Fleshgod Apocalypse Vereno [Limited Edition CD + Live Blu-ray] Japan Music CD

Product Description
Content Introduction Blacker than death, more majestic than God. The emperor of symphonic death metal unleashes a poisonous flower. Their fifth studio album, their first in three years, is complete. Formed in Perugia, Italy in 2007, Fleshgod Apocalypse has achieved victory on the European metal scene with their extreme death metal and heavy orchestral sound. With albums such as "Oracles" (2009) about "oracles," "Agony" (2011) about "agony," "Labyrinth" (2013) about "labyrinths," and "King" (2016) about "kings," they have tackled different themes, growing more extreme and symphonic with each album. Their fifth album depicts the world of "Veleno = poison." With Francesco Paoli, one of the band's founders, now fully in the lead role as lead vocalist and lead guitarist, this album further crystallizes his creative impulses. Its "spontaneous" and "experimental" approach reveals an organic aggression. The opening track, "Fury," as its title suggests, overwhelms the listener with a furious metal assault and a torrent of orchestral sounds. "Carnivorous Lamb" and "Worship and Forget" are extreme numbers that reduce everything to scorched earth, while "Mona Lisa" cinematically depicts emotional fluctuations, the heroic epic "Embrace the Oblivion," and "The Day We'll Be Gone," featuring female operatic vocals, achieve a tremendous swell through their chemical fusion. The synergistic effect of the metal and orchestral parts creates a sonic monolith where each part enhances the other. "The improvement in songwriting ability on this album is evident," Francesco proudly proclaims. This monumental work marks the encounter between Italy's rich traditional culture and the brutal heavy metal culture. The bonus track is a cover of Rammstein's "Reise Reise," a symphonic reimagining of the song by a leading German modern metal band representing contemporary Europe.
