about
Apokryphon is a progressive black metal project embarked by Ophis (a.k.a. Zorgh, founding member and bassist of Darkspace). The first album, "Subterra", was released through Avantgarde Music in February 2020. As Ophis expressed her thoughts about this project, "Apokryphon literally means "hidden" or "dark" and refers to the apocrypha, old esoteric scriptures written by a variety of people that were either actively hidden or controversial and therefore excluded from public viewing or biblical content, for example. Many of them were found to be heretical, some were related to gnosticism. Many of them were written in the geographical area of the Middle East about 2000 years ago. ”Subterra" thematically relates to themes treated in the apocrypha. Musically, it is rooted in black metal, decorated with oriental spices. It is an expression of my own personal and musical identity and themes that touch me generally. I have chosen to liberally interpret both apocryphal texts and black metal in my very own way. And with Djinn I have found the perfect voice to interpret most of the vocal aspects."
