Apocalyptic Raids 2000 Der Name der Band sagt schon, welche Art von Musik man von ihnen erwarten kann! Der alte Stil von HELLHAMMER und der alten 80er Death / Thrash Bands wird zu einem rauen, schmutzigen Gebräu vermischt, und findet unter den Anhängern dieser alten Zeiten seine Anhänger! Der Chef der Band Leon Mansur (genannt Necromaniac), Sänger und Gitarrist, war schon aktiv als diese Art der Musik auf ihrem Höhepunkt war! Er fing 1985 in der Band DEVASTATION (später EXPLICT HATE) an! Er probierte viele Jahre seine eigene Band aufzustellen, aber erst 1993 konnte er mit NIGHTBREED starten. Das Line up wechselte, bis 1997 Drummer Adramaleck von der Band NOCTURNAL WORSHIPPER einstieg, und 1999 Sub Umbra von ANCIENT SIGN GLORIFY den Bass übernahm! Im selben Jahr nahmen sie das erste Demo auf, und ein Jahr später das erste Album. Es wurde 2001 unter dem neuen namen APOCALYPTIC RAIDS veröffentlicht! Zur selben Zeit stieg der neue Drummer Skullcrusher ein, und im Jahre 2003 konnte das neue Album herausgebracht werden. Die Split Single enthält einen Song vom 1999er Demo.
