Apocrypha is the debut studio album by American heavy metal musician Nikki Stringfield.
[3] Todd Jolicoeur of 100% ROCK MAGAZINE stated that "Stringfield has unleashed a solo record unlike most from other six-string slingers… she takes the lead behind the guitar and the mic" and that "'Where the Demons Lie' is a straight forward rocker that features some churning and chugging riffs that carry the track from start to finish while Stringfield's vocals are draped perfectly across the track".
[4] Thomas Coffman of KNAC and Coffman Photography professed that "This album has a perfect combo of killer guitar riffs and vocals" going on to say that "The lyrics of each song are very well thought out and the music is played to perfection showing that she took her time to bring the most completed, solid result possible".
[5] XS Rock indicated that the work is "hard rock with touches of metal featuring varied harmonies, catchy hooks and riffs, and vocals that introduce something entirely new for Stringfield" continuing to indicate that "While most know her as just a pure guitarist, this new album has allowed her to showcase not just her instrumental skills, but her writing and singing skills as well".
[7] In January 2024, Stringfield plans to open in Las Vegas, Nevada for American heavy metal musician John 5.
