Album Reviews
Italy’s symphonic and technical death metal outfit Fleshgod Apocalypse returns with a bombastic new album ‘Opera’ after a long hiatus, offering one of their best albums. Out on Nuclear Blast Records.

Simulacrum is a mind-blowing work of art and it’s one of the best technical death metal albums which I have experienced in a very long time. FFO Nile, Suffocation, and Hour of Penance.
“The Oblivious Lure” is an average death metal record but the band has displayed their skills through music in a very convincing manner.
“Veleno” is Fleshgod Apocalypse best work to date, the album aptly describes the band’s matured sound and matchless quality.
Gorgon may have a different approach to symphonic death metal but from my point of view Elegy shows a fair effort from this band.
It’s all about the Gods Of Violence , the new acclaimed album of European thrash legends Kreator
