Italian symphonic extreme metallers FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE are back with a brand new single called “Pendulum”.
Death… our inevitable doom that will catch up with us sooner or later. Many who are fortunate enough to temporarily escape its deadly clutches experience life-altering changes, finding new purpose, a rejuvenated creative spirit, and a reawakening of the soul. That’s what happened to FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE frontman Francesco Paoli, who was involved in a tragic mountaineering accident in 2021 that kept him alive after years of recovery and ultimately inspired the band to make their first music in years.
Today marks the monumental return of Paoli and Italian symphonic metal giants FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, as the band releases their first new music since the devastating accident. Inspired by the horrific event, new single “Pendulum” resonates with intense ferocity and baroque, classical phrases that brim with excruciating pain.
The new single is accompanied by a breathtaking music video directed by Martina L. McLean (GHOST, OCEANA):
Paoli about the video:
“The music video, realized by visionary Italian director Martina L. McLean, turned my unfortunate incident into a monumental visual experience, an awe inspiring blend of obscure symbolism, surreal architectures and nightmarish mythological creatures. It perfectly portraits the struggle and the desperation of that day, a day of defeat… but also the day of my rebirth.”
Paoli continues:
“This is the first song we release since my ‘dance’ with death, back in August 2021. It’s obvious that such a life changing event would have affected our music. It took a toll on me, physically and mentally, and sharing my experience is also part of my healing process. Pendulum is just the opening chapter of a bigger story, which is yet to be told…”
Mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Arch Enemy), “Pendulum” contains all of the core elements that FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE are known for: pure violence, majestic orchestrations and sublime operatic melodies. The stunning artwork was designed by Italian artist Ludovico Cioffi.
