The band is Ape Shifter. They are from Germany—where rock is king, and they are the future.
Ape Shifter is a heavy instrumental rock trio hailing from Germany. Since forming in 2015, the band has been making waves with an innovative, genre-defying sound driven by crushing riffs, technical precision, and fearless creativity.
Renowned for their intense live performances and complex arrangements, the trio has built a devoted fan base through years of focused collaboration and musicianship. Their music blends heavy rock with elements of jazz, '70s rock, and experimental influences, pushing well beyond traditional boundaries.
In the studio and on stage, Ape Shifter crafts expansive, cinematic compositions—long, intricate tracks that unfold like musical narratives. While undeniably heavy, their sound carries a sense of playfulness and surprise, keeping audiences locked in with every twist and turn.
With a growing international following, Ape Shifter stands as one of Germany's premier instrumental rock acts—and a force to be reckoned with.
