Following this tour was a headlining tour of Russia.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The band released their second album, Agony, on August 9, 2011 in North America and August 19, 2011 in Europe.Fleshgod Apocalypse took part in the 2011 Summer Slaughter Tour in North America, alongside co-headliners Whitechapel and The Black Dahlia Murder.

Darker and Edgier: To both Melodic Death Metal and Symphonic Metal as a whole. Lighter and Softer: To other Italian Death Metal bands. They're still quite hard though. Agony was also this in comparison to the rest of their discography.

New Sound Album: Agony had a more symphonic/neo-classical sound than the previous albums, in addition to being far faster and a crazier, yet more melodic sound than the structured, yet heavier Oracles

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Fleshgod Apocalypse (Music) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early Installment Weirdness: Oracles had Paoli on vocals instead of drums, and there was less emphasis on the neo-classical, in addition to an absence of clean vocals. To be fair, he was still the vocalist for Hour of Penance at the time.

Dumb and Drummer
 Fleshgod Apocalypse (Music) / int_5697c648
comment
Dumb and Drummer: Averted. Francesco Paoli was originally the band's lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist before switching to drums in 2009 and still contributed guitar and vocals in the studio, co-wrote at least one album (King, with pianist Francesco Ferrini) and spoke at length about the writing and recording processes in the studio diary for King. After Tommaso Riccardi's departure, Paoli then went back to vocals and rhythm guitar, with David Folchitto becoming their new drummer.

Loudness War
 Fleshgod Apocalypse (Music) / int_a6254a7a
comment
Loudness War: A problem with all their releases, but it really became apparent with Agony and Labyrinth, both of which had incredibly unbalanced productions that pushed the synths and drums way up front while burying the guitars and bass to near-inaudibility and topping it all off with horrendous brickwalling and depressingly frequent clipping. Thankfully and finally averted as of King and especially Veleno, which feature much clearer mixes.

 Fleshgod Apocalypse (Music) / int_dca6a9d
comment
Start My Own: Francisco Paoli actually intended for this band to be a side-project, but was forced to leave Hour of Penance at that time due to time constraints. His departure was accelerated by the Mauro debacle, however. Bloodtruth was started as another side project by Paoli and Rossi (among others) in 2009; while they no longer have any direct involvement with that band, they are good friends with Stefano Ciucci (the other founding member) and the rest of the current lineup.
