The Story
IN APHELION could be the ultimate extreme metal adrenalin rush. It is the euphoric, black metal brainchild of guitarist/vocalist Sebastian Ramstedt (best known as guitarist and songwriter with Necrophobic).
Darker, stranger, more epic and progressive than admirers of his work were expecting, this new outlet for dark, artistic expression emerged firmly tethered to the white-knuckle viciousness of benchmark, Northern European black metal, while also exhibiting a profound affiliation with both classic, traditional heavy metal and the black magic of psychedelic repetition. The atmosphere of âReaperdawnâ is a swirling maelstrom of obsidian sparkle and iridescent grime.
IN APHELIONâs masterful blending of arcane blasphemy with grandiose, old school bluster has reached a new level of potency, as songs like momentous opener âThe Fields In Nadirâ and the woozily anthemic âWhen All Stellar Light Is Lostâ further subvert the black metal ethos; with superhuman blasting and skull-rattling thrash tropes underpinning some truly euphoric and inspirational surges of melodic malice.
