On compare vraiment les deux groupes là ? J'en connais un qui ne va plus se sentir pisser

"About a couple of months ago, our singer Tommaso left the band for personal reasons. Our separation wasn't painless, but everybody thought this was the best solution. Therefore, we sat down and tried to figure out all possible scenarios for a band that suddenly loses its frontman.

"The will to go on and continue this journey was stronger than everything else. Since the message of FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE goes beyond music itself, we couldn't let someone who wasn't there since the beginning be its spokesman. So the only way to go on was to take a look back at our roots: We decided that Francesco Paoli, our drummer, songwriter, founder and first frontman of the band, was the natural choice for this delicate and also challenging position. Our mastermind has finally taken back his originary role as lead vocalist and guitarist.

"From now on, besides our precious soprano singer Veronica Bordacchini, we'll have the honor to share the stage with the Italian metal legend David Folchitto on drums together with the phenomenal Fabio Bartoletti on lead guitar.

"FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE are more focused and determined than ever. Expect new epic live experiences and, most likely, the darkest and heaviest FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE album that we've ever written.

"We can't wait to start this new, exciting chapter of our career. Our friends in South America will be the first ones to witness the new course of the band, with Francesco as our frontman.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

We want to thank everyone for the insane support we've been receiving since yesterday, from all over the world.
You guys are the best, hands down!

Our new frontman and mastermind Francesco Paoli Official wants to share a few words with you:

"Yes, it's true. I'm back as frontman of my band Fleshgod Apocalypse. It's the right thing to do, no discussions. Like a proud and diligent father when his son is sick for any reason, I acted and fixed the problem. No complaints but facts. Honestly, I've never cared about my role in the band as long as I could lead it and make it grow healthy and strong, so nothing is really changing for me.
Playing an instrument is like speaking a language, a tool to express yourself. Whatever you use, what really matters is what you have to say and I'm fucking "exploding".
We've already played a couple of shows with this new lineup and it felt good, it's been like "oh yeah, I'm finally back to my place!". Good sign.
I'm confident that you will enjoy this change as much as I do but, if you're not, come and see us live.
As for my drumming career, it won't be affected by this revolution and things will just be the same. I'm still tracking drums on the next Fleshgod albums, recording as a session drummer and, according to my main band schedule, collaborating from now on as a live drummer for bands (I like). Same as for my producer and teacher duties.
The only thing I won't be able to do is performing drums live with F.A. but, with David behind the kit, we're all in good hands... and feet.
Everyday I'm a new man 'cause everyday I remain the same.

Last, I want to thank my wife, family, current and past band mates, managers, label and sponsors for the trust, help and contribution.

See you on the road, the place I belong."

Francesco Paoli

***WARNING: Graphic content!***

Many people keep asking us about the evolution of music industry nowadays. Well, here's our point:

Some bands proudly show off their achievements on Patreon or Indiegogo, to get the gain without the pain, or act like attention whores, thinking that a bunch of likes will make them real bands.
On our side, we think that breaking your ass on the road and prove yourself on stage is still the most respectable way to grow, especially in the eyes of your fans.
Two days ago in Bogotá our drummer David was feeling really sick and, honestly, we weren't sure whether to cancel or not.
But there was no way to dissuade him. The motherfucker wanted to play at all costs! So we went on stage and, despite the sickness, he played a terrific show until the last two songs. Then, all of a sudden, it became like a scene out of "The Exorcist" (just watch the video below). And even then... he DIDN'T STOP PLAYING!
That's what we call commitment, pure dedication. Also kudos to Krimh and our stage hand Giannis for helping David during those... disgusting moments!

Please, don't bullshit us with your stories about how difficult music industry is, how stressful tours are or how hard being a musician in your country is. Italy is one of the least 'generous' countries to musicians and artists. We did our first US tour driving a car ourselves for thirty gigs, holding the equipment on our legs, with no sleep and risking our own lives. As well as many other bands have always done.
Everything we have now comes from sweat and sacrifice, honesty and commitment, no whining or begging involved.

We want to thank our friends all over the world, our management, our label for the support and respect they've been showing us throughout our career.

F.A.
