Originally released in 1998, Apocalyptic Revelation was the sound of KRISIUN finessing the raw savagery of their widely celebrated Black Force Domain debut into a simply stunning display of crush and clarity. Indeed, to ever call into question the trio's aims is to call into question one's own definition of death metal: with an uptick in production values, KRISIUN here soundly defied any insinuations of "sellout" and seared the listener with the machinations of Hell itself grinding to a pulp all who dared face its characteristically overwhelming onslaught. And while that cult debut devilishly displayed the band's enviable chops across the most evil of soundfields, KRISIUN's increasingly prolific touring during this period made their execution a thing of breathtaking barbarity. Apocalyptic Revelation, simply put, made absolute EVIL clearer and more devastating.
