French black metal iconoclasts GLORIOR BELLI reemerge with The Apostates, the latest and greatest in their canon of disparate black metal. GLORIOR BELLI smashes orthodox black metal rules; honing their pitch-black extremity with sinewy and serpentine heavy rock riffs. The resulting new album proves once again that their left-hand path always travels forward.
Review
...an interesting album from French Glorior Belli, mixing black metal-the late 90s/early 2000s French sound-with some black n roll-ish passages here and there. What sets this album further apart from the crowd is that they also throw in some blend of heavy metal, rock and a little bit of alternative rock, which is something I'd usually steer clear of, but the band has managed to make this unholy mix work as a cohesive ensemble. - Metal Crypt 4/5
