History & Biography

Nice image! Born in 1992, barely a year later a demo was born called Creators Of Evil Thoughts (with Diabolos handling all instruments except drums, which were played by Lord Worros) and another demo followed a year later. Still frustrated, the black/death metal band split up in 1994. A reformed band recorded a demo in 1995 (Troldeskovens Aander featuring bassist Lennart Seemand) and with a sampler appearance on Full Moon Productions obtained a deal the result of which was the Diabolia Gratia MCD of 1998. This is one for fans of raw black metal.

Brandpest was also a black metal band.

Reviews

APOLLYON - DIABOLI GRATIA - FULL MOON
Also heard on the A Tribute to Hell MCD, the Danish infernal combo Apollyon (not to be confused with Thomas Fischer's new band) have now released a twenty minute MCD on America's FMP and judging by the contents the band plan on filling the void between the romantic early musings of My Dying Bride and the extremely underground blackness of old Greek black metal. The listener is treated to both spoken segments, keyboards, slow interludes, as well as mayhemic evil shrieks. It might sound schizophrenic, but the band sound convinced of their art and manage to deliver in both instances. Perhaps owing to the fact that the band, under different guises, has been in existence for nigh on seven years now. This is strictly for fans of the afore-described genres, so read the above carefully. - Ali "The Metallian"
