The Apprehended take the technicality of modern progressive metal, mix it in with the anger and aggression from metalcore, add a dash of chaos, and a healthy helping of big anthemic, sing along choruses and mix them together. The Apprehended strive to make forward moving music with nods toward traditional styles within their genre. Honest lyrics with powerful instrumentation drive this band to the edge of chaos and back. With a live show that has been described as volatile, venomous, and chaotic The Apprehended’s stage show is not one to be.
With Friends Like These recorded their debut full-length album with Andrew Wade (A Day to Remember, Neck Deep, The Ghost Inside). With everything from pounding, technical breakdowns to soothing acoustic guitar, melodious textures of pianos and synths to an a capella choir and a bridge you’d expect to hear in a Zac Brown Band album, they provide versatility that will give any listener something to love. The band released their first two singles via YouTube. The album is set to be released early 2016.
