“…the whole thing is three-dimensional, an auditory walk-in nightmare. 9/10″ – Decibel Magazine
Disgraced Emanations From A Tranquil State, the portentous second album from Los Angeles, California death metal quartet APPARITION, is now streaming in its entirety on the eve of its worldwide release tomorrow through on Profound Lore Records.
The follow-up to 2021’s lauded Feel LP sees APPARITION traverse further into the realms of otherworldly doom-riddled progressive dark death metal. Since its conception, the band has been about creating an individualized version of death metal, all the while paying homage to its ancestors. Disgraced Emanations From A Tranquil State sees vocalist/drummer Andrew Morgan, guitarist Andrew Solis, guitarist/synth player Miles McIntosh, and bassist Taylor Young creating a dynamic range within the genre, from the brutal to the beautiful. A still expanding glimpse into the APPARITION cannon. A lathe of infinite death remaking itself—horrific and pristine.
Disgraced Emanations From A Tranquil State was produced by APPARITION bassist Taylor Young (Twitching Tongues, God’s Hate, Deadbody) at The Pit Recording Studio and Electrical Audio, mastered by Nick Townsend at Infrasonic Sound, and completed with album artwork courtesy of Vama Marga with additional art by Urgoted.

“…a fierce showcase of the California quartet’s protean musical capabilities… An exacting command of the art form allows APPARITION to modulate between riffs for the mind and body, between blast beast and slack tempo post-metal, between the crushing and the super crushing… the whole thing is three-dimensional, an auditory walk-in nightmare. 9/10″ – Decibel Magazine
“Disgraced Emanations takes a similar leap that Tomb Mold did on last year’s surprise release, where the seeds of a more progressive and expressive band were there all along, but they blossomed into something wholly unexpected that seems inevitable when listening back to past records… you may have a new favorite record.” – New Noise Magazine
“…APPARITION only continue to improve upon what was already a winning formula for their death/doom style. The band’s songwriting is excellent as they’re able to blend faster and doomier segments together seamlessly, whilst also injecting their own identity through these more intricate, developed riff pieces… Disgraced Emanations From A Tranquil State is not merely another death/doom record, but a shining example of it done right. It’s easily the band’s best work to date.” – The Razor’s Edge
