Apolaustic was formed by the former Stortregn
vocalist/guitarist Romain Negro as an outlet for him to
express his personal vision. At once scathing and
stirring, the sharp, insistent riffs go hand in hand
with elegant melodies that never outstay their welcome.
The aggression and poignancy is beautifully managed with
plenty of variations provided to highlight those
emotions at the right times. After experiencing the
turmoil of life, the aching pain in the melodies is all
too palpable. "No Plenitude Without Suffering" is a
heartfelt, meticulously put together, pristine-sounding
debut from a veteran musician that is bound to stand the
test of time if only on the basis of the sheer quality
of melodies contained within.
"'No Plenitude Without Suffering' is melodic Black Metal
that has a rich, resonant production behind it, and for
my money, an excellent flow of tracks, the occasional
horn instrumentation and a catchiness and melody that
stays with you, even after the album concludes after its
40-minute runtime." -- vm underground
