Perto do Amanhecer is the second studio album by Brazilian progressive rock group Apocalypse.

The compositions are in the symphonic prog rock way with influences of progressive British bands such as Yes, Marillion, IQ, Genesis and Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Keyboardist Eloy Fritsch's Minimoog solos and synthesizers are present on all tracks of this CD.

Musea invited the band to perform at a compilation, which came later as Le Melleur du Progressif Instrumental.

This CD was edited in the end of 1995 with several European bands and Apocalypse representing Brazil with the song "Notre Dame".
