about

You can get all APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE downloads directly from the band's Bandcamp page: apostleofsolitude.bandcamp.com

Apostle of Solitude, whose sound has been described as "hopelessness, despair, and grief, exorcised from the mind and channeled out in a catharsis of sound", rose from the ashes of The Keep in August of 2004. Guitarist-Vocalist Chuck Brown (while at that time also playing behind the drum kit in the mighty The Gates of Slumber) convened with Drummer Corey Webb and Bassist Brent McClellan, and the trio began rehearsing together regularly before adding second guitarist Paul Miller in January of 2005. Early recordings from this period consisted of four track rehearsal tapes, which were circulated through the metal underground as a foreshadowing of doomed things to come. Upon the departure of Paul Miller in July 2005, the second guitar position was shortly thereafter filled by Justin Avery.

The name "Apostle of Solitude", being based on the idea of an individual who goes through life essentially alone in terms of a steadfast devotion to those things they hold to be true and right - completely independent of society, gives some indication of the subject matter that the music deals with.

Autumn of 2005 saw the first proper demo cd recorded at Prana Studios. This self-titled audio documentary of sorrow and ruin was limited to 100 DIY copies, assembled under the mark of Necrology Rekordings. The band started gigging regularly in Indianapolis and the surrounding areas during the winter of 2005, and by March of 2006 they began to hit the road. October 2006 saw an abbreviated east coast U.S. tour with kindred brethren Elusive Travel. Late 2006 / early 2007 also saw the release of the band's second demo release, the EP "Embraced By The Black", recorded by "Metal" Mike downtown at the Engine Room in Indianapolis. This demo, limited to roughly 300 copies, quickly went out of print, garnering enthusiastic accolades throughout the international doom and metal community along the way.
