Fleshgod Apocalypse is finally ready to give the world their brand new record, and it sure sounds like it'll be worth the wait. The band will release Veleno on May 24, which was mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, The Black Dahlia Murder), and you can check out the crushing new track "Sugar" right now.
Here's what frontman, drummer and guitarist Francesco Paoli had to say.
“Today is the day. A first taste of our new album, Veleno, is finally available for you all. No words can describe how excited we are and how long we waited for this moment. What you see is the harvest of three years of sweat, revolutions, intense emotions and extreme challenges. We proved ourselves to be stronger than ever, despising compromises, setting the bar higher no matter what. The album is massive to say the least. Every song is a unique piece, literally alive and breathing. Can’t wait for you guys to hear the rest…”
This is the band's first effort with Paoli back on lead vocals since 2009's Oracles. This change stems from the departures of both guitarists and vocalists Tommaso Riccardi and Cristiano Trionfera in 2017.
