Introducing ‘Null Apostle’, the crushing new release from Auckland’s Bridge Burner; a genre-defying plunge into pure heaviness propped up by a backbone of white-hot aggression.

Art As Catharsis is proud to release the crushing new release from Auckland’s Bridge Burner: Null Apostle – a genre-defying plunge into pure heaviness propped up by a backbone of white-hot aggression.

While the band cite Botch, Godflesh and Gorguts as large influences, their tar-doused sound seems a far and unique fling away from these three. Null Apostle forces listeners into a thick mire of deep ear-shattering tones, fluctuating between heavy rhythm and grind driven riffs – never relaxing for a second.

“Frontman Read remains viscerally physical and emotionally raw, but Sinclair is a phenomenal drummer. He looks at ease while his hands blur between blinding blast beats. He and guitarist Hughes can stop on a dime, ease suddenly into slower sections, or just as suddenly escalate the pace to shattering point. They’re a band who know that exactly the right amount of tension and contrast adds to the impact of their crushing violence.” – Live Review, 13th Floor

Null Apostle wastes no time in cementing itself as a strong contender for metal album of the year. The sheer musical diversity of the record spans across genres like black metal, math, crust punk and more, coming together like a Frankenstein’s monster of aggressive music. It’s truly one of the most challenging, evil sounding releases of 2018 – made even more impressive that it’s come from our neighbours in New Zealand.
