Italian grandmasters of orchestral death metal FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE are finding spontaneity rewarding on new album, VELENO (release date May 24th). Over the past four albums – previous album, King (2016), floored fans and critics alike – the Francesco Paoli-led trio have planned every step, discussed every note, and ensured every salutation to Paganini, Bach, and Mozart was met with an equally brutal death metal equivalent. On Veleno, which is Italian for ‘venom,’ they needed a change of approach (and pace). To achieve this, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE distanced themselves from distraction – line-up changes, tours, and the frustrations of day-to-day life – unboxed the songwriting process, and let the inspiration flow freely. As a result, the group have matured, blended more efficiently their musical vision, and walked away with 11 songs that sound like a new band with an unsatiable prey drive on Veleno.
We recently had the pleasure of chatting with Francesco Paoli (vocals/guitar) and he updated us on all things Veleno, recent line-up changes, his personal inspirations and the band’s touring plans for the coming year.
