    Apostaclypse, the debut studio album from Stoner Rock band Astro Baron, was recorded late summer 2012 by Greg Roller in Branson, Missouri. This heavily guitar saturated concept album, based on classical mythology, the rise and fall of an ancient Paladin and his eventual rebirth and ascension. With spiritual undertones it questions our place in this universe as well as the interplay of individuals. First, blasting off with “The Wizard”, setting the scene, story and the tone of the album. Moving toward the sludgy “Keeper of time” where the Paladin gives his decree to the gods. As the story continues it reaches its breaking point at “Outer Limits” as the gods begin their search for their once humble servant now turned thief. Climaxing with "Spirals", a progressive stoner confession to reality, culminating a decree for all of those who should follow in his footsteps. Apostaclypse includes 9 hard hitting tracks ringing in at just under 50 minutes.

1.
The Wizard 03:12
The gods sit upon their throne of bone The witches fortel of what the future holds Born of fire as the age begins The Astro Baron will soon rise again The witches escape burn the atmosphere The demon awakes drives the earth to fear Covered in blood the hero finds his blade Destroy the beast your legend will be made Betrayed before the sun precedes to shine The Star Explodes Blackens out the sky Vengeance is vowed he will be reborn The Wizard ascends becomes their only hope
2.
Born into a schism A different doctrine The one of old Bestowed with infinite wisdom Unlimited power to fight the wars Taught by clerics and sages Men of the ages The gods themselves Betrayed left to wither I'm back to break their stranglehold Mind, body and spirit I will take you to another world Deny those who oppress you The won't give you what I will Now I'm the Astro Baron Keeper of time Bender of light And I will forsake them Steal the treasure That is your life Mind, body and spirit I will take you to another world Deny those who oppress you They won't give you what I will
3.
War Machine 05:36
Commander of the Oron Defender of the last right Tithed in life But things won't be the same He's locked his mind away Going down Everything he held Just Slipped away Through flesh and bone You won't save me From the fire in my mind And I Can't understand it So I won't be denied Despite his last plea Peace met through reasoning The rage takes hold I won't run your War Machine Your threats don't mean a thing The gods cry out Everything in life fades eventually But not this time You won't save me From the fire in my mind And I can't understand it So I won't be denied it And I run
4.
The Creeper 06:04
I hid, I hid my soul Behind a star so bright You can search, but you'll never find Where my soul now resides I travel through time Travel through space The villains lament remains Hold me down Bind me to my sin The Astro Baron begins I found, I found his soul Entwined to my my own A gift, from the gods of high The ones he dare deny I'll travel through time Travel through space Complete his fall from grace Hold him down Bind him to his sin The Astro Baron will end
5.
Outer Limits 04:54
A man stands alone in the ancient hall of Avalon With hatred in his eyes enough to smash the gods The elders foretold fo his planned powers As lighting bears down on the temple tower And when I reach the outer limits They won't find me where I run I'll do the best that I can To hid my soul behind the sun Taken by the fear he is crawling through the night alone As the plan aligns to steal his soul The wrath of the gods must not be spent The pain of his death he now ascends And when I reach the outer limits They won't find me where I run I'll do the best that I can To hide my soul behind the sun The gods are crying out his name An age in which he feels no pain Thrust upon the universe The crux of time will be his curse
6.
Turn Away 04:40
In the night The come to take The only thing that's really yours Steal the power That has been yours since birth Come with me I'll give you back All you've ever had In the land of ever life There is no turning back Full of lies are the gods The only Take Turn away, never look back Press forward, repel their attack Beyond the stars That have burned For a thousand years Lies a place That renders dreams That once were your fears Place your trust in yourself And never disavow Stay the course Raise your flags Remove the tattered rags Full of lies are the gods The only take Turn away, never look back Press forward, repel their attack
7.
In the misty fog Fall upon a hill I saw your face Tormented for so long Time can't heal my scars I come crawling back To the foot of the alter Where it all began And I can see so clearly Yes I can see where they failed me Yes I can see so clearly That you're never coming back Steams of morning light Break in through the dawn And open up my eyes Dreams that were to be All come crashing down Buried under your lies All of my trust I misplaced In you For once in my life I wish I could go turn back the hands of time And I can see so clearly Yes I can see where they failed me Yes I can see so clearly That your'e never coming You're never coming You're never coming back
8.
Ashes to Ice 06:48
Pull now from the glow The truth is hard to understand Drawing from the orb Your life is slipping through your hands Lost in space and time Your eyes fall upon a child Neglected by you mind You fly Defiant as the cold The blood running through your veins Memory of a past life Decaying what remains Madness of the void Is turned upon the sky Neglected by your mind You fly What's a man without a cause What's the truth when it's undone And though he doesn't know The fight has now begun
9.
Spirals 05:42
Nothing you can do can make your world complete Deceived in my mind you haunt me in my dreams I stand before the throne with vengeance in my eyes Hunted by the gods unknown by my disguise Drug by the shift Struck by the waves Spiral and gone Pieces of the past Chronicled pain Tepid rule Slaver to the frail and morrow to the gods Demonize the weak Lavish them with scars War within the past Your rage will soon succumb Prepare for the end Our futures become one Drug by the shift Struck by the waves Spiral and gone Pieces of the past Chronicled pain Tepid rule All that you hate All you contrive All that you love Burns in the sky And as you decay I am reborn All that you wished Scorched by the sun View the world through jilted eyes The sky consumes but can't disguise that Nothing changes but the sun You just might see what you've become Wear your hatred like a crown I hold you up, you push me down Crumbling worlds won't be the end Your mind recessed where it began
