This album is probably what you could call the final battle with the old Cowboys… One can also look upon it as a summary of what Dark Side Cowboys have been doing during their first three years of existance, before the album was released. The Apocryphal is made like the soundtrack to a movie, dealing with the theme of “abuse of messages” and it strives to reach other depths within the listener than the previous release Pure Hearts EP. No singles were released from this album but some years after its appearance, DSC chose to include “Tears For You” as a built in single on the extended CDM Most. Hardcore Cowboy-fans might find it interesting to know that this album has also been officially released as a cassette in Poland.

The first official CD is the Pure Hearts EP. It was designed towards the always interesting topics love and friendship and carries some of the most popular songs throughout DSC’s history. It starts off with “Bloodred Moon”, a song that nowadays has become named a swedish “goth-classic”. But the song has also gained ground on the international scene, released on several compilations and also hitting top 5 on the South African alternative radio chart. Flooding on through “Red Day”, another of the Cowboys’ hits can be found in “UnfortuNataly”. This song came to be re-recorded and once again released in 1998, then in form of a single taken from the album High (1999).

Shots & Cuts give the listener a summary of what the Cowboys were up to on stage during 1993-94. Included are live-tracks from various performances, from the worst ones that never should have been done in the first place, to some better ones. Found within are exclusive tracks and versions that practically never can be done again… This is the fifth and final part in the Ars Moriensis story, the epilogue that ends with a lot of questions, perhaps never to be answered.
