Fleshgod Apocalypse - Mafia (2010)

this was recommended to me by another super cool metalhead dude and i would like to thank him because what we have here is a new wave of death metal...just the blast i needed to restore my faith in a somewhat dying, overcrowded, boring, genre of music that i've kind of gotten burnt out on, to be quite honest....but this band totally melts your face off with super fast riffs, technically precise guitar work, perfectly produced drums, and heavy growling vocals that are somewhat reminiscent of Suffocation until he decides to break out the clean vocals...wait, i know what you're thinking....clean vocals? what the hell?!...and i agree, that usually ruins it and i end up turning off the cd or skipping to the next track...but wait!! this shit isn't weak! i promise you....yeah he gets a little high pitched for a second and i start to think that the ghost of Ronnie James Dio has come to harvest my soul for shoplifting his Rainbow In The Dark album 9 years ago....but the vocals actually fit well with the music, surprisingly enough, and the clean vocals are used so sparingly that it gives the album a more textured sound but doesn't water it down in the least bit...this shit is pretty brutal, i must say...i like it....give it a listen and then go to the nearest Chinese buffet and eat as much octopus and Cthulhu spawn as you can stomach....i hear if you eat enough calamari, you'll start to grow tentacles, and those things could come in handy...or tentacally? a one man band performing live wouldn't seem so hard....dammit CTHULHU!!! why don't i have tentacles?!!! http://www.mediafire.com/?98n4aoba04dt9uz
