Apophys – Prime Incursion (Metal Blade)
The intellect of man, and the fierce killer instinct of a predator. Death metal cannot be anymore lethal. We all know when science and brutality merge there will be a shortage of bodybags. \’Prime Incursion\’ doesn\’t waste any time with melancholic or orchestral intros; it\’s all guns blazing, all the time. It is just amazing to hear that, as the energy level shows no signs of letting up, there\’s always room for well thought-­out crazy twists. It makes these heavy slabs of metal sound fresh, and gives every song its distinctive face. The sci-­fi inspired lyrics also offer a breath of fresh air. Martijn Welzen
