FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE Unveils 'Opera' and New Single
FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE is making a grand return with their sixth studio album titled "Opera," set for release on August 23rd through Nuclear Blast Records. This album emerges from the shadows of a devastating mountain climbing accident involving the band's frontman, Francesco Paoli, in 2021. The album unfolds over ten acts, blending the grandeur of Italian classical music theater with the band's signature symphonic and death metal elements.
Mixed and mastered by the Grammy-nominated Jacob Hansen, "Opera" promises a fusion of violent and majestic orchestrations paired with soaring melodies. This artistic ambition is matched by its visual presentation, crafted by Italian artists Felicita Fiorini and Francesco Esposito, which draws inspiration from baroque masters like Caravaggio.
With "Opera," FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE pioneers a new sub-genre they term "Opera Metal," showcasing an unprecedented mix of extreme music and theatrical elements. This new venture not only seeks to set a higher standard in the genre but also marks a significant point in the band's career, introducing new musical and thematic complexities.
