Indianapolis doom metal force APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE have completed work on their anticipated follow-up to the acclaimed Sincerest Misery album.

With the accolades the band have been getting in doom metal circles as one of the most promising doom metal prospects from the States, the band’s latest work of soul-stirring doom, entitled Last Sunrise, sees Apostle Of Solitude (in who some claim them to ne the heirs to the SOLITUDE AETURNUS throne) deliver their most emotionally driven and powerful work yet.

Formed by ex-GATES OF SLUMBER drummer Chuck Brown, who handles the vocal and guitar duties in Apostle Of Solitude, Apostle Of Solitude shall follow suit alongside their doom metal comrades in The Gates Of Slumber and will have more awareness spread even further within their homeland with Last Sunrise.

Nonetheless, Last Sunrise is a surging work of traditionally played hard hitting doom metal in the familiar vein of such bands as the aforementioned Solitude Aeturnus, CANDLEMASS, ST. VITUS, and THE OBSESSED (in which the band cover ‘Streetside’ on the North American version of Last Sunrise), you know the usual legendary suspects.

It’s an album that touches upon the realistic modern-day themes which confront our emotions through trials of grief, loss, and ultimately, inevitable despair.

The musical journey of Last Sunrise is an adventurous one and by the time the surging album closer ‘Coldest Love’ (a track quite reminiscent of the power that bands like WARNING unleashed with their Watching From A Distance album) falls upon the listener, the tale of the doomed lovers unravels as the inevitable end triumphs in pure doom metal glory.
