ATLANTA, GA metal trio APOSTLE have announced their forthcoming full-length album A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon, set for release June 5, 2026 via Terminus Hate City. Alongside the announcement, the band has unveiled the album’s first single, “Swine”, accompanied by a visualizer.
Formed in 2017, APOSTLE have built a reputation for blending the aggression of grindcore and chaotic hardcore with the atmosphere of post-black metal and the melodic weight of shoegaze and post-rock. Their sound is urgent, emotive, and cathartic, drawing influence from bands such as Plebeian Grandstand, Yellow Eyes, Wiegedood, Mourier, and Kły. With A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon, the Atlanta trio deliver their most cohesive and devastating work to date.
“Swine” erupts with panicked tremolo melodies and punishing rhythmic shifts, channeling collective frustration into controlled chaos. Lyrically, the track confronts systems of oppression, consequence, and accountability, using stark imagery and visceral delivery to underscore the emotional and political weight behind its message. The song captures APOSTLE at their most confrontational while maintaining the dynamic depth and melodic sensibility that define the band’s evolving identity.
The album title references Carl Jung’s description of humanity as a “splinter in the infinite deity,” framing the record as an exploration of spiritual duality, grief, and self-examination. Across six tracks and 27 minutes, the band move through themes of loss, mortality, internal conflict, and eventual healing. The record serves as both a meditation on the human condition and a deeply personal tribute shaped by grief and remembrance.
Produced, engineered, and mixed by Connor Ray at Sobek Sound and mastered by Erol Ulug at Bright Lights, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon presents APOSTLE in their most refined and expansive form.
About APOSTLE:
APOSTLE are an emotive and urgent metal trio from Atlanta, Georgia whose sound bridges chaotic hardcore, grind, post-black metal, and atmospheric post-rock. Formed in 2017, the band channels themes of grief, spirituality, emotional vulnerability, and the human condition into music that balances overwhelming intensity with moments of stark beauty and reflection.
Following early independent releases including Shallow Graves (2018), Sufferer (2019), and I Have Tried to Speak Through the Soil in My Mouth (2021), APOSTLE underwent a defining lineup shift when founding vocalist Cameron Austin departed in 2021. Guitarist Murice White assumed full vocal duties while Michael Thomas transitioned to bass, solidifying the lineup alongside drummer Evan Price. This evolution marked a turning point in the band’s creative direction, deepening both their sonic atmosphere and emotional scope.
Since signing with Terminus Hate City in 2022, APOSTLE have continued refining a sound defined by urgency, catharsis, and dynamic contrast. Their music moves fluidly between blistering aggression and expansive melodic passages, reflecting an intent to confront pain, loss, love, and healing with honesty rather than abstraction.
Their latest album, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon, represents the band’s most fully realized work to date. Drawing from existential philosophy and deeply personal experiences with grief and remembrance, the record explores humanity’s connection to something greater while acknowledging the struggle inherent in being human. Across its runtime, APOSTLE seek connection through shared emotional experience, transforming personal suffering into collective release.
