Bart It's like if Nails had a depressive period. Fast and grindy with touch of hardcore influence, but then stares off into the abyss more than they'd like to admit. So if you like your extreme music taking from death, grind, black and hardcore....mushing it all together...you'll dig this. Favorite track: Coffin.

Ray The Revelator Adding elements of noise to their blackened grindcore sound has resulted in an exceptional signature sonic assault. Apes rule. Favorite track: Coffin.

nicolescadres Apes réussit à nous accrocher à chaque album, toujours une touche de nouveauté et de fraicheur. Du talent à revendre, les albums sont courts, parcontre il n'y a pas de superflu ni de longueur, ils vont à l'essentiel. Favorite track: Penitence.

flyingmachete Magistral! La violence pure! Rien ne m'avait marqué autant depuis le projet END de la bande à Putney! Chapeau bas les mecs!

YomaBarr This is just 24 minutes of music but it's so incredibly tight it can easily pass for 42'. Apes mastered their sound to pure distilled perfection. And I want the drummer to play at my funeral.

p.s. somebody take this away from me! can't stop listening!

Coffin 02:34
I COFFIN We came to this world feet first in dirt Those promises you were told, will never unfold This search for closure will always end up with harsh failure This life, a burden given at birth Born in a coffin / born halfway rotten Deception Calculating, cold Welcomes you into the fold Rejection Scars that never fade The deal already made I will stay here - watching you die From the womb to your doom A sermon for those with no tomorrow
2.
II THE GREAT FIRE Expiate the essence of suffering Until you start to truly feel This life, this very existence is an experiment through ache Catalyze fatality to ignite the Great Fire Catalyze pain to feed the flame Every second is another log brought to the stake Built it high so you could watch me burn from afar Let my torching body be your guide through the night Let my screams be the answer you were looking for Let me light the path that will lead you to some kind of closure Until the flames die and let you rot in total bleakness
3.
III SHADOW WALKER Every morning is the holder of future deceptions Every dawn is a reminder of what awaits when the sunset shows Eternal cycle of chasing something you can’t even describe Something that’s lurking in the shadow Dwelling in the twilight, where night and days seems to make one Slowly we forgot who we were End this journey where light seems to dodge us – I wish it never started May this night never end — and maybe the sun will forget us I choose to walk in the shadow Every dawn, every smile, every time something seems to shine Is only to show where the descent is Every dawn, every smile, every time something seems to shine I choose to walk in the shadow
4.
Closure 02:32
IV CLOSURE Gasping for a satisfying answer Searching for closure Searching for some kind of inner peace Glorify the voices that will ease their minds And light the burden of their existence No need for truth, no need for logic Just wash away the pain for a brief moment of peace If this world wants you dead, it will I’ll promise you Digested by reality Regurgitate the nightmare you create
5.
Echoes 02:49
V ECHOES This has come to an end Echoes of the past are reminders of eternal failure A growing thought of no tomorrow Feeds our sorrows A pitch black vision for days to come Holds the cold blue hand of your fate Put yourself out of this misery
6.
Vi BOTTOM FEEDER Begging to reach the surface Looking for a glimpse of light No helping hand to save you from this fluid coffin But I promise I will stay here with you as you choke on your own failures I will keep you close to me as you gasp to find peace with the past Deadweight — you, slowly losing grips on sanity Deadweight — submerged by your own mistakes in an abyssal miasma Bottom feeder

Penitence 03:28
VII PENITENCE Sweet misery You’ve consumed me whole from the inside out I’ve been devoured by your will Every single part of my body is yours I don’t live in this mass of flesh and skin anymore You’ve built your kingdom upon my bleached bones A cathedral for sorrows and torments You’ve set your kingdom among my bleached bones PENITENCE A sanctum where aches flourish This hollow carcass you’ve made your house with
8.
Pillars 03:38
VIII PILLARS Death, sickness and greed — the 3 pillars of mankind A flagrant lack of empathy for everyone around me Absolute hatred for my peers Only disgust for them I could watch this world burn for a lifetime This world is crumbling like loose earth Leaving beneath our feet the memories of days we’ll never know Hope is long forgotten Our dreams are asleep in a shroud made of centuries of mistakes Hope to see our species collapse as quickly as it plundered its own world The only tree we’ve reached the top of is the one where we will hang ourselves
