RM started playing metal in the early ’90s, performing in many bands over the years, swapping between guitar and bass along the way, adding keyboards to his repertoire a little later, leaning on influences from Dissection, Monotheist, Rotting Christ, Varathron, Necromantia, Celtic Frost, Triptykon, Bolt Thrower, Candlemass, Samael, Incantation and anything Industrial, Dark Ambient and Ritualistic in sound.

As a band, their music is one and the same, with a lot of riff-driven sections traded with atmospheric passages.

The vocals, however, are approached from a more modern perspective, with ’90s and 2000s Death Metal, and modern

off-chutes and subgenres of Black Metal, all shaping JC’s vocal style, combining their different tastes, to create something new.

“Once a track is close enough to completion, barring any minor tweaks, JC starts arranging vocal patterns. We then spend the next little while making small changes, and eventually move on to the next song before returning for more revisions.

Listening to something strange, or music I don’t generally like, or heard in a long time usually helps as It’s pretty important for me to forget about something completely for a while so that I can come back to it with a clear mind. So, I’ll try to listen to anything that is a different style of music and that utilizes different instruments. To overcome any blocks is simple, I just wait.

I don’t like to rush things, and I feel that the art functions better when the ideas come to me naturally”.

Based on the nature of their music, I asked the boys if this reflects their personalities, JC went on to say;

“Definitely not, I’m a pretty quiet and down-to-earth person. Not a Rock Star by any means”.

RM added;

“I think I’m the same Metal Head on and off stage as it’s the same energy, however, it’s not so easy to Mosh with an instrument strapped to you”.

And that brings me nicely to the single in question here, Point Three (Timelines Remix)

Melodically edgy and colourfully dark, this single leaps into action with a subtle overture of their familiar industrial sound and synthesized heartbeat reminiscent to a bygone era, brought back to life and right up to date courtesy of their Depeche Mode inspiration. Remixed from its origin, and taken from the A L P H A B I O N I C album of 2019, this track still retains the very same digital heartbeat of the day, but now offers even more digital flesh to its bones, taking their technical ability to new and exciting heights, with a further 4 tracks for our pleasure on their NEW EP Alpha Transcendence, now available for preorder on the links below.

Visually, as by now you may have seen the video above, Lindy owns every single performance, whether it be LIVE or in the studio, holding dominance to the job in hand, and completely losing herself in performance, walking us through the storyboard itself with perfect enunciation, and seducing us in sound.

Musically, Gabriel And The Apocalypse have got it pegged, as this digital soundscape with its rich infusion of ambient textures strike the air with a pulse of pure emotion, as seen and heard in its delivery.

For some, never judge a book by its cover, as this is a band that needs checking out, and a band that keeps giving, leaving fans energized from sofa to stage.

Star Rating – 10/10
