The Apocalypse demo is a 5 track death metal demo and the first release by Australian nu metal band Superheist It was their rarest recording (before it was re-released in 2018), as well as their earliest and heaviest. Apocalypse was released as a demo to record companies, radio stations, and magazines in 1994, a year after the creation of the band. The demo was later remastered and re-released as a digital release on 27 April 2018.[1]
The demo was recorded in mid to late 1994 by guitarist DW Norton and producer Mark Rachelle at Backbeach studio in Rye, Victoria It was later distributed on cassette through Warhead Records. The original Superheist logo was conceived by DW Norton and additional artwork and layout done by Cam Tucker. This early recording is a good example of the extreme metal roots of a band that is mostly known for its nu-metal releases.
