DEEDS OF FLESH
Trading Pieces

The most important deed the gentlemen of Deeds of Flesh have accomplished is putting together some of the most bizarre and engaging song arrangements known to mankind. They are extremely convoluted and entirely unpredictable. It is impossible to be certain what direction the band will take next. Yet, despite the overwhelmingly chaotic style of songwriting, or perhaps because of it, it never strays too far from the central core of each song. Each song retains an elastic quality to allow the free-from idea of composition, and yet, the songs remain wholly unified. Not just within each individual son, but the album as a whole as well. Each song combines to complete and animate the monstrous beast of death metal that will surely devour everything in its path.

Trading Pieces is a Deeds Of Flesh trademark opus but original amongst the discography.
A 30 minute masterstroke brutally heavy, lightning-fast with mind-bending labyrinthine riffs that twist and turn and never, ever repeat.
Although the complexity would skyrocket on later releases, Trading Pieces is definitely complex, technical, and maddening in many ways.
