Fleshgod Apocalypse - "Blinded By Fear" (At The Gates Cover)

[Rectavious]

It's a good cover, the drums are just a lil over the top.

[bradvssasha]

ok well you just fucked up and epic

[timples]

Fleshgod doing it right.

[fatfatat444]

Yes, old Fleshgod...FUCKIN' AWESOME!

[LobsterBrunch828]

And I thought the original was amazing; this is just a step up from even that!

[Roobiekun]

Hey, not bad. I still love the original, but this is a good cover. Thanks for sharing, ZRC!

[xxmvpmanxx]

I believe if the mixing was better, more people would like it.

[dendrummeeeerrrr]

blasttastic <3

[thousanddragons]

to be fair i dont know which i prefer, the higher vocals go better with the song but the blasts are just mind blowing.

[Bawb17]

WOW they fucking owed it!! :D

[alex524524524]

no guessing which member of the band got a bit carried away here

[OTOATameem]

@alex524524524

as soon as the song kicked in, i read this comment and almost died laughing. thanks haha.

[decrepitvoid]

@alex524524524 Was it the Keyboardist?

[JLH121596]

Amazing song! but the drums are a little too over powering

[pcrvg0808]

@JLH121596 There is no such thing. But then again i play the drums,....

[TrashMojo]

the drummer fucking raped the song, jesus christ! just tears through it, the subtle accents on the ride are awesome if you catch them

[dendrummeeeerrrr]

@TrashMojo omfg nice!

[drummin4InTheShadows]

the drummers completle mindblowing but he kinda screwed up this song

[Andre83925]

The original much better than this...:/

[slimininin]

@Andre83925 if you want the original, go listen to the original. this is a cover

[Andre83925]

@slimininin if you are interested in your opinion, I ask

[slimininin]

@Andre83925 wat

[thebrutalisk]

BLASTURBATION!

[ivancalvario]

con esta rola si se me antoja un ron especiado marca kraken

[WhiteSkanderbegSS]

Viva Comissar Catani!

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

Lol the drums doesnt fit to the song. Its too overdosed. It sounds like he is blasting on a plastic box. Vocals are ok in general........guitars are too quiet. The shitty drumming is too much and too loud.

[1areyouretarded1]

@ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01 HA, shitty drumming? Are you for real? Adrian Erlandsson is shit. Francesco Paoli's drumming is INCREDIBLE. Pushing the boundaries of speed, precision and bringing a classic metal song into a new era.

At The Gates should stay in the metal cretascious period and worship the new idol of metal, Fleshgod Apocalypse.

[MetalReigns2]

@1areyouretarded1 really? You're really going to insult at the gates like that? At the gates is fucking amazing, shut your fucking mouth, both bands rule you dickhead.

[bangsjamin]

@1areyouretarded1 At The Gates' first two albums surpass everything Fleshgod has ever done... it's not even close. Fleshgod Apocalypse is still awesome but come on, it's At The Gates we're talking about here. They're legends, and I'm sure the guys from FA would agree.

[LucvdMortel]

@bangsjamin

I prefer Fleshgod to At the Gates. But I do think that At The Gates indeed is a huge inspiration for the boys from Fleshgod.

[MetalGutT]

@1areyouretarded1 Yeh bro George Kolias did all this shit when these kids were going though puberty. And is still prob better then all of them put together, soooo u should hit up some nile shit bro bro

[xspithiax]

wow, the blast beats sounds like shit in the cover

[animeroks69]

Okay, wtf. everyone says the drummer is on the cover but I don't see nothin but a giant squid, a house, and a lighthouse.

[EterniumOfficial]

@animeroks69 The squid.

[sugessad]

@animeroks69 Are you that stupid?

[animeroks69]

@sugessad It has nothin to do with stupidity. Are you that much of a troll? ^^

[BoyerIsHere22]

I like this version better than the original.

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

@BoyerIsHere22

Lol hell no !!!

[ZOMBIEGORE1000]

This is just my opinion it sounds very close to the original

[roxzor1993]

I think they did this song justice. I like how t hey made it sound like it's one of their songs.

[ROCKKERFAT]

This song is a classic of Swedish Metal!!!!

[ironjustice13]

At the gates original is way better.

