Albums Spiritual Cannibal (debut album)

Press Reviews This debut release begins with a spoken word track called "Catatonic" with lots of ambience and affects in which the words fade in an out as if floating/waving in the distance like a heat mirage. The album later builds into some more standardized EBM with their own branding of experimentation. One of the better EBM tracks here is "Replica", an instrumental.Apocrypho also makes use of a synthetic vocal distortion... It reminds me of some of the distorted synthetic vocal litanies you might find on a Pigface album. A good example of this is "Kneel". They have created a unique sound without defining themselves. At many times it sounds more like a soundtrack to something than a band's CD. The final, and title, track is a stark contrast to the rest of these works entirely with more of an ambient, tubular bells, gregorian feel. Lyrically it's hard to tell if their content is typical industrial diatribe or if there is a purpose here. "Blame" seems to be the song with the most actual meaning attached to it with lyrics like "Religious delusion causes anger and hate, Look inside yourself...But the time will come, When we all become as one". Overall there are a few solid tracks here but mostly it's experimental noise with vocals in which some of the "singing" comes through as though Apocrypho were speaking to you. Aside from the lyrics mentioned above it's not clear exactly what their main aim is, but there seems to be a purpose to them. Guess we'll have to wait and see what they come up with next. Maybe they just don't want anyone to "pigeon-hole" them as anything
