Apollyon Sun was formed by singer/guitarist Tom G. Fischer and guitarist Erol Unala in early 1995. The band were first discovered in 1997 by London-based Sanctuary Music Management, on the strength of their Industry Demonstration demo-EP. Their debut EP "God Leaves (And Dies)" was released in 1998. Misunderstood by many of the 'old-school' fans of Celtic Frost, probably due to the fact that it was so avant-garde and experimental. The full length album "Sub" moved forward into the industrial world to embrace the electronic age and mix heavy guitar riffs and drum rhythms with poetic lyrics. It had overall good reviews and acceptance by the press but the band never had too much exposure and it remained the most underground as it could possibly get.
After the release of "Sub", the band was dismantled and it's future is uncertain though it has been rumoured that Erol Unala alone would bring up the project to the daylight again now that Tom G. is focusing on Celtic Frost again.

Apollyon Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This our way, we can not turn.
Messiah
We've reached our time, this world must burn.
Judgement day, no guilt
Demon seed, invades the earth
Our task, let us pray
Messiah
This our way, we can not turn
This our way, we can not turn.
We've reached our time, this world must burn.
Knowledge lost, there is no shame.
Messiah
The song "Messiah" by Apollyon Sun contains lyrical themes of apocalypse, destruction, and religious iconography. The opening line, "This our way, we can not turn. Messiah" suggests a sense of predetermined fate and a fatalistic belief that the end of the world is inevitable. The lyrics continue to convey a sense of impending doom, with a focus on such imagery as "six, six, six," "judgement day," "demon seed," and an "invading earth." The repeated refrain of "Messiah" further emphasizes the religious and eschatological overtones of the song. Through these lyrics, Apollyon Sun creates a sense of impending chaos and the inevitability of the end of the world.
There are several interpretations of this song's meaning. Some believe that the song is an indictment of organized religion and the perceived damage that it has caused throughout history. Others suggest that the song is a reflection of the apocalyptic fears that are inherent in human nature, a reflection of the idea that our world is on the brink of disaster at every moment. Regardless of its interpretation, the song is a powerful and evocative reflection of the somber and foreboding mood of the time it was written.

@dreamansion_doometernalband
if this is your way
i will return
extermination day
your world will burn
hope may leave
may go
may part
while the pain you are
controls my heart
messiah
my life undone
ungrateful dead
crime and punishment
all in my head
see the death of your son
writhing in pain
for the sins of the father
i shan't suffer again
in a world of steel
made from stone
only i'll be real
on your death's throne
