Description

Black vinyl with insert

Septagon formed in 2013 when Lanfear guitarist Markus Ullrich teamed up with Atlantean Kodex vocalist Markus Becker with the goal of forming an old-school thrash band blending the aggression of Exodus, Slayer and Testament with the melodic approach of Forbidden, Heathen, Realm or Watchtower. They were joined by drummer Jurgen Schrank (also from Lanfear), bassist Alexander Palma and second guitarist Stef Binnig-Gollub. Thrash and power metal unite like never before in a socio-political firestorm that tests the mind and bangs the head. Septagon pushes subgenre boundaries with technical, yet catchy songs on Apocalyptic Rhymes that are rife with dashing melodies and stellar vocal interplay. The ten songs on Apocalyptic Rhymes was recorded across a variety of studios and produced by the band, Apocalyptic Rhymes is punctuated by a raw, but snappy production job. In turn, the album finds Septagon offering a variety of styles and flavours both musically and lyrically, from the punchiness of opener Weight of the World to the bass-driven Home, Sweet Hell up through the churning title track, where fiery guitar solos from Ullrich and Binning-Gollub and Becker s vocal acrobatics take form. Even as the album ascends into the spiralling melodic heights found on The Unfathomable Evil, it goes on the attack on P.O.T.U.S.A., a song inspired by Becker s time in America and is critical of the current presidential regime that has divided the country. Apocalyptic Rhymes eventually crests on the closing Sunset Blood, a lush, epic construct that allows Septagon to stretch out musically to include acoustic guitars, twin guitar harmonies and carefully-plotted vocal spots. An album sure to stand out among the dime-a-dozen traditional thrash and power metal entries, Apocalyptic Rhymes is an unapologetic bold step for Septagon, a band unafraid to not only push musical boundaries, but political and social ones as well.
