APOKALYPTIC RAIDS (Bra) – ‘The Pentagram’ CD

Their fifth album. A veritable underground institution, APOKALYPTIC RAIDS have become a hallowed name among diehards the world over for one simple-but-special fact: they started as an unapologetic Hellhammer-worship band (and very early Celtic Frost, too) but have transcended their obvious influences into something that actually adds to that legendary canon rather than merely ripping it off. And, as of this year, they’ve been gloriously succeeding for 20 years now.
