It’s hard to make this style sound fresh these days, but Apparition makes it look easy tbh. Their mix of fiery and doom laden death metal is performed to utter perfection. The songwriting is not only catchy, but earnest, and hits you right in the gut. As soon as I heard that forlorn riff near the end of Circulacate my mind immediately went to old school Katatonia (which is adore). The fact that it is a tribute to them in essence is a beautiful thing indeed
