LABYRINTH : THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR!

Just as I expected, Fleshgod Apocalypse’s LABYRINTH did it again with 17 out of 38 votes (44%)! There's a lot to say about this album, but I'll keep it brief...



I still get the same feeling as the first day when I listened to it! Once I click play, TARAA, I'm transported to Knossos inside a labyrinth, hearing the sounds of pain, sorrow, death, and revenge in every verse I read and every prayer he prayed. The lyrics are so emotional and strong, full of sentiments, suffering, and pain. As much as Tommaso attracts us with his voice, Francesco Paoli excites us with the drums. Cristiano and Paolo played important roles as well; when the riffs and solos embrace the orchestra, something truly epic and atmospheric is born! We can obviously taste the tech death! And after all this war and brutality, after screaming and seeking revenge, the master of keyboard, Francesco Ferrini, concludes the album with an instrumental masterpiece entitled Labyrinth, which truly blows the mind!

The album, in general, is well worked. What I like the most about FA is that they're so unique and original!

I think that's all. I don't have anything else to add. I'll just suggest you check out the album if you haven't already, especially if you're looking for some good symphonic technical death metal!
