{"product_id":"impending-doom-apocalypse-iii-the-manifested-purgatorium-cd-vinyl","title":"Impending Doom - Apocalypse III (The Manifested Purgatorium) - CD\/Vinyl","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Thuringian band, originally formed in 1993 under a different name and known as IMPENDING DOOM since 1995 – throughout its ten years of activity – gained recognition far beyond Germany’s borders through its expertly crafted blend of various Metal styles as evidenced by its numerous releases – including three studio albums – as well as more than 200 concerts played at home and abroad.\u003cbr\u003eAlthough 25 years have already passed since the release of their third and final album, the interest in IMPENDING DOOM’s legacy still seems undiminished.\u003cbr\u003eAt long last, Darkness Shall Rise Productions has taken on this chapter of German Metal history in its tried-and-tested manner. No expense or effort has been spared in reissuing (almost) the entire body of IMPENDING DOOM’s work – comprising the releases from the pre-album phase and the three albums, including bonus material.\u003cbr\u003eThese definitive editions, crafted with great attention to detail, present the tracks with significantly improved sound quality whilst also leaving nothing to be desired in terms of layout and design ensuring that both long-standing fans and those who are only just discovering IMPENDING DOOM will be equally delighted.\u003cbr\u003eThere is no doubt that IMPENDING DOOM’s third and final album Apocalypse III – The Manifested Purgatorium is their most aggressive and brutal release to date. Unlike many other bands, who become increasingly watered-down and softer over the course of their careers in the hope of greater success, IMPENDING DOOM’s development seems to have followed exactly the opposite path. From album to album, the intensity and directness have increased. On Apocalypse III in particular, the band seem to have cast aside all unnecessary frills in order to distil the very essence of their sound in a completely unbridled and unfiltered manner.\u003cbr\u003eTracks such as “Hatespawn”, “Obscure funeral” and “Revocation of creation” – to name but a few – captivate not only with their raw intensity, delivered with the pedal to the metal and at a superb technical level, but also with the stylistic originality – a blend of Black, Thrash and Death metal elements – that has been characteristic of IMPENDING DOOM since their first demo. Apocalypse III is the band’s definitive statement not only because it’s their final album but because it showcases the horde in its most developed and vicious form.\u003cbr\u003eIncluding tons of unseen pictures and a new interview with all band-members.\u003cbr\u003eMastered and restored by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony in March 2026.\u003cbr\u003eApocalypse III (The Manifested Purgatorium) is available as LP in two colors and jewel-case CD.\u003cbr\u003eJewel-case CD with 24-page booklet.\u003cbr\u003e1.
