The Netherlands’ APOPHYS Signs To Metal Blade Records; Features Members Of GOD DETHRONED, DETONATION

Apophys has signed to Metal Blade Records and plans to release their debut album, Prime Incursion, in 2015. The band boasts members of renowned Dutch bands including: God Dethroned, Prostitute Disfigurement, Detonation and Toxocara. Apophys formed in 2012 and have since been surgically carving their path in the modern death metal scene. Apophys prioritizes song structure above technicality, and strives to become part of the new standard in death metal. Response from fans to the 2013 demo material was overwhelmingly positive and the album promises to be one of the best technical death metal debuts of 2015.

"A word derived from Apophis, the near-Earth asteroid that caused a brief period of concern because initial observations indicated a probability that it would hit Earth on April 13th, 2029. A collision of immeasurable proportions.

"The thought of our planet floating through a galactic minefield makes me think about how frail our existence really is. And where some might consider this to be a negative and demotivating thought; I used this realization to create something truly apocalyptic. A full self-sufficient death metal machine in which I as a person am frail, but as part of this more powerful than ever. This is Apophys. We are coming." -Kevin Quilligan
