Of Mercy, Fear Factory, and Paradise Lost
