Apostle of Infinite Joy

by Antipope

supported by

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.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
