Like a Gothic rave, Witness the Apotheosis pounds out danceable electronic synth and bass paired with foreboding vocals and haunting samples. New wave or rock fans less familiar with the influences named above are more likely to detect traces of Depeche Mode or Bauhaus in this act's sound. Witness the Apotheosis has been around for just about a year, but recently began actively booking shows and reaching out to other electronic acts in the area. Earlier this month, the trio played at the Athens Pagan Pride Festival, and there really couldn't be a more fitting venue for this sound than that event.
