Fallujah - Sapphire

     To anyone who thought yesterday's Dirty Loops song had no business being featured on a blog that purports to be about metal: today's song is for you.

     Bay Area death metal quintet Fallujah have become darlings of the metal world on the back of their 2013 EP Nomadic, leading to the inevitable anticipation and hype in advance of their forthcoming full-length The Flesh Prevails, due out in July. But at least for once hype is being spread about where hype is due.

     Fallujah hit a sweet spot of heavy, proggy, techy, melodic, and just plain riffy, and nowhere is that more evident that on "Sapphire", our first taste of The Flesh Prevails. This is really starting to sound like an album that will spend a lot of time on a lot of playlists and mp3 player hard drives, and rightly so --  it's just that tasty.
