Features Chuck Brown (The Gates of Slumber). Apostle of Solitude play classic doom metal like Solitude Aeternus, Candlemass, Cathedral and Black Sabbath. 'Sincerest Misery' contains 8 tracks of mid to slow doom metal with soaring clean vocals by mainman Chuck Brown (The Gates of Slumber). The Black Sabbath influence becomes especially apparent in the riffing and drumming departments which simultaneously carry a vibe of classic metal as well as stoner. Like long standing American doom act Solitude Aeternus, Apostle of Solitude slowly let their songs reach climax and momentum while always containing a recognizable hook or two. Much like The Gates Of Slumber this act's music is grand in scope and sounds triumphant despite the genre's desolate nature
