Perto do Amanhecer is an album by Brazilian progressive rock group Apocalypse. The compositions are in the symphonic prog rock way with strong influences of progressive British bands such as Yes, Marillion, IQ, Genesis and ELP. Keyboardist Eloy Fritsch's minimoog solos and synthezisers are present on all tracks of this CD. Some classical moments and even hard rock passages contribute to the diversity of the album -- the biggest characteristic of this work. The vibrance -— illustrated by the constant changes in rhythm, hard guitar chords, and a duel between the acoustic guitar and minimoog makes this album a truly creative work. The lyrics are in Portuguese and deal with several themes, such as existentialism, nature, science fiction, and mysticism.
