Anyone into Apocrypha? I have Area 54, and am giving it another listen. I mostly like it, but it borders on stuff I dislike here and there.

I've always wanted to check them out...they have a copy of that "Area 51" disc at the one shop I frequent...for $26!!!

needless to say I have't bought it.

what are they like?

They are somewhat a mid-paced thrash band. They have power and classic metal tendencies as well. Quite good, IMO. Area 54 is my favorite of theirs.

The guitarist, Tony Fredianelli, also has an album out called Breakneck Speed. Don't know much about it.

I have that on tape...the Tony Freidanelli abum...it's killer.

You know he ended up in THIRD EYE BLIND right....after aliens sucked his brain out apparently....

Apocrypha is pretty basic & nothing fancy, but still pretty good all things considered. just no frills.

Yeah, pretty good summary for me. I just tend to want to keep my collection somewhat lean (yeah right) and sometimes albums in that category get the axe. I get easily annoyed at the time wasten by metal I dislike.

Buit I think I like Area 54 enough to keep it.

Tony Fredianelli CD "Breakneck Speed" is brilliant.

I have the Apocrypha album "The Forgotten Scroll" on LP and it's decent in my opinoon, nothing groundbreaking but enjoyable all the same.

These guys are awesome! They are from here in Vegas. The singer is in a cover band here in town called Highwire. Mega cool dude and a pretty good cover band. They do all metal covers so its cool to hear.

I have The Eyes of Time that I picked up a few years ago in a little comic book shop that had some cds for sale. I'd agree with the general opinion that they're decent, but nothing mind-altering.

I discovered this band lately and ended up ordering Area 54 on cd.

Since I grew up in Vegas, yes I've heard of them, and probably have seen them live somewhere over the years. I have had area 54 in my collection for a couple decades at least, and it's decent but not my favorite. I ended up getting The Eyes of Time and The Forgotten Scroll, but admit that I haven't really listened more than once. Guess they are just one of those bands I could take or leave. If they weren't from my home town, I don't see me ever listening to them.
