Band biography

Apathy is the creation of multi-instrumentalist Viktor Jonas; a one man band that focus on Progressive Death/Doom Metal. The band started as a side-project in 2003 when Viktor was playing the drums in a black metal band called Nattstrype. The band disbanded later that year and gave Viktor time to focus on Apathy.

In April 2006 Apathy released a critically acclaimed EP; "Cold Endless Winter, which, aside from Viktor Jonas featured Sebastian Gustafsson (Miss Behaviour) and Vidar Wetterhall (Sarea, ex-Miss Behaviour).

After a couple months of hiatus, Viktor began working on new songs for an upcoming release. In late summer of 2007 he was approached by Serge Farinas (Simbelmyne, Amidst the Withering) and collaborations were initiated. Serge added additional rhythm, lead and acoustic guitars to the songs. As on the first EP, Sebastian Gustafsson and Vidar Wetterhall were once again hired for bass guitar and vocal duties. Another guest musician, Johan Dyyk (Sabachthani), contributed with guitar solos for two of the songs.

The new album was mainly recorded and mixed in Studio Noir, Norrköping, Sweden. Vocals and bass guitars were recorded in Studio Daves (A recording studio at Linköping University, where Viktor studies Music Production). Additional rhythm, lead and acoustic guitars were recorded by Serge Farinas in Stockbridge, Georgia, USA. Recording finished on the 30th of March and the album was released on the 24th of April 2008.
