Rome, Italy-based death metal band FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE has completed work on a new EP entitled "Mafia" at 16th Cellar Studios in the group's hometown with producer Stefano "Saul" Morabito. The CD will be released on June 8 via Willowtip Records.

Commented bassist/vocalist Paolo Rossi: "The album focuses on the connection between racketeering and illness. It's like a hidden sickness that consumes us from deep within and that can't be erased unless you decide to wake up and face it.

"'Mafia' is like an octopus whose tentacles grab everyone's free will, and pushes everybody in fear.

"'Mafia' is dedicated to all the people who lost their life fighting against these criminals."

The "Mafia" recording lineup was as follows:

Tommaso Riccardi - Lead Vocals, Guitars
Paolo Rossi - Vocals, Bass
Cristiano Trionfera - Vocals, Guitars
Francesco Paoli - Drums, Guitars and Vocals
Francesco Ferrini - Piano

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE will take part in the "Legacy Of Blood" European tour this March with headliners SUFFOCATION.

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE last year parted ways with drummer Francesco Struglia and replaced him with Francesco Paoli.

The band's last CD, "Oracles", was recorded in May 2008 at 16th Cellar Studio.

Featuring members of HOUR OF PENANCE, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE plays death metal with a "classical" approach; inspired by CANNIBAL CORPSE and SUFFOCATION, and infuenced by J.S. Bach and L. Van Beethoven.

also,

You have been one of the band's biggest supporters so you are the first one I notified after posting the new songs on my forum. Hopefully some people will actually buy the release and not just look for the full album download.

From Witches' Brew to me on last.fm. Weird/cool.

Anyone heard the new Rotting Christ?

 

[IntoPhagist]

New Rotting Christ at first seemed decent but totally sucks compared to anything before it.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Top albums so far...

Orphaned Land - The Never Ending Way of ORwarriOR
Borknagar - Universal
Burzum - Belus
Fear Factory - Mechanize
Charred Walls of the Damned - S/T

New Rotting Christ at first seemed decent but totally sucks compared to anything before it.

I figured that'd be the gist of it. It's hard to top Khronos and Genesis imo

Anyway, I'm psyched to check this one out:

 

[Einherjar86]

That cover art is awesome, and after reading about them on Metal Archives I too am now excited to check out that record. Thanks Eli!

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Fuck The Sword.

 

[Dak]

Srsly.

 

[Einherjar86]

I've enjoyed what I've heard from The Sword, but not enough to purchase a record.

 

[VelociBrad]

New Scythe? cool. Will keep an eye out for it.

 

[Belligerent]

Anyway, I'm psyched to check this one out:

Just heard them for the first time, looking forward to this now.

 

[Eligos]

I think it's out already.

 

[Einherjar86]

Yeah, I'm really psyched about those guys after having read about them.

 

[Eligos]

Dude, they're great. It's like Secrets of the Moon before it started sounding contrived and with more Graveland influence.
