Apocryphon the sword rar

Cronise on guitar and vocals, Kyle Shutt on guitar, and Bryan Richie on bass and keyboard. The original drummer, Trivett Wingo left due to the pressure and anxiety of it all. With that being said, having a full team on board, this is their most polished and heaviest album so far with no dull moments. The lyrics are intentionally written from their own experiences, struggles and where they are mentally and physically today. The lyrics end up being mythological, poetic and full of surreal dark imagery.

All that has been shall be again. The dead will rise and the living must depart. When the veil is from your eyes. And you face the infinite with fear in your heart? Not all beauty means happiness and not all power and money means complete serenity. Beneath all the makeup, costumes and designs there is real beauty. This track has impeccable guitar solos and jams between the lyrics. The lyrics remain dark and metaphysical. The drums and guitar riffs remain up tempo that you just want to headbang all the way through this song.

The next track, Execrator briefly opens electronically. The rest of the song is simply fun, crunchy and great to listen to. The title track is my personal favorite. It has a dramatic electronic intro which makes you crave more.

In fact the band as a whole has grown a lot stronger. They stick to their guns and never lose sight to where they want to be. The sword will slash its way to the top. They have great potential to become huge. Listening to "Cloak of Feathers," his vocals feel more powerful and substantial, and with the frontman feeling more in command, everything else seems to follow suit.

The bottom line here is that for all of their tweaks and changes, the Sword are still a band all about massive riffs and epic lyrics, and while other bands might be more structurally complex or aggressive, few can offer the instant cosmic journey that dropping the needle on Apocryphon can.
