band bio

Birmingham, Alabama has a very dark history….
From the horrors of the Civil Rights movement to Eric Rudolph’s nefarious abortion clinic bombing
to the haunted legends of Sloss Furnaces.
It is, perhaps, this inauspicious influence that has inspired the hauntingly desperate music of the
progressive art rock musings of Birmingham four piece, apsis.

Since Halloween of 2005 apsis have crafted their sonic mix of sludge, post rock, and alternative
metal into the brooding, progressive soundscapes that can currently be heard on their newest
release “Only the dead came home”.

Intricate while retaining a minimalist approach, the band writes songs about loss, confusion and sad
endings that are somehow illuminated by the faint glimmer of hope.
Often overlooked because of their staunch refusal to follow the current cookie cutter trend of so
many “metal-core” acts, the band infuses their songs with honesty and emotion that soon wins over
even the most critical listener.
And though they have released two prior EPs to great fanfare, the band finds its real strength in its
Live Show.
Described as “Perhaps one of the most Important live bands you may never see” by MetalInFlux
webzine, apsis lays it all on the line with each and every live performance.
Sometimes playing the majority of their set behind an almost opaque curtain, the band encourages
their audiences to “hear” their music; to “feel” each note.

apsis is currently writing material for their upcoming CD release
"After tonight,...Everything changes."
