A new force is awakening, stretching the boundaries of consciousness, and devouring everything in its path. IN APHELION is now ushering in their sophomore album, “Reaperdawn”, which is due on August 9, 2024 via Century Media Records.
The Βlack Μetal brainchild of guitarist/vocalist Sebastian Ramstedt (best known as guitarist and songwriter with NECROPHOBIC), is now unleashing an official video for new single, “A Winter Moon’s Gleam”, directed by Henrik Hedberg.
Darker, stranger, more epic and progressive than admirers of his work were expecting, this new outlet for enigmatic and artistic expression emerged firmly tethered to the white-knuckle viciousness of benchmark, Northern European Black Metal, while also exhibiting a profound affiliation with both classic, traditional Heavy Metal and the black magic of psychedelic repetition. Based around a core line-up of Ramstedt (guitar/vocals), drummer Marco Prij (also CRYPTOSIS), rhythm guitarist Johan Bergebäck (NECROPHOBIC) and bassist Tobias Cristiansson (NECROPHOBIC, ex-GRAVE), IN APHELION have taken the uncompromising DIY route to their current status as new Century Media signees.
The atmosphere of “Reaperdawn” is a swirling maelstrom of obsidian sparkle and iridescent grime.
