Album Review : Lost Society – Braindead

Known to be the language of Jesus himself Aramaic is but one of these linguistic vehicles, though his existence is questionable his presence throughout history has defined our culture as we know it.

Album Review : Fleshgod Apocalypse – King

February 4, 2016 No Comments

Combining the cinematic within a Metal environment has always been a diligent task that many have undertaken and fallen short. Having deep rooted foundations in both genres of Classical and Death Metal, Fleshgod Apocalypse have teetered between the two combining both polarising categories to a slightly clumsy interplay, until now. Carving a conceptual niche with their previous album Labyrinth the band are no strangers to the classic story. Bringing the term Rock Opera to a tongue in cheek fruition the band have assembled together for the oeuvre that is King.
