In May 2008, the band recorded its first full-length album,
Oracles. In December of that year the band decided to part ways with Neurotic Records and signed with
Willowtip Records, who released
Oracles in 2009.
Shortly after the release of Oracles in 2009, the band had a lineup change, with a new member, Tommasso Ricardi taking over vocals and rhythm guitar, which were previously handled by Francesco Paoli, as Paoli took over the drums at this time.
In 2010, Fleshgod Apocalypse released a new EP entitled
Mafia. It includes four new tracks and a cover of the track "Blinded by Fear" by
At the Gates.
Until 2010, current Fleshgod Apocalypse drummer Francesco Paoli was simultaneously in his former band
Hour of Penance doing vocals, as well as drumming in Fleshgod Apocalypse. Also in 2010, another new member, Francesco Ferrini, was added to the band to play keyboards. Ferrini had previously played session keyboards on
Oracles and
Mafia.
In May 2011, the band signed a worldwide deal with German record label
Nuclear Blast Records.
