A Master Class In Classless Acts

"Victim" is one of the heaviest and most personal songs we've ever written. It channels the frustration of watching someone close to you spiral—always blaming others and never taking responsibility for their actions. This track is for anyone who's fed up with the people around them refusing to own their mistakes and constantly pointing fingers.

Hit 'Em Where It Hurts

RIP (VOICES)

RIP (Voices)

"Darkest Days" marks the haunting conclusion to Apparition 10:01’s debut album 'CHRONOGEIST' — a closing chapter that dives deep into grief, memory, and the weight of time.
The song paints loss as more than a passing storm — it’s a cycle without end, circling like a broken clock, where echoes of the past bleed into the present. Every lyric is a collision of sorrow and longing, tracing the struggle of holding on while trying to let go.
With heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and raw emotion, “Darkest Days” embodies the spirit of modern metal and alternative rock. Fans of Rise Against, Sevendust, Three Days Grace, and Beartooth will feel at home in its crushing intensity and haunting atmosphere.
This is the final release of Chronogeist — but it’s not the end. Apparition 10:01 is already writing the next chapter.

Siren

[Intro | Clean Reverb Effect]
Silence before the storm,
Fate breathes in the dark.


[Verse 1 | Shadowfall Effect]
I am the one who falls in the dark,
Born from the void, left scars in my heart.
Cold breath rising, I walk through the flame,
Pain in my veins but I mastered the pain.

Shadows cling when I move through the fog,
Every step heavy, faith tested by gods.
I seen the end when I looked in their eyes,
Truth cut deep, couldn’t live in the lies.


[Pre-Chorus | Rising Fate Effect]
Clock keeps ticking, fate stays close,
Can’t outrun what you fear the most.
When the sky cracks, hear the call,
I won’t bend, I will never fall.


[Chorus | Night Ascension Effect]
I am the night, I am the dark,
You can’t stop what’s tearing apart.
What’s coming soon was written in time,
Feel the power when worlds collide.

Gods and mortals, hear them fight,
War in the distance, sparks in the sky.
When I rise, feel the ground ignite,
I am the shadow, I am the night.


[Post-Chorus | Lead Echo Effect]


[Verse 2 | Iron Resolve Effect]
Blood on the throne, crowns made of bone,
Walked through hell just to stand on my own.
Promises broken, trust turned to dust,
Built from the pain, yeah, forged from the rust.

Every loss carved lines in my face,
Still I stand when the stars lose faith.
If this is war, then sharpen the blade,
I don’t run now, I’m ready to stay.


[Pre-Chorus | Drum Pulse Effect]
Hear the drums in the distant flame,
Every breath calls out my name.
When the sky breaks, hear the fall,
I rise higher than them all.


[Chorus | Night Ascension Effect]
I am the night, I am the dark,
You can’t stop what’s tearing apart.
What’s coming soon was written in time,
Feel the power when worlds collide.

Gods and mortals, hear them fight,
War in the distance, sparks in the sky.
When I rise, feel the ground ignite,
I am the shadow, I am the night.


[Bridge | Breakdown Effect]
Heaven’s shaking, hell’s awake,
Every chain that held me breaks.
I was chosen, I survived,
Born to fall but built to rise.

If this ends, it ends in flame,
Say my name, remember my name.


[Guitar Solo | Controlled Chaos Effect]


[Final Chorus | Eclipse Effect]
I am the night, I am the storm,
From the ashes, I’m reborn.
Time stands still when I arrive,
Watch the legends come alive.

Gods and mortals, feel the fight,
Fire in the sky, thunder collide.
When I rise, there’s no goodbyes,
I am the shadow, I am the night.


[Outro | Quiet Resolve Effect]
I am the fall.
I am the rise.
I am the night.

SHADOW OF THE NIGHT

Dethcore – Atomic Death
Atomic Death is a full-length melodic death metal concept album documenting the collapse of global stability, the escalation into total war, and the irreversible outcome of mutually assured destruction. Beginning with political unrest and the death of peace, the album follows the countdown to launch, the moment of detonation, and the world that survives when it never should have.
This record does not search for lessons or redemption. It depicts inevitability, escalation, and consequence in blunt detail. Missiles launch. Cities burn. The sky turns white. Fire gives way to ash, radiation, mutation, and a poisoned existence where survival becomes a punishment rather than a victory.
The final act explores the aftermath: a silent, broken world filled with fallout, sickness, and those left behind wishing the blast had taken them too. Atomic Death is not about blame or morality — it is about outcome.
A bonus memorial track honors the life and legacy of legendary drummer Marcel Dube, immortalizing his impact on music and the rhythm he left behind.
No hope.
No reset.
Just extinction, aftermath, and the cost of continuing to breathe.
