18/12/2019 - New album - Apostle of Infinite Joy out on 21.2.2020
Greetings!
We are - finally - more than happy to inform you that Antipope's 5th studio album will be released on February 21st 2020. The album entitled "Apostle of Infinite Joy" will present Antipope at its most melodic, heaviest and esoteric so far. The changes in the line-up over the past couple of years did invigorate the song writing and help us to strengthen our conviction. The result is something you sure don't want to miss.
The album will be published by a US record label Fertile Crescent Productions, who will take care of the world-wide distribution of the album to make it sure that it hits the record stores and streaming services near you.

Come next year, there's more to come. Meanwhile, check out the album teaser for Apostle of Infinite Joy on our YouTube channel.

Until the next time...
18/07/2019 - Joni Tauriainen joins Antipope as the new bass player
[p]Cheers!
It's been a while since the last update but we are excited to share some recent news with you all.
First of all, after a few tries and misfires, we managed to find a new member to fill the not-so-easily-met requirements of the bass player of Antipope. Hailing from North Eastern Finland, [url="http://www.antipope.info/info.php"]Joni Tauriainen[/url] rips the low frequencies to pieces with the savage fury of untamed woodlands. This particular style happens to fit in very well with what Antipope is all about.
Secondly, the "Antipope album number 5" is well on its way to be finalised. We are currently working with final mixes as all pieces have already been put together.
Thirdly, we got little something audio-visual coming up as we prepare to move on from the era of Denial/Survival to the next chapter in the story of Antipope.
Stay savage![/p]

30/06/2018 - Antipope welcomes Pete Cooke as the new bass player

11/10/2017 - New Lyric Music Video of Waters Below
Check out the new lyrics music video of "Waters Below", the opening track from Denial/Survival.
Denial/Survival is coming out on November 15th 2017 on both digital and physical formats.
13/09/2017 - Denial/Survival -album announcement
(From Antipope facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Antipope)
Greetings!
As we've been finalizing the mix of the upcoming new album the time has finally come to make a few announcements.
The 4th Antipope album is titled "Denial/Survival" and it contains the following ten tracks:
1. Waters Below
2. Flat Circle
3. Denial/Survival
4. Der Sadist
5. Hunt
6. True Anarchist (O banquiero anarquista)
7. Mindlessness Meditation
8. An Unconditional Ritual to Summon the Prince of Darkness
9. Tragic Vision
10. Resolution
(total running time approx. 53 minutes).
Stylistically, Denial/Survival represents the spirit of Antipope probably in its purest form so far by breaking the boundaries between various styles of metal and more. If you prefer an album that keeps you on your toes and has something to give until the very last minute, you won't be disappointed.
The exact release date is yet to be set, but it's most likely going to be sometime in late October/November 2017.
Stay vigilant for further updates.
07/12/2016 - Official video of White Summer Night

Meanwhile, Go check out the new video!

23/08/2012 - Antipope parts ways with bass player
Antipope and bass player Santtu Heinilehto have parted the ways after eight years. The decision was made by mutual agreement with absolutely no drama involved.
The reason behind the departure of Santtu was his loss of interest in playing and in music in general, and a wish to direct his energy to other aspects of life.
Mikko's statement on behalf of the band:
"It is of course a sad moment when someone you have played and created music with for 20 years decides to quite. But more important than keeping on doing things just for the sake of the tradition is to stay true to yourself. Only by being honest with what you do, you can be true to others around you and also evolve as a person. As everyone knows, music is such an intuitive experience that you cannot partake the creation of it if you are not there with every cell of your being, not at least on the level Antipope operates. Personally, I wish very best for Santtu, who besides playing bass in Antipope, has been a friend for over 20 years."
Antipope will continue its unscrupulous existence as a quartet.
Meanwhile, Antipope has been working on the follow-up to last years "House of Harlot" album. The recording of the album is well on the way and the band expects a release in early 2013.

An official statement from the band concerning the upcoming full-length album:
During March 2011 we finished recording the instrumentation for the follow-up to Desert. This is going to be something totally different from Desert, yet very Antipopish in it\'s character. Once again, we couldn\'t care less what kind of music is expected from a band that is mainly labeled as a metal act. Those who have followed our undertakings through the years will be positively surprised by our new material. Or not. Vocals will be recorded in July and some kind of a promotional release through internet is planned for August.

15/10/2010 - First Antipope live show in Raahe plus new live pics
Grrreetings!
On 20th of November 2010 Antipope will share the stage in Bio Huvimylly, Raahe, with Chromatic Dark (Oulu), Chained and Last Rose (both from Raahe).
Here is a link to last.fm event: Last.fm
The venue is an old movie theater. The atmosphere will be spectacular, do doubt about that. So there is no better chance to witness Antipope live show with 3 other great bands.
The first band will start around 18:30, so this is exceptionally early event.
A couple of new photos were just added here and there. Roam around the site and see if you can find them.
The autumn spreads her fiery wings,
Cheers!

Happy New Year 2010 everyone!

A whole new decade is ahead of us so let\\\'s try to make best of it.

29/07/2009 - Summer 2009 update from the band
Greetings.
Instead of holidaying we have managed to keep ourselves quite busy in addition to the usual summer activities ie. going to festivals and so on.
Too long anticipated follow-up to "Chaosmos" is finally being prepared for release in both CD and online format. Entitle "Excessive Use of Faith" and carrying three songs of black heavy metal we feel that the up-coming EP is definitely the strongest work by the band so far - as it should be. Final release date is still obscure depending on how long it takes to get the records from pressing. Online release is planned to be around 13th of August.
Around the time of EUF being released we also take the stage once again. On Friday 14th of August we perform alongside Baptism and progressive black metal excellence Enochian Crescent at the official after party of Jalometalli 2009 festivals in Oulu, Finland.
Stay blasphemous!

Due to the tragic loss of the drummer by the end of June the band spent the whole of August in search of a new drummer. After auditioning several candidates and careful consideration the band welcomed Tuska E. as a new member to fill the line-up.
There has also occured a couple of updates here in Palace of Antipope. Band info section and especially members section is finally getting some content. We also have a new gallery set up, which still needs a lot of tuning, however.
