Besides the live presence Apokrypha's music should be immortalized, too. In the beginning of 2002 the first Demo was recorded and already in fall 2002 the first album deal was made. But it was a blunder signing to this label since it exposed as absolutely incompetent. Soon afterwards the deal was resolved again.
Finally the band signed to the Swabian label Black Atakk for three albums in summer 2003.
The first concept album "To The Seven", which deals with the decline of a fictitious society, was released on June 21st 2004.
"Despaired melodies and apokalyptic brutality", the values of an atmospheric mixture from Black, Thrash and Death Metal are the trademarks of Apokrypha.
Climax
Apokrypha Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Death carts rumble
Hollow and harsh
All devouring insatiable
Like monsters crush humanity
Fused in one
Could record itself
Grow to maturity
Horrified certainly
Under the guillotine
Into the same tortured forms
It will - itself
The Seven never reserve
They never reserve
Sow the same seed of rapacious license
And oppression over again
And will surely yeld the same fruit
According to its kind
Changeless and hopless
The turmoil rolls along
Deceivers and sourcerers
Conjuration - downfall
The Climax is on fire
Turmoil rolls along the streets
Change this back again
To what they were
Carriages of absolute monarchs
The equipages of feudal nobles
Are scum for themselves
The real negative ones
Approached their end
The ploughs go on and on
No more so tight suspended
The eyes survey the faces
Exponded of a day to come
In "Climax," Apokrypha paints a bleak picture of a world in turmoil. The first stanza describes the death carts rumbling through the world as monsters crush humanity. The imagery is disturbing, but it speaks to the idea that the forces causing the turmoil are both all-encompassing and insatiable. The second stanza is a reflection on the power of imagination. It suggests that, from the beginning of recorded history, humanity has been capable of imagining and perpetrating horrific acts. The guillotine is a symbol of this historical violence, and the phrase "tortured forms" could refer to the horrible contortions of the body during execution. The third stanza speaks to the idea that the cycle of oppression and violence will continue unless humanity makes a deliberate effort to break it. The phrase "changeless and hopeless" captures the sense of futility that can come from recognizing the cyclical nature of history. The use of words like "deceivers" and "sourcerers" suggests that the forces responsible for perpetuating the cycle are intentionally manipulative.
The most striking aspect of "Climax" is the sense of despair that permeates the lyrics. The repeated references to "the same fruit" and "the same seed" suggest that the cycle of oppression and violence is inevitable. The phrase "the Climax is on fire" could be interpreted as a reference to the point at which the cycle reaches its most extreme state. This could be seen as a commentary on the current state of the world, which seems to be experiencing a surge of political extremism, violence, and social upheaval. Overall, the lyrics of "Climax" paint a bleak picture of humanity and its history, but they also suggest that there is a glimmer of hope if we can manage to break free from the cycle of violence.

Change this back again
Revert to a previous, more stable state
To what they were
To a time before the current tumult
Carriages of absolute monarchs
The luxurious vehicles of supreme rulers
The equipages of feudal nobles
The elaborate transportation of medieval aristocrats
Are scum for themselves
They are considered worthless by the people
The real negative ones
The truly horrible people
Approached their end
Are meeting their demise
The ploughs go on and on
The farmers continue working
No more so tight suspended
No longer under such strict control
The eyes survey the faces
Observing the expressions of the people
Exponded of a day to come
Hopeful for a better future
