[HammersmashedTaco]

at first i thought i was trolled, then i repainted my house with jizz.

[emmakatieluke]

The drummer's on the album cover

[dontworryiwin]

one of the greatest covers ever!

[Bobio1138]

Need 480p of Fleshgod Apocalypse!

[TheBrayness]

@Bobio1138 it's just that album cover, though.....

[Bobio1138]

@TheBrayness It also applies to sound.

[TheBrayness]

@Bobio1138 480 pixels of sound?

[Bobio1138]

@TheBrayness Theres a difference. It just sound cleaner and deep to me. Im an audiophile so I like quality.

[Blacksmith676]

@Bobio1138 If you are an Audiophile then why are you even listening to the Youtube Video fo it. Biggest Question, why am I listening to this on Youtube, I actually own the CD

[Bobio1138]

@Blacksmith676 I dont own the CD. I was just responding to you.

[WigglyBIGbush]

[NoCutCard612]

I like. ^_^

[666VitalRemains666]

SICK

[HomicidaMortis]

One of the best covers of this song, like, ever. I didn't think anyone would play it better than At The Gates, but this is definitely up there with them.

[Bakri13]

Drums. 

[bizarredude101]

Ewww blast beats with this song does not work. But is that octopus playing the drums?

[Corrosive1]

@bizarredude101 yes, it's that octopus

[ChuckSchuldinerRIP0]

@bizarredude101 Kraken does what Kraken whats.

[cwheinrichs89]

It sounds like what Dethklok is trying to be.

[Corpzmaker91]

Won't ever be as good as the real thing, but seriously this does not sound great to me.... 

[deadandbloated12345]

this reminds me of "aborted". anyone else hear it?

[NailBombed]

Blasty goodness. Good interpretation of a classic melodic DM song. Not a huge fan of the vocs.... like my Blinded By Fear screamoverload instead of deathvomit/guttural.

[th1nkman]

I love the way they took an already great song and made it their own. This is how every cover ever should be.

[TheSantrax666]

Sooooo heavy!

[MetalReigns2]

They shouldnt have added the blast beat, I prefer the original version waaay better. Still good though.

[TESTATORSERBIA]

To much blast...

[Ohmann2]

Aprox. 260 bpm... "slow" fleshgod song ^^

[IAmTheWarbringer]

Shit, this cover gives me chills every time I hear it. Fucking awesome \m/

[Discreetarcher3]

holy fucking shit! thats fucking amazing

[Racin3]

fucking great cover. should check out the carcass cover they did too, of heartwork. fuckin amazing, they really know how to do covers and do them justice

[yousername]

[kavendg1]

[potterdavid95]

[ThisAccountIsFknHxC]

Wow this fuckin band is heavy as fuck.

I love this shit, how come I never heard of them until yesterday?

[SCREAMINGGHOUL9000]

[Aldwyndor]

[JaccoffolotTheLonely]

Boobies!!!!!!!!!!!!Penis!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

[pettemans3]

@JaccoffolotTheLonely how old are u 8?

[Whisperlands]

Esto es la polla total

[Sinister7fear]

@iorost dont be mad cuz he has a man voice and at the gates sounds like a chetah.

[AlteredVisionz]

@iorost haha fleshgod apocalypse, deathcore? this couldnt be further from deathcore than country. listen to a lot of brutal death metal artists and you will see they have a common style. deathcore is usually squeals and gay shit like that. i kno that you dont like them and thats your opinion but i think that it fits the genre and playing style very well. have you heard their other stuff that isnt covers? i seriously dont understand how you couldnt love it...if you are a DM fan

[LichKingSkullWart]

@iorost That makes no sense - unless you mean that he should be using those faggot hardcore vocals.

[IWinkedAtMyDad]

This is the sickest thing i've ever heard in my entire life. Never before has my jaw hung open for an entire song

[DrownTonight]

if that drum beat doesnt empty everything out of your nutsack then you have mental issues

[bferg333]

my new fav band

[TheRagingBerserker]

13K views and zero dislikes

[Arglactable]

So, they down tuned their guitars some more and added shit tech death drums. Fuck that.

[angzane]

@Arglactable hey do me a favor, try to drum like that and not get a heart attack.

