Apollo Under Fire is an Alternative Rock band whose core is formed by Donald Carpenter (SubmerseD, Eye Empire) and Peter Klett (Candlebox, Lotus Crush). In early 2014 the two were both coming off the road and had been presented with the opportunity to get in the studio and start writing. During this same time, Carpenter met Tom Costanza (Llamabeats), a self taught drummer from NYC, and invited him to join the group.
During the writing process the band name was born: Apollo is one of the most important and complex figures of Greek and Roman Mythology, the god of Music, Healing, Sun, Light, Poetry... A perfect choice for a band like AUF who root their message in the Spirit and it's purpose to the soul.
By the fall of 2014 Donald, Peter and Tom had the songs for Apollo's debut release ready and began the recording process at LaLa Mansion in Tampa, Florida with Peter at the helm.

After two years of painstaking determination and enduring patience, the guys in Apollo Under Fire signed with Cavigold Records and EMP Management / Label Group headed by David Ellefson (Megadeth) and Thom Hazaert and have begun the process of building their Live Audience. 

Apollo Under Fire self-titled album was released last June 3. Check the lyric video for the single Gotta Believe here and sample the whole album clicking on the image.
