Eliud Vazquez Excellent album. This is what I imagine Sentenced might sound like today had they continued the style they had on the Amok album. Favorite track: Natural Born Heretic.

sam1oq Apostle of Infinite Joy is a brilliant mixture of catchy vocal hooks and melodic riffs, progressive drumming, lovely lead work on the guitar, and very tight, yet dynamic songwriting. Favorite track: Venereal Ritual for Dispersion and Reintegration of the Soul.

about

“Apostle of Infinite Joy”, Antipope's 5th full-length recording, contains 8 full-bodied tracks of moody, yet straightforward heavy metal in the vein of early 1990’s Scandinavian dark musicianship. Antipope effectively sweeps progressive rhythms wrapped in gothic doom towards the aggressive edges of black and death metal, making for delighted fans of all heavy metal genres. “Apostle of Infinite Joy” is loaded with gothic shade coherently balanced within traditional metal elements!
