Apostasie play melodic black metal with historical and atheist themes. In their first album
‘Non Est Deus,’ they narrate the ‘Historia Ecclesiastica Perversa’ – the madness of dog-
mas, and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church.
The album discusses events in the so-called Christian “history of salvation”, the Latin-Ro-
man church history, as well as the closely related European history. These events and pro-
cesses are staged as moments of religious madness, dogmatic contradiction and, at the
same time, rational criticism and resistance.
The events described cover the period from the so-called “turning point of time”, i.e. the
birth of Christ, to the so-called Reformation of the Latin-Roman church by Martin Luther.
