Hundred
Headless Horsemen is a psychedelic death metal band hailing from
Helsinki, Finland. Their first full-length, concept album titled
“Apokalepsia” was released through Inverse Records on 21 May 2021. The album has been received very positively by publications that cater to left-field metal tastes. No Clean Singing blog wrote ”...think
of HHH as the Death Metal equivalent of their more “blackened”
countrymen in Oranssi Pazuzu, a band with whom they not only share a
love of sludgy grooves and psychotropic sounds, but also an almost
pathological aversion to playing by the rules.” Tempelores webzine stated: "Apokalepsia is a masterwork and worthy of multiple re-listens to peel back the layers and find some clarity." More reviews for the album can be found from: https://hundredheadlesshorsemen.com/press/ The
band blends together different subgenres of metal from current and past
time frames to create their own unique brand of psychedelic death
metal. Their musical approach mirrors the background narrative of the
album that moves in multiple time and space dimensions based on fragments of scientific articles found about a formerly unknown psychoneurological condition: Apokalepsia. Apokalepsia
is a group of symptoms characterized by recurrent seizures. These
episodes can vary from brief and nearly undetectable interludes to long
periods of vigorous shaking, hyperventilation, suffocating despair and a
failure to function in a world defined by its imminent devastation.
Many victims also describe vivid visual and auditory hallucinations
during apokaleptic seizures. The journal entries of these formerly
unknown cases tell much about the inner struggles of the victims: “The
momentum that upholds life comes from death, darkness and decay. No
matter how delusional we become, our efforts will never be grand enough
to transcend this circular motion. In stark contrast to nature, the
economy was always a fiction. A fiction that nevertheless had very real
consequences to our lives, which have led us to the profound
misinterpretation of its true form. The system we had built long ago is
now eating us alive.” “Many
of us had bright ideas, but in the end, our egos were always standing
between the ideas and actually living them. Were we ever able to remind
ourselves that the whole spectrum of life upon this earth was just as
precious as our own? Or did we merely fall back to building fortresses
against our own fears?” Apokalepsia
was composed, performed, produced by Hundred Headless Horsemen. The
band remains anonymous, but was joined by Mikko Suikkanen on electric
violin and Saergu on synthesizers in “The Road”, as well as Titus on
percussion on “The Road” and “Spleen”. The album was recorded by
Valtteri Virolainen and Titus, mixed by Valtteri Virolainen and mastered by Magnus Lindberg Productions. Photographer and visual artist Karl Ketamo (https://www.karlketamo.com) worked with us to create a visual form for our concept. Apokalepsia – Track listing: 1. The Road
