Fleshgod Apocalypse Announce Four 2026 Headline Dates

This follows the announcement that the band will be joining Avatar on their “Don’t Go in the Forest 2026” Tour with Frozen Soul.

That’s why we have added four exclusive headlining shows alongside the massive spring trek supporting Avatar this April and May.

About Fleshgod Apocalypse :
Italian Symphonic Death Metal maestros Fleshgod Apocalypse are finally back with their brand new, sixth album titled Opera, a gut-wrenching musical journey inspired by the tragic mountain climbing accident occurred to their frontman and mastermind Francesco Paoli, in 2021.
Opera Track Listing:
1. Ode to Art (De’ Sepolcri)
2. I Can Never Die
3. Pendulum
4. Bloodclock
5. At War With My Soul
6. Morphine Waltz
7. Matricide 8.21
8. Per Aspera Ad Astra
9. Till Death Do Us Part
10. Opera
Released via Nuclear Blast Records in 2024, the whole album is structured like a 10-act theatrical piece, as the title itself, “Opera,” draws a clear thread with the everlasting tradition of Italian classical music theater combining it with the epic brutality of death and symphonic metal, which has become their trademark sound.
Mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Epica, Arch Enemy), Opera definitely marks another step forward for the band, incorporating new suggestions into that unique blend that Fleshgod Apocalypse are renowned for: sheer violence, majestic orchestrations, and soaring melodies. Such an ambitious musical endeavor called for an equally impressive artwork, a team effort between two arising Italian talents (artist extraordinaire Felicita Fiorini and visionary photographer Francesco Esposito), following the path traced by baroque painters like Caravaggio and Artemisia Gentileschi. The cover art portrays Veronica as Music, a superior entity that defeats the social and artistic decay of modern age.
With this new record, Fleshgod Apocalypse are setting the bar even higher than before, pioneering what looks like a completely new sub-genre that might be called “opera metal”: an unprecedented mix of extreme music and theatrical elements.
