The partnership between Epica and Fleshgod Apocalypse
The Italian band Fleshgod Apocalypse has become a benchmark when it comes to symphonic death metal. Active since 2007, the band is joining Epica to promote their latest studio album, Opera. A dense album, inspired by a near-death experience of the band's vocalist, Francesco Paoli .
The relationship between Epica and Fleshgod Apocalypse is not recent. The two groups have shared stages on previous tours, such as in 2016 in North America . The two bands also collaborated on the track "The Great Tribulation" from Epica's album The Alchemy Project (2022).
In a year marked by major international tours in Brazil, with names like System Of A Down , Linkin Park , and other giants of the music scene, Epica reaffirms its relevance and strong connection with the Brazilian audience. The band's constant presence in the country over the years not only reaffirms the loyalty of its fanbase but also the strength of symphonic metal in the national market. With a new tour, a renewed repertoire, and the company of Fleshgod Apocalypse, the group promises once again to transform its shows into memorable nights for the Brazilian audience.