[1areyouretarded1]

@Arglactable

I am going to teach you a word.

ox·y·mo·ron (ks-môrn, -mr-)

n. pl. ox·y·mo·ra (-môr, -mr) or ox·y·mo·rons

A rhetorical figure in which incongruous or contradictory terms are combined, as in a deafening silence and a mournful optimist.

Shit tech drums is a perfect example of an oxymoron.

Adrian Erlandson wishes he could have written and played these drums.

[Arglactable]

@1areyouretarded1 That's not an oxymoron, that's just redundant.

[KillJoy353]

@Arglactable shit drums? Yea, you try to play this.

[Arglactable]

@KillJoy353 Of course, because there is obviously a direct correlation between my ability to play this and its quality. I can play really technical series of arpeggios on a keyboard, but does the fact that someone else can't somehow give it musical value? No. Nor is it worth a shit simply because it is "technical."

[KillJoy353]

@Arglactable Yes, it's not worth anything. You are an incredibly smart individual, I must say.

[SitriSytry]

@KillJoy353 This band isn't technical at all, especially the drums hes just going through really easy stuff but playing it at like 3000 bpm lol which is easy enough if you practice for it but i myself prefer drumming from necrophagist and nile they have 2 really great drummers in there

[KillJoy353]

@SitriSytry I agree with that man. necropahgist has always had sick drummers. Gene Hoglan is sick too.

[zajac1661]

@SitriSytry lol.if you play yourself as i do, you know after years of playing and learning that getting tight and having control is just as big a part of technique, especially in metal. this is a cover, not a sample of their own compositions right? so why can you trough this song state that they arent technical? and why would you find it more technical to break down rhytms, like its a more skillfull achievement to compose onto? its progressive and artistic to write in that form, but harder no?

[SitriSytry]

@zajac1661 Having control is quite easy, people just make it hard because they dont practice things slowly, if you practice something slowly you'll pick up the technique really quickly and this works for everything not just music, and this band is technical i probably shouldnt have said they weren't, its just in this song they arn't. Also its harder to make the masterpiece than alter it.

[zajac1661]

@SitriSytry i dont think you need to learn me basic music theory. I often see people who never got tight, and that counts established bands as well, even after years of practice. And stepping up things slowly by a metronome as an example is a good way, but in the end its muscle control and development. takes time, but when you nail it, you nail it.

[SitriSytry]

@zajac1661 Thats what i just said pretty much, also your first sentence doesn't make sense, the difference between good musicians and the not so good imo is patience as i said before working slowly first and brushing up on your technique at slow paces will get you to very accurate playing at fast tempos.

[MoshersRage]

@Arglactable they're already in drop B...they didn't have to tune down at all...and i'd love to see anyone else put a death metal touch on a song that's 240 bpm...they're not really that technical either...they're just fast as fuck

[Arglactable]

@MoshersRage Well, by that standard, all you have to do to add a death metal touch to any piece of music is to add a bunch of gratuitous blast beats that add nothing of actual merit to the song. Classy.

[MoshersRage]

@Arglactable call it what you want and bitch all you can...this band did a killer cover of this song and somewhere, i know Tompa would be proud

[ShadowMSP123]

At The Gates did it better

[zangief87]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

[JEKAZOL]

This is refreshingly good and meaty

[tommasox27]

good metaaaaaaaal

[DeathCoreMetalCoreX]

[MegaAmbroz1]

I remember the first gig in Macedonia, because i broke my arm in moshpti :) Sorry for my bad english xD

[stom72]

Am proud to be swedish on a day like this. But Italians should be proud too since they got FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE!!

[YugoRocketsFan]

Technical version of At the Gates, sounds sick actually.

[Unhallowed33]

Ho my god. As a major fan of at the gates, I fucking love this cover.

Can't stop relistening

[xTHEGOREWIZARDx]

i love metal... i just pooed

[liquidRED]

[grfx1336]

[DannielHateful]

We are blind to the

Worlds within us,

Waiting to be born

[yatrogeny]

just the voice and thr drums fastest

[Anim3nimA]

oh jeez.....i feel lyk a million buck *-*

[streearahi]

PS THIS BAND FUCKIN SHREDS!!!

