The creation of apocalypse now |
The creation of Apocalypse Now was one of the usual ways that
bands get together and started through friendship, fun and a
love for loud rock music whether it is in the form of Hardcore
or Metal. Based in Paris, the band started out like most bands
by getting together and rehearsing in a garage where the band
would take two of their favourite genres of heavy music, NYHC
and Thrash metal and fuse them together to
generate a truly colossal sound that spits venom and aggression.
Under the original name of Forest In Blood, the band soon started
playing shows to packed crowds in Paris and the surrounding
suburbs where their name spread like wildfire which led to the
band releasing a MCD as the demand
for their music grew. After 2 years of hard work destroying
HC and Metal crowds all over France and building a strong base
of dedicated followers, the band still under the name Forest
In Blood, released the album “What A Wonderful World”
which was distributed through Overcome Records.
With a live show that was intense and crushing and a new album
that had evolved to new extremes the band set about touring
and playing shows with the likes of Napalm Death, Madball, Anthrax,
Hatebreed, Born From Pain and many more and delivered devastating
performances all over France, Belgium and Poland. With newfound
fans and with a hard work ethic, the band found themselves to
be at the forefront of the underground Metal and Hardcore scenes
in France and with fans loyal to them around Europe their name
and status rose to a new level.
With the addition of some new members, the band felt that
a name change would be appropriate and are now known as Apocalypse
Now, although the music has not changed and the attitude and
intensity is the same, as the band prepare to unleash their
debut album for Dutch HC label GSR.%
With a stronger sound than ever before, their album titled
“Confrontation With God” is 10 anthems of destructive
and powerful Thrash Metal with NYHC influences, which surpass
their previous work and only increase the crushing force that
they had delivered before as the songwriting has evolved and
matured. Apocalypse Now is ready to conquer and obliterate
all in it’s path with their calculating and crushing take
on HC influenced Thrash Metal and will see their legions of
followers grow as the band set out to take over Europe and beyond.
2006 will see a new reign of power from these thrash heroes…
