Against Civilization, by Apocryphos

Against Civilization

by Apocryphos

supported by

bozsoi This album is perhaps more more ambient than Apocryphos' other works, but a compelling piece nonetheless. The atmosphere of the songs draw you in and keep you captivated throughout the whole album, which oozes with the themes of isolation, pale gloom and persisting lethargy. Favorite track: Altschmerz.

Mick Buckingham (Muttley SV) Good and amazingly well detailed sonic explorations of the guitar instrument, with a crushing, decompressed bricolage-au-fait that likens the product to the music of Barn Owl and Jack Rose.

DarkDom à écouter pour voyager dans des contrées inconnues Favorite track: Heartsick.

Hellschreiber This guitar-driven dark ambient album provides the perfect soundtrack to the self-isolation apocalypse… the music is a haunting, melancholic blend of atmospheric ambience and field recordings, and listening to it makes you want to stay inside, turn the lights off and escape from everything. Favorite track: Heartsick.

about

Finally, we see Robert C. Kozletsky return with a dreary and guitar driven follow up to 2016's Stone Speak. Against Civilization is where Robert takes a different sonic path. Vastly different from past releases, but still wrapped in the solemn sound Apocryphos is known for.

Civilization is a curse. Your head hangs heavy in the windowpane as you gaze upon the dregs of society. It soon collapses and nature turns feral. Those desperate to cling to their hollow idols fall silent, eyes sunken. They are not there. They have abandoned us. They are against civilization...

Features stark and captivating artwork by Erik Osvald and a 12 page booklet with extended artwork and text emphasizing the turmoil within the music. Close friend and fellow collaborator Pär Bostrom (Kammarheit, Cities Last Broadcast, Hymnambulae) makes an appearance on two tracks.

Recommended for long nights, rainy days and fans of cold and emotional soundscapes

Beautifully dark album, filled with emotion and imagery. My first from this artist and will not be my last. sageraven71

Silent Annihilation
by ANIHILA

supported by 148 fans who also own “Against Civilization”

What Eusebes throws into the mix however, is the kind of sound that you might hear when one spaceship docks with another, a kind of vigorous thump that goes way beyond straining superstructure. I felt that this was an introspective track, but one that creates the feeling of something coming. A bit like being alone in your house and thinking you hear a door opening downstairs, but on a space-station, with ships and time-warps. darkcasey

Original Soundtrack

In the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2020

Dreamy ambient from Tokyo's Betts(JP) that captures the impermanence of emotion in elegant washes of synth and field recordings. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 14, 2022
