Episode 25: APES

Canadian, extreme-metal unit APES just put out their second full-length record, Penitence, on Secret Swarm Records — with the band finding new ways to fulfil their mission statement of being heavy and relentless.

I caught up with drummer Gabriel D’Amours to discuss the latest record, the history of the band and how Gabriel keeps his life centred around music.
