The history of "Apostles" has always been a strangeland for Armenians. Due to the nature and contents of their lyrics, Soviet censure did its best to muffle the Apostles. But whatever managed to penetrate through in form of sporadic concerts, demo tapes and amateur recordings, found a lot of affection from their fans. Apostles were certainly the embodiment of Armenian musical world through late 60's, early 70's, when the whole country was wrapped into the iron curtain, closed from the "outside world". That was the very reason that the voice of "Apostles" did not sound so loudly at its time. And only now, decades later, we reveal to ourselves the reality of those years. In mid 60's three students studying architecture at the Yerevan Politechnic Institure started playing a very unique blend of Armenian folklore, gothic music and modern rock. First known to many people simply as a band from Politechnic, they later became famous as "Apostles". Meschian and "Apostles" were singing about pain and sorrow, the historical heritage of the Armenian nation was very often present in their lyrics, endowing listeners with feelings of grief and pride wrapped into some kind of a magical blending of Armenian folklore and modern art rock. Meschian's lyrics touched philosophical questions of life's meaning, pain and mercy, joy and pride. Some of their songs were written for the lyrics of a great Armenian poet Musheg Eschan. "Apostles" never released any official albums, however they had many demo-tapes, some of which are considered rare. The only recording, which was planned, "Requiem", never appeared to be released. The band never made it to 80's, in fact, after Meschian left with his family to Boston, it became clear that the history of "Apostles" will always stay in our memories as the legend of 60's and 70's. Since then, one of the Apostles, Grigor Nalbandian passed away, Levon Melikian still lives in Yerevan.
