It's not often that music of any degree of decency makes New Zealand airwaves (or TV waves), so when shows like MTV's Headbangers Ball come on I leap into action and gawp at the screen for an hour as vaguely-respectable music goes in one ear and out the other. And on the odd occasion they play something interesting like Fleshgod Apocalypse.
What would otherwise be fairly cookie cutter, run-of-the-mill tech death is taken a step further with an intense layer of orchestration that takes the music into an all new realm of majestic epicness.
