Hailing from Lancaster, PA, THIS OR THE APOCALYPSE brings what can only be regarded as “the thinking man’s mosh” to the world with their juggernaut of a debut release MONUMENTS! THIS OR THE APOCALYPSE encompasses a sound that melds the fine PA traditions that have brought us the likes of August Burns Red, A Life Once Lost and This Day Forward while taking their musical direction to a new and uncharted height. Exhibiting a veteran-like display of confidence and focus, THIS OR THE APOCALYPSE’s accelerated evolution redefines how bands come into their own. THIS OR THE APOCALYPSE tightrope walks between masterfully crafted time signatures, dense rock grooves and melodic atmosphere while having brutal breakdowns intertwining themselves with insanely intricate riffing, beautifully crafted musicianship and thought provoking lyrical content!

For fans of August Burns Red, Misery Signals, Shai Hulud and Underoath
