{"product_id":"apocalypse-apocalypse-cd-71157601052","title":"Apocalypse - Apocalypse (Bonus Tracks) [Deluxe]","description":"\u003cp\u003eDigitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1988 album from the Swiss thrashers.  Apocalypse formed in 1984 and unleashed a five-song demo the following year, but the group didn't really pick up steam until the release of their self-titled debut album in 1988. As with most bands of that era, Apocalypse drew influence from the Bay Area thrash scene, and most notably Metallica - going so far as to enlist the talents of long-running Metallica producer, Flemming Rasmussen, to handle the engineering of their debut. A perfectly executed album, Apocalypse is chock full of intense riffs laid over a foundation of intricate and melodically-charged arrangements. The strength of the material comes as no surprise, given that the band spent several years fine-tuning many of the album's nine tracks. Originally released in 1988 by Out of Tune Records-a label owned and operated by female darkwave group, The Vyllies-Apocalypse seemed very much out of place on the roster, and without the support of a label completely devoted to the album's success, Apocalypse slowly dwindled towards obscurity. Five years would pass before Apocalypse would resurface with their sophomore album, Faithless, in 1993.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital Life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Tale of a Nightmare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrash!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF*#k Off and Die\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Night Before\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApocalypse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack to the Fire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Sword\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCemetary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBack to the Fire Bonus Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Tell You Lies Bonus Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDemon's Eyes Bonus Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF*#k Off and Die Bonus Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark Sword Bonus Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Knight Bonus Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"792","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50556269101352,"sku":"71157601052","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/3321792.jpg?v=1763981648","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/apocalypse-apocalypse-cd-71157601052","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
