Apostle of Solitude Touring in Europe Next Month

apostle of solitude

I’m glad Apostle of Solitude are touring Europe. That’s cool. I won’t see those shows, obviously, but it gives me an excuse to break out my copy of their 2018 album, From Gold to Ash (review here), and once again dig into “Ruination by Thy Name,” “Keeping the Lighthouse,” “My Heart is Leaving Here,” and the rest. I’ll finish writing about their upcoming stint next month that starts at Doom Over Vienna XIII on Nov. 9 before the record is done probably, but whatever. No way I’m not listening to it straight through. Why the hell would I stop it?

The Indianapolis four-piece were out this summer with Pale Divine on a tour that it was my pleasure to have this site co-present, and as they make their way toward Hammer of Doom XIII — I guess a lot of Euro doomfests got started around 2005? — they’ll do gigs with BST, Growing Horns and King Heavy. They’re not a band who get abroad all the time, so if you can see them, consider it recommended not just because they kill it live, which they do, but also in a get-while-the-getting’s-good kind of way.

They have a couple warmup shows later this month in Kentucky as well and sent the following announcement down the PR wire:
