… Read Full Bio ↴Aperco is a progressive rock band from Tel-Aviv Israel, formed in 2013.
Aperco has consistently incorporated prog-rock, hard rock and classical influences into their usually lengthy compositions.
Aperco's music is simple, melodic and catchy, so that anyone can relate to. But, there is a certain musical element of the band's music, that can be only found in the early 70's records.
Aperco was originally formed in 2005 by guitarist/vocalist Tom Maizel and keyboardist Tal Maizel, cousins who shared their love for Pink Floyd's darkened ambience, Mike Oldfield's atmospheric soundscapes and Camel's cheerful melodies. Together they began to write some of the raw material that would evantually see the light of day on Aperco's upcoming debut album: "The Battle"(to be released in 2016). Tom's appeal towards moody, anthemic epics and Tal's sense of celtic melody lines created a unique, yet to be heard combination of musical sophistication for the masses.
In 2013 Aperco was joined by bassist Yuval Raz, a family relative.
When the three spent the next year rehearsing and writing new material, Aperco was ofiicially born.
In 2014 Aperco began recording their debut album with producer Gidon Ricardo at Muzeex Productions studio. For the drum parts Aperco recruited Dor Adar as a full time member, a long time friend of the band. The music slowly evolved and more instruments were needed to perform it.

The Battle
Aperco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never mind the fault that you've been accused
You're not alone try to recall
The past is gone, can't be undone
I'm good and I'm caring
With love and with grace
Strength beyond knowledge
I'm good and I'm caring
With love and with grace
Strength beyond knowledge
Think and retrace
Wake into a dream
Reality supreme
Here it goes again
You feel the fame, ignore the pain
Thrown into the flame
You're all the same
It's time to take what's mine tonight
And I will prove that I was right
I tried to please you all
But now you need to understand
That I am on my own
I hold the throne
I wonder what you try to gain
Forever traces will remain
You never meant to cause
The story of your rise and fall
You thing you won the war
You lost control
In Aperco's song "The Battle," the lyrics tell the story of someone who has been accused of something and has to recall the past to move past it. The person is being reminded that they are not alone and that the past cannot be undone. The first verse ends with the repetition of the lines "I'm good and I'm caring, with love and with grace, strength beyond knowledge, think and retrace." This shows that the person offering this advice is someone who is trustworthy and cares about the person they are speaking to.
The second verse speaks of waking into a dream and being thrown into the flame. It's a metaphor for someone who feels like they are in the middle of a battle or a struggle where they are on their own. The lines "You're all the same, it's time to take what's mine tonight, and I will prove that I was right" show that the person has decided to fight for what they believe in and will do it on their own terms. In the last verse, the person being accused realizes that the one who accused them never meant to cause trouble, but they had lost control of the situation.
Overall, the song is about someone who is going through a tough time and needs to remember that they are loved and cared for. It's about fighting for what you believe in, but also understanding that sometimes things are out of your control.