[Y3TIFREAK]

@ironjustice13 agreed. vocals suck

[darklordbaf]

The drums are good... But they are a bit annoying, imo. The cover overall is okay.

[RebelOnAWarpath]

i am a drummer and i really don't give a fuck about the original or copy, but those blasts are fucking sick, fuck the rest of anythng else, hell take all the other instruments out and i'd still be happy, lol but thats just commin from a drummer

[queenmcsleaze]

@RebelOnAWarpath i hear ya fella

[suggerssludge]

i think this is fucking awesome. almost as good as the original..almost!

[letthechaosreign]

fleshgod are awesome, but this is NOT, god this is terrible!!!

[xcosox]

@letthechaosreign im not trying to me an asshole, but why is this terrible?

i

[oblivionspawn07]

@xcosox @letthechaosreign I would like to know as well.

[tDeathwingr]

Omg

[TheSantrax666]

It's so intense!

[Urtleteudede]

I think it would be the end of the universe if the drummer went slow.

[Entresolsticios]

Brrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuuutal, The best cover of BBF \m/

[AP93Playa]

meh the intro would be better without the blasting. kinda ruins it actually and thats one thing i dont like about FA, they just overuse it in some songs.

[ChainsawGutsFuck]

Every Fleshgod Apocalypse video has the same comment about an octopus drummer, it's a bit old now

[stekepego2]

I really love this song.

I like the drumming as well, but I don't think this blasting drumming suits very well to the melodic thing.

Just doesn't sound really authentic

[hatecrewsix2]

hate the snare sound, seems like a guy puching an oil barrel

[acidbath32]

the blasting is so sick

[hcsmith05]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahaha

[bignick2139]

the snare is so fake, doesnt sound a bit real

[thrashmetalfan96]

I love ATG, I love melodeath, my favorite kind of metal, I also love techdeath and FGA, both versions have pros and cons, I love the drumming in this better than the original, but everything else better in ATG's version, both great songs, hail both bands!

[panz3rr]

why the hating? this band is just paying tribute to one of their influences...come on guys youve gotta admit they made the song their own and i think its awesome that they did not change the solo. solid musicianship! This cover is not made for fans of at the gates, more of fleshgod apocalypse fans that also dig at the gates.

[LemagraS]

Don't get why people are slating this, it's nice they made it more to their own. I have literally just seen At The Gates, and yes, they are kings of melodeath, but this is still good

[TomLocura]

eh, this has got nothing on the original

[matteustyoviikko]

FUCKING BRUTAL I JUST HAD A GOREGASM!!!!

[Ringsmaster7]

the drums in this are horrible. too much beating. and the vocals sound like whitechapel fags. At the Gates pwns this shit..

[rockbandftmfw9]

@Ringsmaster7 Lol Whitechapel fags, sounds nothing like Whitechapel. At The Gates is good but dont give them too much credit my man.

[stekepego2]

@rockbandftmfw9 TOO much credit?

At first the whole song's credit is ATG, and many bands wouldn't be as good as they are now, without the influence of ATG.

I think you underestimate them by far

[rockbandftmfw9]

@stekepego2 I didnt mean for this song, its obviously them. I mean you totally overrated the band this song is pretty good. I am not a hardcore fan of them. I think the speed of the drums really intensify the song.

[stekepego2]

@rockbandftmfw9 Only the first part of my sentence was about the song.

I definitely don't overrate them. I just give them the credit they really deserve!

I mean, you see their influence on other bands even only by the fact, that this song is covered that often, even by bands, that usually don't even play the same genre.

That alone shows which affect ATG had and has.

But though your comment confuses me a bit.

Of which band aren't you a hardcore fan off?

[rockbandftmfw9]

@stekepego2 At the Gates, and Fleshgod Apocalypse. Sorry to not specifiy them in my last comment.

[parsek1111]

its good, but not as good as the original

[Anxiouscreeper]

Honestly, this is a pretty poor cover. I love this band. I also love At the Gates. I feel like they focused too much on trying to make it technically better than the original, while losing the soul of the original.

[labounti]

@Anxiouscreeper Thats the vibe I get too. The drumming is a bit above insane. But it sounds over done. I like this band, Discovered them This past Saturday at the Summer of Slaughter and there live show is amazing but this cover not so much.

