In 2011 Hyperborean released their debut album "The Spirit of Warfare" through Abyss Records. And now some two years later their sophomore full length effort "Mythos of the Great Pestilence" is ready to be unleashed upon the world. Mythos was recorded through April and May of 2013 at the Endarker studio with Magnus "Devo" Andersson, of Marduk fame, engineering the production. And With Fredrik Widigs once again handling session drums for the album. As an album "Mythos of the Great Pestilence" is a great improvement over "The Spirit of Warfare". It is more mature, complex and technical but also more composed and focused. Lyrically the focal point has shifted in new directions from war driven themes of the debut to new themes with the Black Death that devastated 14th Century Europe as the albums main subject of interest. "Mythos of the Great Pestilence" will be released in late 2013 by Abyss Records.

After a series of well-received demos, Sweden's HYPERBOREAN have produced a 47-minute masterpiece of symphonic/melodic blacked majesty with The Spirit Of Warfare. Inspired by the heroic battles fought during World War I and Leonidas' legendary stance at Thermopylae, HYPERBOREAN's debut is an epic and welcome contribution to the genre. Apochs.net is currently streaming two selections from the album at this location, but this is one release that needs to be experienced as a whole.

Making their hammer-fisted introduction to the metal community, Netherlands-based warmongers BODYFARM lay waste to everything in sight with their brutally violent, self-titled EP. Capturing the essence of BOLT THROWER, ASPHYX and PESTILENCE, these young lions roar just as loudly as the old-schoolers that influenced them. Visit Apochs.net for a couple of skull-cracking tunes from the EP.

Hyperborean was formed in August of 2000 with the intention of playing melodic extreme metal. The band recorded two demos Of Malice and Thorns Scar Her Soul with basically the same line-up and they were well received by the underground media.

After the early demos Hyperborean's line-up changed, and with that so did the band's sound when Andreas camePublicar mensagem into the picture. The soon music took a darker and more aggressive path. A third demo, Prey, was made in 2005 and after that the band was put on hold for a few years. Although on hiatus, the members of Hyperborean were still writing material and those songs eventually became the foundation for The Spirit of Warfare, which was recorded in August of 2009. And now, with the help of Abyss records Hyperborean are ready to release their fury upon the world.

The Last Stand of Leonidas and the Battle of Thermopylae

A New Sun Rises

Killing Grounds

The Sick Man of Europe

The Spirit of Warfare is an album that is driven by the theme of warfare. The main focus lies on World War I, with Weapon Mankind being written about the mentality that dominated Western European Civilization at this time.  Occurring, as it did, at the twilight of the Post-Westfaldic period that saw a Europe divided between various rivaling empires. Europe was a powder keg ready to explode and  her nations and peoples were eagerly awaiting and welcoming the explosion.

In the late summer of '09, drummer Quint Meerbeek drove guitarist/vocalist Thomas Wouters home after Thomas did a gig with his previous band in Rotterdam. Not content with the band Thomas played in at that time, he asked Quint if he was interested in forming a brand new no-nonsense death metal formation. A few days later the two of them hooked up for a few beers to talk some shit over, and a week later they met in the rehearsal room. This combination seemed an instant success, and BODYFARM was born, hailing from their beloved hometown of Amersfoort. Heavily influenced by bands like Grave, Vomitory, Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Massacre, Vader, and many others, they decided NOT to be a specifically innovative, technical or refreshing band: "We play plain death metal, and have fun while doing it. As long as it's aggressive, catchy, groovy and raw we are good with it. We are not doing something new, we're just doing what sounds good to us and try to keep it relatively primitive. Our only message is to enjoy death metal the way it's supposed to sound" .. .. BODYFARM is rehearsing weekly, working hard on their repertoire. Thomas and Quint decided to be the rock solid foundation, and creative force of the band to make sure BODYFARM will always keep it's unique but recognizable sound. "So we went looking for musicians who wanted to play with us live, and eventually found them. Bram as a guitarist, and Mathieu, a bass player. Both experienced and fast learning musicians, and that is exactly what we're looking for" BODYFARM is working hard on composing new songs every week to thrash with a worthy setlist. With succes! They have shared the stage with bands like HAIL OF BULLETS, HOUWITSER, and many others, and working hard on their live reputation. If you are interested as a band to do a gig with us, or are you a venue who wants us to play? Contact us! .. .. BODYFARM just finished recording their first CD . BODYFARM is currently signed with ABYSS RECORDS, so stay tuned for what's more to come..
