„Apallic Decay rose from the depths of Hades in 2016 and have been carrying apallic decay into the world ever since. A mixture of Black/Death with progressive influences brings a versatile program to the stage and contributes intensively and sustainably to build up the neck muscles.“
Founded in 2016 by Fabian Wüst (Ex Dawn of Anger, Ex Tridentifer), an interesting mix of death metal riffing and progressive melodic parts developed under influences such as Enslaved, Dark Fortress, Lamb of God, Opeth and many more. Together with vocalist Anselm Vogler, this style got a good portion of black metal in the vocals, which altogether creates a powerful, varied mood. The intense shredding is rounded off by various creative solos.
