Apocalypse Orchestra – New single and music video
Apocalypse Orchestra is a Swedish metal band that masterfully blends medieval melodies
with the crushing power of doom metal, creating an epic and atmospheric soundscape that
transports listeners to a distant past.
Formed in Gävle, Sweden 2013, the band is known for fusing traditional folk instruments,
such as the hurdy-gurdy, bagpipes, and mandolas, with heavy, distorted guitars and thunderous
drums. With their debut album “The End Is Nigh” (2017), Apocalypse Orchestra quickly established themselves as a unique force in the metal scene. The album received critical acclaim for its innovative approach to storytelling, weaving together history, mythology, and existential
themes.
The band is now back with a new single called “Virago”, taken from their upcoming new album “A Plague upon Thee”.
With their second release, ”A Plague upon Thee”, they unearth new stories from the past, with
tales of walled in zealots, religion and science in medieval times, and the ransacking of hell!
Apocalypse Orchestra delivers memorable live shows where the band utilizes theatrical
performances, sometimes actors and dancers, fire and projected animation, thus enhancing the
experience, giving the show a feel of classic storytelling.
Their new single “Virago” along side a music video is out now! Their new album “A Plague upon Thee” will be released 14th February 2025.
