Apriaca, from Carinthia/Austria, was founded by Johannes Jakober, Dominik Sauper, Anton Pichler and Manuel Manges in the year 2005. At that time it was just a bandproject that plays Metal- and Rocksongs with acoustic guitars. In spring 2006 the band heard about a national Bandcontest, and along the lines of “nothing left to lose” the band took part at it. They grabbed their electric guitars and wrote three songs out of the material of Dom’s and Jak’s former bands.
Three months later and kind of astonished they found themselves in the final round of that band contest and they got a lot of positive criticism. During summer they concentrated on writing new songs for their first studio album, which they wanted to record in autumn 2006.
Finally, in september the boys entered the studio and under the working title „Four maniacs, one passion“ their first CD was recorded. Meanwhile, in summer 2007, Patrick Steiner joined Apriaca as their new bassist. Anton unfortunately left the band out of personal reasons.
Apriaca is a band with the aim of going beyond the bounds of their country and step into the world of Rock `n Roll.
The band fits into the genre of Metal/Hard-Rock, influenced by Trash- and Heavy Metal Bands such as Metallica, Megadeth, Sepultura, Pantera and Judas Priest but also Bands of the newer Generation like Billy Talent, Trivium and Bullet for my Valentine have a huge impact.
Apriaca is not out there long enough to draw a conclusion of where the band is going to move. They got one album, but everybody who thinks that he can classify the guys after those eight songs is very likely wrong, because the four “Misfits” out of the Moelltal are always good for a surprise, is it on stage or in studio. |
