Department of Apocalyptic Affairs is the second album by the Norwegian avant-garde metal band Fleurety. Style The album shows Fleurety moving away from black metal to get into a more avant-garde and experimental sound, adding trip hop, electronic, jazz, death metal, Circus music, industrial, art rock and contemporary classical elements. William York of AllMusic likened the album's sound to that of Mr. Bungle, Portishead and fellow Norwegian acts Ulver and Arcturus. Fleurety used many guest musicians from the Norwegian music scene, including members (or former members) from Mayhem, Ulver, Head Control System, Borknagar, Arcturus, Winds, Tritonus, Beyond Dawn, Virus, Ved Buens Ende, Aura Noir and Dødheimsgard.