[streearahi]

why would anyone argue over whether At The Gates is more legendary than Flashgod, of course they are. At the Gates isn't doing a Fleshgod cover are they???? No, well then I guess everyone should quit acting like fucking twits, and realize that 1. At the Gates is an older band, and had a shit ton of influence on the EXACT GENRE that Fleshgod is in and 2. What do you think Fleshgod would say. obviously they would say At the Gates is way more legendary, even so legend that THIS BAND WLD COVER IT

[watthefrack02]

They put a picture of their drummer on the cover. cool :p

[BlackMetalerWolf]

@watthefrack02 lol I love that joke XD awesome drummer indeed

[behexendoom]

@watthefrack02 hellyeah!

[0007123451]

Not one bad song on the album thanks for posting.

[A00000J0000]

I LOVE How They Twisted The Intro To Sound Eerie As Hell. When I Ist Heard It, I Got Chills, Bro. & Yeah, I Couldn't've Imagined A Better Band Covering "Blinded By Fear". Genius. I Applaud You, metaliconoclast, For Uploading The "Mafia" EP Too. Great Shit.

[Spleenfome]

this is good, infact its too good

[thecarnageking666]

Awesome ATG cover!

[cesarb1986]

Amazing cover!

[RebornInFlames7892]

Good lord, this is by far the best Blinded By Fear cover I've ever heard. It's almost as good as the original!!

[overlord3069]

@RebornInFlames7892 Almost as good!?!?! Whaaaaat? ATG should be bowing down to fleshgod for blessing their presence upon one of their tracks

[watthefrack02]

@overlord3069 well ATG did write it...

[Nocturnalseve]

@overlord3069 You've got it backwards my friend, at the gates are the gods, they shouldnt have to bow to anyone. Fast or not these guys still arent in the realm of legend status, sorry.

[overlord3069]

@Nocturnalseve Heh! please humor me your presumed aspect that ATG surpasses fleshgod in.. you must have a strange tool of measure. Pfft, If you are being a fan boy simply because you enjoy their music more, your argument is automatically void and meaningless. And speed aside,(as if thats the only reason why people enjoy fleshgod), a crappy thrash band has about as much chance successfully covering a fleshgod song as me sending my dick through a loophole in space and railing a goat from 990 BC.

[Nocturnalseve]

@overlord3069 regardless of either of our opinions even if we think lil wayne is the best, at the gates is still legendary status and fleshgod isnt there...yet. Thats just the way it is. Think of it like this: People were jamming out to teen spirit while at the gates were composing some of MUSIC'S most memorable melodies. I'm done.

[overlord3069]

@Nocturnalseve So you think your word is the "way of the world"? Who are you to decide of what is and isnt legendary?thats your opinion, and it is no better or worse than mine. just because you enjoy it does not make it legendary. Its legendary in your eyes, but im sure there are plenty who think differently. Thats the beauty of music, because everyone interprets sound differently, and everyone is subject to their own opinion. Thinking the way you are is just greedy and self-centered.

[metaliconoclast]

@overlord3069 Actually, it's pretty inarguable that At the Gates is more legendary status than Fleshgod Apocalypse, since they were essential to the Gothenburg scene and the development of a fucking genre.

[Nocturnalseve]

@overlord3069 like I said our differences dont matter to fate...you can love or hate michael jackson (yes as an example) but HE IS Legendary status...thats the point I was making.

[mikor7878]

fffuuuccckkk what going on inside brains of those guys ?

[GodTheMisanthrope]

Wow....didn't expect something this good. But holy shit

[trdbrglr]

It's not often that a cover is just as good as the original. This is.

[triumphator666]

fucking great cover, destroys everything!

[crpsegrnder]

@triumphator666 I dunno hour of penance's new cover paradogma is pretty fucking tight

[CyberdineSystems101]

O_O my god they are good!!!!

[jessejames6983]

they fucking smoked this cover. brutal 

[1349v]

ohhhh fuckkkkkk

[GevatterGierhals]

nice cover

[arrestedshrimp]

this is such a creative cover

[lpm381]

I thought the title sounded familiar then the opening riff kicked in and it all made sense hahahaha!

[berserkLP]

man love this band!! and at the gates are amazing somehow made it better :D

[thrasherdethwish]

very nice cover, made it a tad more brutal lol

[12344432steven]

Haha I love this. How they took melodic death metal and made it insanely Fleshgod like lol

[Vargkusin]

@12344432steven Melodic Death Metal? LoL, ATG has been around longer than most of todays Death Metal bands and what i know of, ATG is not melo death.

[splatterzec]

woooooowww!!!! RESPECT!!!!