[MrDouchebagforlife]

Wait till you hear our cover of it. it smokes this. this is way over done!

[FraitecShow]

Complimenti, ottima cover!

[FLXBUZZZ]

naahhh

way better than the original

[ScorpionCore]

@AsylumSicness95 saw them yesterday on summer slaughter in LA - holy shit they are amazing, the singer looks like a beast and the bassist is like headbanging insanely fast!!!

[MrRThomasen]

@AsylumSicness95 He doesn't he is a human drumming machine.

[ToastySurprise94]

you have to get a version with the original vocals, but have the drumming from this version....THAT WOULD BE JIZZTASTIC

[reapsoul964]

I prefer the drums in this version, but the vocals are so much better in the original.

[Vossajex]

I like that they put the drummer on the front cover

[matteustyoviikko]

@Vossajex lol yeah

[TheNephilimXCIV]

@Vossajex ahahhahahahaha right man :D

[ClosetYeti]

@Vossajex Best comment I've ever read.

[MrLuciferion]

@Vossajex lmao...

[6Blu6Storm6]

BLAST BEATS!!!

[morganix007]

They just need Tomas Lindberg and a more precise drummer

[morganix007]

@queenmcsleaze I'm not comparing The Drummer from this band to Adrian. I'm just saying that the drummer from this band like needed to be like more precise. U could hear like some parts are like...

[slanderoushalo]

@morganix007 a less blast-happy drummer would be nice.

[Stormland]

This in itself, destroys mankind as we speak. \m/ *constant headbang* \m/

[KnoffMan]

drums circles around adrian. 

[bonesta666]

They killed this one

[CrucifiedForNoSIn]

I prefer the original, but this is a damn good cover.

[Kakunkeittaja]

of course its better, fleshgod could play mary had a little lamb and make it so awesome that youd had to dive into a pool filled with ice so that u wouldnt spontaneously combust. + original is from the 90

[MarkuzLee]

This is better than the original in every aspect. Except the nostalgia aspect. Well, and the rhythm guitar is a bit more distinctive in the original version.

[MarkuzLee]

ATG fanboys detected.

[atthegates2112]

this sucks

[TetoXXX69]

The only thing I like about this version more than the original are the drums.

It would be better if they didn't make it so equal to the original.

[deadnightshinobi]

In a lot of cases people will probably favor the version they heard first...since that will have more impact. But regardless of which you prefer...I have to say this cover is awesome! =P

[Sinister7fear]

way better i think

[videogamerselite270]

Haha this proves Fleshgod has melodic death metal infleunces. xD

[1Metalforlife]

its a picture of the drummer on the front

[brendanollie]

i fucking love them goddamn blast beats

[ThePowerBolf]

Kinda annoying drums. But it's brutal - enough to be a good song

[StizaCrack]

@ThePowerBolf Brutal..... enough.....? Fleshgod invented ear fucking. This isnt The homos wear prada bud. I think you might have gotten lost on youtube.

[pro123321wtf1337]

really good cover but it isn´t as good as the original... At the Gates ftw \m/

[beaverfeaver12]

meh its ok it sounds like a sped up version of the original with the exception of brutal vocals

[MultiMetalWar]

...............mind blown.......

[KingKefka]

@MultiMetalWar and i really hope they play this cover on the summer slaughter..that would be the fucking shit

[guitar77809]

@KingKefka Dude i hear you, summer slaughter this year is gunna FUCKING RULE

[iLmerlOchEfAmE]

The cover is a photo from the drummer's ID

[SatansRapists]

Not better than the original, but sure as hell has alot more balls.

[ZronZ]

drums overpower the guitar a bit wayyyyy too much in the intro

[1ManArmyOfDisease]

the original is much better in terms of drums and vocals. the drums were wicked though.

[furysdrummer]

great fucking cover I normally hate dual vocals but this is sick

[pathofpain69]

Nice of them to put a picture of their drummer on the cover. holy fucking octopus shit!

[strappingyounglad914]

gotta say it's pretty badass

[hoganweaponx]

Blast beats at the beginning sound wayyy better.. just sayin.

[Meetero]

Sick cover.

They did it right, took the song and made it sound like their own.

[richnaerz]

Great cover although it'll never top the original. Still fucking brilliant though!

