Matthew Konradt: Well, I felt like it needed a title that captured the essence of the concept of the album, so I figured the Latin word for apocalypse seemed appropriate. I also thought "Apocalypsis" had a catchy vibe to it.

Matthew: Most definitely. I've really been enjoying a lot of Fit For A King lately. I feel like they have a lot of talent and I am stoked for their new record.

Matthew: That's an excellent question. I suppose I wanted "Apocalypsis" to have a sound heavy enough to match the lyrical content. This album is technically part two in the Revelation concept story line for Relentless Pursuit. It mentions a lot of personal struggles, whether in a mental or spiritual context, and they're struggles I feel everyone goes through at one time or another in their lives. The fear of not making it to heaven is a big one for me personally. Eternal separation from God is not something that Christ wants anyone to go through, hence, His great sacrifice on the cross for us. I suppose the deathcore genre seemed like the appropriate way to go for this record from a lyrical standpoint.

Matthew: Honestly, I am not sure what God has in store for me or Relentless Pursuit. At the moment, I like the idea of remaining a solo artist, because I feel more independent. Like, I can choose to write more of what I feel and vent my frustrations through my music more easily.

Matthew: I definitely plan on taking my time with my musical releases from now on. I feel like I've finally learned that can really help in the production process.

Matthew: I hope that they are able to see the light through the darkness of the album. The album ends on a rather melancholy note because I wanted it to be as realistic and down to earth as possible. Unfortunately life doesn't always end well, especially if we don't put Christ first in our lives. I would like for people to see that the only real hope we have is in a loving God who understands us and who has been through a hell of sorts to prevent us from going there ourselves.

Matthew: I just want anyone who listens to my music to know I really appreciate them and their support. Thank you guys as well for all you do for us independent artists. God bless!
