Fleshgod Apocalypse reveal new album cover and details
One of Italy's most crushing bands, Fleshgod Apocalypse, revealed information about their upcoming album, entitled "Labyrinth". Marking their third full-length album after a very successful journey that started in 2007, "Labyrinth" is set for an August 13th, 2013 release in Europe, and should also be out in North America one week later via Nuclear Blast Records.
The album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Stefano
Morabito at 16th Cellar Studio, and from what the band has said so far, it
seems to will be one of 2013's most remarkable albums, offering all what could
possibly be desired by Fleshgod Apocalypse's genuine fans!
The album also witnessed a top-notch collaboration from
London-based graphic designer Colin Marks who has a long history with creating
outstanding cover arts, having worked with bands from the likes of The End,
Origin, Kataklysm, Woe of Tyrants, Sylosis, Scar Symmetry, Psycroptic,
Nevermore, Exodus, Aborted, and Cerebral Bore to name a few!
Drummer, Francesco Paoli commented:
“Labyrinth is going to be THE album for FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE.
It's the perfect combination of all our strong points with the best production
we've ever had. It's definitely the most FLESHGOD thing we've ever thought with
the most FLESHGOD riffs, lyrics, melodies, drum parts, solos, etc...We went
deep inside the core of this music, we broke it, and we finally unleashed these
eleven songs. I want to be honest, it needed so much work and time to come up
with this but now I'm like, ‘ok, next time will be tough to reach this point!’
Honesty and quality pay, always, and all of you guys supporting the band
DESERVE THE BEST. You might think that I’m overrating it just because it's our
‘child’ but, trust me, this album is fuckin' dangerous. Just take your time,
listen to it and get lost into the Labyrinth.”
Lead vocalist/guitarist, Tommaso Riccardi added:
"The concept of this album is based on the myth of the
Labyrinth of Knossos and every character related to it. We focused on the
philological aspect in order to represent all the elements of the classic world
and, through a manic and meticulous research, we managed to create a metaphor with our times, as the maze can be
associated with the endless search for what we really are. We're sure you will
be stunned by this as much as we are.”
Tracklist for the album goes as follows:
1. Kingborn
2. Minotaur (Wrath of Poseidon)
3. Elegy
4. Towards the Sun
5. Warpledge
6. Pathfinder
7. The Fall of Asterion
8. Prologue
9. Epilogue
10. Under Black Sails
11. Labyrinth
