Atlanta metal trio APOSTLE have released their ambitious new full-length, ‚A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon‘, via Terminus Hate City. The album arrives alongside a music video for opening track ‚Exiting The God Hologram‘, setting the stage for one of the most emotionally searching records in the band’s catalogue.Atlanta-based metal trio APOSTLE have unveiled their most fully realized work to date with the release of ‚A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon‘, out now via Terminus Hate City. Spanning six tracks and 27 minutes, the record is a profound meditation on grief, mortality, spiritual duality, and eventual healing, taking its title from Carl Jung’s description of humanity as a ’splinter in the infinite deity.‘
To mark the album’s arrival, APOSTLE have shared a new music video for the opening track, ‚Exiting The God Hologram.‘ The song begins with the distant rumble of a train recorded from vocalist and guitarist Murice White’s apartment window, a disarmingly intimate touch that immediately grounds the record in lived experience. Lyrically, the track interrogates the idea that no single perspective holds a monopoly on truth, conjuring imagery of a blood-filled sea splitting to reveal two diverging paths.
Musically, APOSTLE navigate the full breadth of their sound across the album, moving from the urgent weight of ‚Swine‘ and the fractured atmosphere of ‚Distortions of Light‘ to the instinctual force of ‚Oscillating Polarities‘ and the bittersweet vulnerability of closing track ‚At Ease.‘ The record was produced, engineered, and mixed by Connor Ray at Sobek Sound, and mastered by Erol Ulug at Bright Lights.
Formed in 2017 and signed to Terminus Hate City in 2022, APOSTLE bridge chaotic hardcore, grind, post-black metal, and atmospheric post-rock with an unflinching emotional honesty. The current lineup of Murice White on vocals and guitar, Michael Thomas on bass and vocals, and Evan Price on drums has solidified the band’s creative vision into something urgent and singular.
