Apostle dive into a thunderous sonic explosion juxtaposed against cathartic dynamics in their next single »Exiting The God Hologram«. This offering is first on the tracklist of the band’s forthcoming full-length album, »A Splinter In The Infinite Noumenon«, scheduled for release on June 5, 2026 via Terminus Hate City.
In »Exiting The God Hologram« Apostle encourage listeners to sit with discomfort and the understanding that there is not one singular ‘correct’ way to experience or traverse through life. The song contains striking imagery of a blood-filled sea splitting in half and exposing the ground and aquatic life churning behind a curtain of surf. As a result of the split, two paths lay ahead – one right, one left. Whichever path is taken, only one view of reality, of ‘truth’, will be experienced.
The song begins with the approaching rumble of a train passing by at night, recorded from vocalist and guitarist Murice White’s apartment. Proceeding into the first section of »Exiting The God Hologram«, powerful percussion provides the intensity that drives this portion of the musical arrangement. All-encompassing guitars and low bass melodies are joined by White’s anguish-fueled harsh vocals.
A sudden short, sharp hit distinguishes the two characters of the track. A shadowy melody entwines amongst a pendulum-like groove. »Exiting The God Hologram« progresses through emotive passageways while anthemic energy arises from Murice and Michael’s vocals. The track ends returning to the void out of which it emerged, leaving behind a somber yet hopeful melody that awaits in the distance.
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.
