'70s Chicago-area based band
Apocalypse
used their double-neck guitars to create chamber prog suites about faraway castles. Their lost 1976 LP (used as a demo), with male/female harmonies, violin, mellotron, and fuzzed-out guitars/keys has been unearthed by
Steve "Plastic Crimewave" Krakow
. With their lengthy and tuneful musical odysseys, Apocalypse conjures the golden mid-70s progressive period of
Renaissance
,
Soft Machine
,
ELP
,
Gentle Giant
, and
Genesis
. Travel back in time with the
Salvatori
family. Way back to 1976, when he was in high school,
Tom Salvatori
teamed up with older brother
Michael Salvatori
, Michael's wife
Gail Salvatori
and Tom's classmate
Scott Magnesen
. As Apocalypse they recorded an album of pure progressive rock magic called
The Castle
. Although the five-song, 38-minute demo was an amazing showcase for their collective progressive rock leanings,
The Castle
remained an unreleased artifact until 2021 when the reel-to-reel master tape of the presumably long-lost relic was rediscovered by Michael in a dusty old basement storage bin. Music fans can be thankful that Michael's rediscovery of the Apocalypse master tape has now led to a vinyl-only reissue of
The Castle
. Sourced from the original masters. Insert with photos and liner notes by Plastic Crimewave. Artwork by
Sara Gossett
.
