APOSTASIE play melodic black metal with historical and atheist themes. In their first album "Non Est Deus", they narrate the "Historia Ecclesiastica Perversa" - the madness of dogmas, and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church.
The album discusses events in the so-called Christian "history of salvation", the Latin-Roman church history, as well as the closely related European history. These events and processes are staged as moments of religious madness, dogmatic contradiction and, at the same time, rational criticism and resistance. The events described cover the period from the so-called "turning point of time", i.e. the birth of Christ, to the so-called Reformation of the Latin-Roman church by Martin Luther.
"APOSTASIE gelingt es mit "Non Est Deus" aus der Masse der Melodic Black Metal-Bands herauszustechen, die Atmosphäre vor allem durch den Einsatz einer Drehleier aufzubauen, passt gerade bei der behandelten Thematik wie die Faust aufs Auge. Ein hervorragendes Debütalbum und ein Highlight zum Ende des Jahres."
