Trespasser Stoke the Revolutionary Fires of Black Metal on “ἈΠΟΚΆΛΥΨΙΣ”

From Invisible Oranges

In February, Sweden’s Trespasser released a scathing statement on debt by flipping Biblical themes and reviving thousand-year-old poetry to mirror modern political ailments. ἈΠΟΚΆΛΥΨΙΣ is the duo’s second album, and though its ambitions are lofty, its sound is anything but. Trespasser, comprised of composer/instrumentalist XVI and vocalist Dräparn, prefer clear production quality and blunt force, the latter of which reflects their anarchist ideals. They repurpose the urgency often found in hardcore punk into a meaty yet triumphant barrage that’s outgrown their former black metal distinction.
