FALLUJAH Masters The Art Of Levitation - New Track Streaming At A.V. Club; Summer Slaughter Takeover Looms + Canadian Tour Dates Announced

With the release of The Flesh Prevails, the forthcoming magnum opus from atmospheric death metal henchmen, FALLUJAH, now almost two weeks away, The Onion's A.V. Club offers up fifth number, "Levitation," for public consumption.

Mixed, mastered and engineered by sound savior Zack Ohren (Suffocation, All Shall Perish) at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, California, The Flesh Prevails boasts guest appearances from guitarist Christian Muenzner (Obscura, Necrophagist), the chilling voice of Roniit Alkayam present throughout the album, and serves as the band's most intricately arranged, methodically executed and plainly cathartic manifestation to date. A true master work of progressively tinged, otherworldly death metal.

Comments vocalist Alex Hoffmann of the track, "'Levitation' is a track made with the purpose of channeling the most dark and ethereal energies that the album has to offer, swaying away from speed and aggression and into more otherworldly and melancholic themes. This is my personal favorite track on the album and one that we can't wait to play live."

Adds A.V. Club, "The San Francisco death metal outfit's new album, The Flesh Prevails, broadens and deepens the band's scope, incorporating spacious passages of atmosphere into chilling, brainy riffage. 'Levitation' shrouds itself in ambience and melody even as it refuses to flinch in the face of man's inhumanity to man."

Rise up with "Levitation," now playing at THIS LOCATION.

And if you missed it, you can still sample "Carved From Stone" still streaming at Lambgoat, atTHIS LOCATION as well as "Sapphire," courtesy of MetalSucks, at THIS LOCATION.

Formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2007, FALLUJAH has since displayed a rugged work ethic, investing countless weeks on the road in North America and internationally. The band's commitment to crafting forward thinking music has helped them build their own diehard fanbase from the ground up. The name is derived from a city in the Al Anbar province of Iraq that, at the time of the band's formation, sustained the highest concentration of destruction and casualties on both sides of the fighting. The members of FALLUJAH have lived much of their lives in the post 9/11 world growing up with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as observing the tension between East and West and religious turmoil. The city of Fallujah represents the pinnacle of tensions, hostility and destruction that has come to define the world we live in.

The Flesh Prevails preorder packages are currently available at THIS LOCATION.

"Their space is the backdrop for a parade of awesome celestial events. Harmonized death metal riffing and fleet leads twirl around each other like planets in orbital ballet. Dexterous blasting sends comets hurtling all over the place. Stars collapse and explode within the universe of synthetics that swaddle each song. It's a huge sonic palette that FALLUJAH uses, all harnessed perfectly by tech-death mixmaster Zack Ohren." - Decibel

"These musicians are of an unreal caliber; every single riff is constructed with the care and precision of an artistic mastermind. It is a masterwork not unlike the greats of the Renaissance; the Sistine Chapel of progressive death metal." - The Monolith

"A true game-changer, the way that FALLUJAH has toyed with the death metal mechanic to combine it with unbridled emption and depth is nothing short of breath taking." - Dead Rhetoric