[666x666Slipknotx]

At first when i listened to the cover im like this doesn't sound right since it way faster than the original but after listening to this a bunch of times everyday im use to it now and when i listen to the original it sounds weird too me now lol

[BOHverdose]

Not better, but DAMN GOOD!

[Gunaklou666]

If one day i am able to drum that....i'll shit my pants!

[Masterdate]

@Gunaklou666 While drumming.

[ethanissoamazing]

no competition this is better, better vocals, faster and better drums, sure the original is good but lets admit it guys, these guys nailed it

[furysdrummer]

@ethanissoamazing STFU clown you have no idea what your saying take a nap

[ethanissoamazing]

@ethanissoamazing its all opinion fag, its not like I'm out to shit on the original, This covers just really good and many agree with me

[Anxiouscreeper]

@ethanissoamazing Vocals suck imo, and faster isn't better. At the Gates has a sound all their own. I love FGA, but they can't do melo death like ATG.

[pretzal7]

needs to be faster XD

[OldCryptopsy]

better then the original in my opinion

[shwedishh]

the original will always be the...original...but this is one hell of a cover. props to fleshgod

[S2legendS2]

Awesome Cover....

But no band will ever do it like At The Gates. True gods among men.

[pawnshopr]

@S2legendS2 but we can always try!!!

[MrMudbone1000]

I've also thought "Blinded By Fear" is a great song, but that the vocals ruin it. They just solved the problem

[MrMudbone1000]

@MrMudbone1000 Lol, *always

[lurvtuzz]

stop butchering swedish metal ffs.

this is bullshit.



[yulapunkngrunge]

Ha, the only song I like from SotS covered =D. If the original song had THIS drumming (more buried in the song) and this ending, it would have been 10000 times better. My only critic to this work is that I would have liked them to add a bit more of their own touch in the guitars, that sounded almost the same than the original (catchy, but simplistic). Not because I'd like it to be more br00tal (fuck that) but because I was expecting something more technical from Fleshgod. I still liked it tho

[orangepillow12]

this ones drums are a bit much still pretty cool

[PhoenixOrichimaru]

at the gates on crack ? :) lol I love at the gates so this is an awesome cover

[metlheaddrummr]

i think its really cool to hear a brutal cover of this song, which i think is done very well . i personally like the original. you may like this one. which version is better? opinion, leave it alone.

[applejelo]

i like this alot better than the oeiginal, they ramped up the speed like crazy, fleshgod is amazing.

[DarkSupremacyxXx]

HELL YEAH!!! AWESOME COVER!!! AND MORE BRUTAL!!!

[Psaren7]

naahhh

no way better than the original

[argovarius]

@Psaren7 what the hell?

This is shit to At The Gates.

They rule and will rule forever; and this is just the last pseudo-technical band that thinks to be the best.

[tDeathwingr]

@argovarius They aren't that bad actually, I like the style.

[argovarius]

@tDeathwingr well, I have nothing bad with them; the problem is the fact that ALL this genre is just ATG music, and nothing more... They're parasites of ATG.

[tDeathwingr]

@argovarius Actually I always hear about at the gates, but I have never gotten to check it, sounds idiotic isn't it?

[argovarius]

@tDeathwingr you should listen to the Slaughter Of The Soul, it is about the best metal album after-1990... And then check the others, such as Terminal Spirit Disease and With Fear I Kiss the Burning Darkness.

I don't listen at melodic death metal or death metal, I listen to At The Gates and a few other bands.

[tDeathwingr]

@argovarius I'll do that, in exchange you check out Cradle of Filth.(You know just for spreading the love xd)

[argovarius]

@tDeathwingr Okay, though I didn't like them when I listened. And could you become a fan of my facebook Metal page? Here it is: goo .gl/ adF4S (delete spaces)

[xfubar]

@argovarius Fleshgod apocalypse sounds nothing like ATG

[tDeathwingr]

@tDeathwingr Wait, i just checked and realized I know it..., fail.

[Karkelo7]

nice^^, but no band can reach the brilliancy of at the gates!

[ReganRage27]

All I can say is..... holy. shit.

[066809920An]

stll...better than the original....

[popemobile15]

better than the original

[PsychoticFrog]

Nice cover. Better than the original.

[MutantClannfear]

Better than the original. :D
