Against Civilization

by Apocryphos

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.

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
