Apocalypse - Cemetery

The final track off Apocalypse's self-titled 1988 album. This song is an absolute thrash hidden gem, and the riff that kicks in at 3:20 is mind-blowing.

Apocalypse, from Swizterland, home to prog-thrash legends Coroner actually toured with Metallica a lot in the early 90s, they released a second album in 1993 but that appeared to get no acclaim whatsoever, at which point Apocalypse split-up.


Yet another very proficient, tight and musically entertaining thrash metal band that never quite made it on the scene

Thanks for uploading this!!! For the last 20 years that outro section has got stuck in my head every now and then with no hope of ever owning it on record again. Thank YOU!!!!

A forgotten classic! Great melodic speed metal; sounds like DRIFTER on their "reality turns to dust"-album.

I can't believe this fucking song every time I hear it.

First heard this on a "Speed Kills But who's dying" compilation, promptly bought this album. Great, great riffing, just never quite came to terms with the singing. But really is, as you say, a gem.
