Apostle of Solitude L-R: Chuck Brown, Corey Webb, Marshall Kreeb, Steve Janiak

Formed in 2004 by vocalist-guitarist Chuck Brown (The Gates of Slumber) with heavy hitter Corey Webb on drums, APOSTLE OF SOLITUDE released their debut ‘Sincerest Misery’(via Eyes Like Snow) in 2008 and the follow-up ‘Last Sunrise’ in 2010 (via Profound Lore as well as Eyes Like Snow) before adding vocalist-guitarist Steve Janiak (Devil to Pay) in 2011. The band released their epic third album ‘Of Woe and Wounds’ for Cruz Del Sur Music in 2014, followed by multiple tours across the US and triumphant 2016 European tour.

Apostle of Solitude’s fourth album, 2018’s “From Gold To Ash”, was widely heralded by fans and critics alike and considered a defining moment in American doom metal. Largely defined by the heartfelt and emotive dual vocals of Brown and Janiak, ‘From Gold To Ash’ covers a wide spectrum of heavy, from raging instrumentals to introspective guitar duos, monolithic doom riffs and reflective, melodic heartache. In support of that album, the band embarked on a southern US tour (with labelmates Pale Divine), their second European tour (including the Hammer of Doom festival at the revered Posthalle Wurzburg in Germany, and headlining the Doom Over Vienna festival in Austria), a special performance at the Maryland Doom festival, and a handful of Midwest US dates.

Written and recorded during the worldwide pandemic, Apostle of Solitude’s fifth album “Until the Darkness Goes” was tracked and mixed at Russian Recording in Bloomington, IN with studio mastermind Mike Bridavsky behind the board. Released in November of 2021, again on Italy’s Cruz Del Sur Music, “Until the Darkness Goes” continues to pick up accolades from the international doom metal community.

Bassist Marshall Kreeb (Devils of Belgrade) replaced longtime bassist Mike Naish in 2023. Further in 2024, Apostle of Solitude plans to tour again domestically and abroad in support of the new album.
