Okay, we're thrilled to say that our mixing duties are done. We would like to thank Kris (CCR Studio) for the great cooperation. Mastering of the album is happening as we speak. Expect some fresh tunes on our Myspace page as soon as it's finished. The album itself will be entitled "Drenched in Grace" and it will be released in August. We'll keep you posted about an exact release date. Also, expect a totally renewed website, to be launched when "Drenched in Grace" comes out.
The artwork of the album is also completely done and it looks stunning. Thanks again to Optikal Design (formerly known as Eclipse Design) for the great cooperation. Here's what the album cover and tracklist look like:

No worries man, I'm always open to new bands.

Time for a little update:
T-SHIRTS
Finally they are in: the Apocryph T-shirts. They cost 12 euro and are available through our website (http://apocryph.deathmetal.be -> click on the merch-section) and at our shows. And believe me: they do look damn great. Even Da Hoff agrees.

DISMEMBER SHOWS
Some less good news: the 4-day minitour with Dismember that we were supposed to do end January has been slimmed down to only 2 dates (25/01 in Groningen and 26/01 in Weert). Apparently the Dismember management thought it wasn't such a brilliant idea to do 4 dates because the band will also come back for a full European tour with Hatesphere in February. So the German and Belgian date fell through. Anyway, it's still a great opportunity for us to play with these death metal legends.

DRENCHED IN GRACE
The sales of Drenched in Grace, our recently released debut mini-CD on RTTC, are going very well. So if you don't have a copy yet: don't wait too long!!! The CD's are still available through our website and at numerous shops and mailorders in our little country. Just get in touch with us for more info.
You can also check out some reviews on our website.

I really like your music. The similarity with Amon amarth is a compliment, I think. It means the growling sounds good and fake. The guitar solos are quite different from AA.
