No other band in the country's history has taken ownership of and innovated on death metal quite like the Italians. Inspired by greats Morbid Angel, Deicide, and Cannibal Corpse as well as renowned composers Franz Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Ludwig Van Beethoven, Fleshgod Apocalypse have fused disparate genres and crafted a sound that's powerful, impressive, and unique across three full-lengths, the latest of which was 2013's critically-acclaimed "Labyrinth" effort. However, the group are only getting stronger. Add in film score composers such as John Williams, Hanz Zimmer, and Howard Shore and melodic death metal-Carcass and At the Gates-and there's clearly no stopping Fleshgod Apocalypse's creative ambitions. Review: Music - You can look up all the songs to make sure you enjoy them. Personally have enjoyed the CD, especially since I can't stand the radio anymore with all the ads that take up more of my drive than music anymore. Review: I love this album. - I really liked the last album, Labyrinth, but I feel like they over did it with the high falsetto male vocals. On this album, they dialed that back in favor of more natural male vocals and wisely left the majority of the higher range vocals to their soprano (who is pretty good; I wouldn't say she's great or exceptional, but definitely solid. I imagine it's quite tough being a soprano in a death metal band). The lead guitar/solo work on this album seems to be much improved as well. On Labyrinth, the lead work was solid, but was a little repetitive. This time it's diverse, it's skillful, even virtuosic. Much improved, indeed. This album just feels like a natural progression from their previous work; they've continued with the elements that work and matured enough to leave behind the elements that didn't work as well. That's exactly what you want from a band, right? ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01952RYDE | | Best Sellers Rank | #61,204 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #802 in Pop Metal (CDs & Vinyl) #25,727 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) #29,415 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (151) | | Date First Available | December 13, 2015 | | Label | Nuclear Blast | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Nuclear Blast | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2016 | | Product Dimensions | 4.88 x 5.61 x 0.4 inches; 3.52 ounces | ## Images ![King - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810I66Wm5BL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Music *by S***S on January 5, 2025* You can look up all the songs to make sure you enjoy them.

I was a huge fan of Agony, but while I enjoyed Labyrinth it didn't quite have the same impact as Agony. This made me a bit iffy about King. This is one of those albums that makes you go 'wow' like when you first heard awesome metal as a kid. Once you get past the brief opening symphonic track, you get hit in the face by 'In Aeternum,' which is epic. The metal heart of this album is brilliant. There are a few extraneous pieces for the adventurous music lover out there, like the tracks 'Paramour' and 'King.' While these are beautiful songs, I'm just not into opera so I uncheck them on iTunes. This is a must-have album. ## Frequently Bought Together - King - Veleno - Opera --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/24846599-king](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/24846599-king) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
