Formulas Fatal to the Flesh is the sixth full-length studio album (excluding release of Abominations of Desolation) by death metal band Morbid Angel. The title of this album is a biblical reference: it contains the letter "F" - the 6th letter of the alphabet - capitalised three times, which refers to the Number of the Beast, 666. This is the first album to introduce singer/bassist Steve Tucker replacing David Vincent and having a good amount of lyrics written in Sumerian.

Style-wise, this is Morbid Angel at their most chaotic and fierce, harkening back to their older days (more reminiscent to Altars of Madness rather than the previous Domination). The tunings for this record as on Covenant and Domination remained Eb, but Trey Azagthoth used a 7 string guitar tuned to Bb as well which basically adds a 7th string, tuned to Bb while retaining 6 string tuned to Eb. Tuning on this record is Eb AND Bb.
