Review of the Sentinel MCD in My Last Chapter webzine:
It's always difficult when you have to review a friend's band,
but with Apologia I don't have to worry about hurting anyone's feelings.
I'm not lying when I say that this rips. There are so many sides to this
band that it's almost impossible to describe, Halvfabrikat does it best,
"the music can be described as the perfect blend of punk, crust, metal,
hardcore, grindcore, emo, screamo, power violence, pop and rock".
But don't let the description scare you. It's not artsy fartsy,
it's not messy or annoying. It's damn well played and composed!
Some minutes into the opening track there's a bass move that is just brilliant,
and this band has a lot of those moves. Angst-filled riffs and a tortured vocalist
suddenly turns into wicked grinding and the most pissed off vocalist ever.
I don't really know what to say. It's just brilliant, and every time you
listen to it you discover something new. Wickedly venomous and evil!
