Bringing you the best in young metal, today I present Apocrypha, a metal slinging band playing out of Illinois, where they play regularly. I got a chance to talk to them about their music, their band and their process. Along the way I was able to get into their heads a bit and see what the source of their creativity is. I think it comes across in the conversation.
