The Elite Italic Black Metal horde Apolokia was forged and cursed in 1994, under an infernal covenant over the high and icecold mountains of Gran Sasso, Italy. The main figure behind was leading musician Blackfrost (Nordavind, Nostalgya, Geist Ritus, ex Gaszimmer, ex In Nomine, Panzerfaust Recording Studio).
With the use of some session members, the band just after six months reharseals entered studio releasing their debut demotape "Frozen Evokation" in march 1995. The debut demo received great responses into the european Black Metal scene, but the year after, line up problems and different attitudes and ideologies gave a period of no releases, until december of 1996 with the joining of Verminaard (Ugluk, ex From Depths). Apolokia started a new musical and ideological path,dealing with a more extreme and uncompromising cold and grim Black Metal sound.
In april 1997 the band released their second demotape entitled "Fields of Hatefrost" unleashing the Apolokia sound: evil, fast and cold. The second demo spread the name of the band all around Italy and abroad confirming Apolokia as the most controversial and hateful misanthropic Black Metal horde ever forged in Italy.
In 1999, some tracks were crafted but, none of them were never officially released, due to internal contrasts inside the band. Lots a labels became strongly interested in Apolokia, but the band never found their deals that interesting indeed.
The Italic Black Metal cult was born.
The band in 2000 was put on ice, leaving to the fans just the mistery and the uncompromising music, misanthropic ideology that always has been the true Apolokia trademark of Elitism. Disgusted by the evolution of the modern Black Metal scene, Blackfrost and Verminaard disappeared in the northern side of Europe, hunting the true misantropic aeon and principles of dark isolation.
After seven years the band was reformed in silence, anno 2007, Blackfrost and Verminaard decided to give rebirth to Apolokia, no matter the distance problems, between Italy and Norway.
The MCD "Immota Satani Manet" was produced in Panzerfaust Recording Studio in Bergen, Norway by Blackfrost, featuring special guest appearance by Malignancy from the kult italic Black Metal band Dungeon from 1991.
Released by the italian underground label The Oath in 2009 as a 500 copies limited edition.
After this My Kingdom Music started to show interest to band's future and so offered a deal for the release of what will be the first full-lenght album of the band. The album is now on building and will be released in the next September. It's title is "Kathaarian Vortex" and it's announced as one of the most controversial and freezing release of the last years that will be the perfect dope for you addicted of the uncompromising Black Metal Art.
