Agony

Italy's brutally symphonic horde, Fleshgod Apocalypse, are finally ready to unleash their latest opus upon the world. They have made their mark with the 2009 full-length Oracles and 2010's impressive Mafia EP. These albums have shown tremendous growth in their sound, blossoming into the more refined, more exact and brutally catchy songs found on Agony. They have toured the US once with Suffocation and The Faceless, quickly carving a niche in the extreme metal world in their relatively short existence. Already one of the most talked about bands in the scene, all the ingredients are ripe for a total takeover in 2011. Their follow-up to breakthrough album Oracles is a punishing assault that perfectly showcases their unique mixture of technical death metal with more symphonic elements. A must have for fans of Dimmu Borgir and Behemoth, Fleshgod Apocalypse are poised to conquer with the exquisite Agony and their nationwide Summer Slaughter Tour 2011 alongside The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel, Darkest Hour, Six Feet Under, Dying Fetus and more.
