Oracles (album)

Oracles is the debut studio album by Italian symphonic death metal band Fleshgod Apocalypse. It is the first album to feature Francesco Paoli on lead vocals. Paoli would return as lead vocalist on the fifth studio album Veleno after being the drummer for three studio albums and an EP.^[3] It is also the only Fleshgod Apocalypse album to feature Mauro Mercurio on drums. Oracles is known for its more technical death metal style, rather than the symphonic death metal style the band would adopt on later albums.^[4]
