Apocrypha(Into the Grave cds are only $5 NOW)

Apocrypha is a Thrash/Death Metal band from Arlington Heights Illinois. Apocrypha is Steve Amarantos(Guitar/Vocals), Zeke Fang(Guitar), Jake Fromkin(Drums) and Kevin Amarantos(Bass).
But Apocrypha started a long time ago...well it really started about 6 years ago under the name Midnight Mayhem. The band really started between Steve, Zeke, and Jake. There were many line-up changes until they decided to get long time friend Scott Neilsen to play guitar. We soon changed our name to HaVoc and the Official Line-up was Steve(Bass/Vocals), Zeke(Guitar), Scott(Guitar), and Jake(Drums). We played for about 4 years. We recorded many demo cds and tried to play as many shows as we could. In the late summer/early fall Scott wasn't enjoying playing in the band and did not want to take the band to the next level like the rest of us, so scott decided to leave the band after 4 years of playing with him. There is no hard feelings and we are all happy with the decision that he made and we respect it.
So Steve, Zeke, and Jake then played for about 6 weeks as a three piece band, writing new music and searching for a new member to join the band. Then we found Mike Tsipis. We new that he was our biggest fan and we new that he was a great musician, so we asked him to join the band as our new Bass Player. Because of this Steve and the band decided that it would be best if he played guitar. So the change was made. During the winter of 2007 and the spring of 2008 the band made a lot of big steps. We decided that it was time to make a name change and we all decided on the name Apocrypha. We also recorded our first EP entitled, Creature of the Night, and we began to play a lot more shows. Since all of these changes we have opened for bands like Children of Bodom and Down at The Rave in Milwaukee, and played many other great shows infront of a lot of people. On January 11th, 2009 Mike Tsipis quit Apocrypha. He did not want to play the bass guitar anymore because he wanted to focus on his guitar playing he also had family issues that he needs to attend to that lead to his departure from the band. We wish Mike the best, and we had some good times with him and played some great shows. In Oct. of 2009 Apocrypha found there fourth member to complete the bands line-up...Kevin Amarantos, brother to Steve, has taken up on the task to play Bass for the band. Apocrypha is whole again and is stronger and more evil than ever.
