Their lost 1976 LP (used as a demo), with male\/female harmonies, violin, mellotron, and fuzzed-out guitars\/keys has been unearthed by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSteve \"Plastic Crimewave\" Krakow\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. With their lengthy and tuneful musical odysseys, Apocalypse conjures the golden mid-70s progressive period of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eRenaissance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoft Machine\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eELP\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGentle Giant\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenesis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.

Way back to 1976, when he was in high school, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Salvatori\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e teamed up with older brother \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Salvatori\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, Michael's wife \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eGail Salvatori\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e and Tom's classmate \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eScott Magnesen\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. As Apocalypse they recorded an album of pure progressive rock magic called \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Castle\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Although the five-song, 38-minute demo was an amazing showcase for their collective progressive rock leanings, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Castle\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e remained an unreleased artifact until 2021 when the reel-to-reel master tape of the presumably long-lost relic was rediscovered by Michael in a dusty old basement storage bin. Music fans can be thankful that Michael's rediscovery of the Apocalypse master tape has now led to a vinyl-only reissue of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cu\u003eThe Castle\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
