Explore the sacred domains

Apocryphal Ending was a melodic black/death metal band from Rome, Lazio, Italy, active from 2007 until an unspecified date before disbanding. Their name evokes a sense of eschatological ambiguity — a final chapter shrouded in doubt, introspection, and personal reckoning.

The band’s lyrical themes centered on introspection and personal feelings, suggesting a more emotional and inward-facing approach to extreme metal. Musically, Apocryphal Ending blended the aggression of death metal with the atmosphere and melodic sensibilities of black metal, likely drawing influence from both Scandinavian and Mediterranean traditions.

Though unsigned and operating independently, the band contributed to the Roman underground scene during the late 2000s. No official discography or lineup details are publicly available, and their activity appears to have ceased quietly, leaving behind only a faint trace in the archives of Italian extreme music.

Their brief existence and minimal documentation reinforce the project’s elusive nature — a fleeting voice in the shadows, echoing with unresolved emotion and existential weight.
