ANTARES PREDATOR Twilight Of The Apocalypse CD (2010)

Norway kept producing black and thrash metal acts through the 2000s that most of the world slept on, and Antares Predator were exactly that, a band doing serious work in a genre where the bar for seriousness is extremely high.

Twilight Of The Apocalypse, released in 2010, sits in that productive overlap between second-wave black metal atmosphere and the aggression of old-school thrash. If you came up through Morgoth, Old Man's Child, or Negator, this is already in your wheelhouse. If you're newer to the Norwegian underground, this is a solid entry point into the kind of metal that doesn't show up on streaming algorithms and doesn't want to. Physical media, the right format for this kind of record.
