The Order of Apollyon - Moriah 2

Music News: The Order of Apollyon premiere live video for the track Trident Of Flesh

French black/death metallers The Order of Apollyon reveal live video for the song Trident Of Flesh, taken from the band’s third studio album Moriah.

Moriah was released on Agonia Records. The video was recorded at Ascension Festival 2019, which is held in Iceland. Watch the clip here:

 

The Order of Apollyon was formed in 2008 by then Aborted members, guitarist BST (ex-Aosoth, VI) and drummer Dan Wilding (Carcass). Over the course of two studio albums, “The Flesh” (2010) and “The Sword And The Dagger” (2015), the band forged themselves a distinct path through death and black metal soundscapes, that evoke of Behemoth or Mgła, but with and edge towards French black metal in the vein of Aosoth or VI. After a line-up reconfiguration, forced by Wilding’s transition to Carcass and conflicting schedules amongst remaining members, the band’s French roots gained the upper hand.

BST started off new and recruited veterans of his native black metal scene, including members of Temple Of Baal, Hell Militia and Merrimack. Their third album “Moriah”, released last year on Agonia Records, is a testament to the new line-up, which introduced stability and evoked deeper levels of teamwork within the band. It is, without a doubt, the most coherent, mature and creative work the band ever put out.

The mysterious band are BST  and SR on guitars and vocals with AK on bass and vocals and JZ on drums.

  • Owner/Editor/Writer/YouTuber - Heavy Metal and reading, two things I have always loved so they are the two areas you will find most of my reviews. Post apocalyptic is my jam and I always have a book on the go and have for decades now. From a metal perspective, age has softened my inadequacies and I now operate with an open mind, loving many bands from many sub genres but having a particular admiration for the UK underground scene. In my other time, when not focused on Dad duties and work, I try to support the craft beer movement by drinking as much of it as I can and you will also find me out on the streets, walking. I love walking, I love exploring new places and snapping nature photos as I go.
