Their latest record, 2017&#8217;s &#8216;HEX&#8217; embraces the severity of Pantera and Lamb of God and combines it with melodies reminiscent of Alice In Chains. The end result is an energetic and thrashing beast of a record.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Budapest trio have also had their fair share of controversy. In their home country of Hungary, right-wing politicians threatened to cancel their album release show because they were frightened by the effect and visuals of the act. Nevertheless, as the metal community commonly does, the issue became a widespread story, both in Hungary and overseas.\u00a0Due to their growing popularity,\u00a0<b>Apey &amp; the Pea<\/b> find themselves in the Netherlands this weekend as part of the music showcase and festival known as Eurosonic Noorderslag (ESNS).<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll admit our knowledge of Eastern European bands is a little scarce, we were intrigued to expand our musical knowledge of the region.
