Fleshgod Apocalypse Attain Eternal Life with New Track “I Can Never Die”
Follow us on social media
Nearly a month out from the release of their new album Opera, Italian symphonic death metal outfit Fleshgod Apocalypse released the latest single, titled “I Can Never Die.”
As you’d expect from the band, it’s a loud, bombastic, and melodic track that fans should absolutely get stoked. Frontman Francesco Paoli said the song is the result of his own personal near-death experience.
“Memory is the strongest force in the universe, as it’s the one and only that can give us immortality. It can’t be deceived or shaped to our liking as, in the end, we are what we do and what we leave to posterity faithfully reflects what kind of men and women we’ve been. Some people don’t give the right value to their actions, focusing on immediate profit, and forgetting that our choices have a decisive impact on our and other people’s existence. Especially when you are an artist. It’s essential to remember that everything we create outlives us, it has a life of its own and, once it’s brought into existence, it belongs to everyone and we have no more control over it.
“Death can occur abruptly any time and there’s no chance to change what it’s done, once we’re gone. As far as I’m concerned, one of my first thoughts when I realized that I could have died was ‘who have I been’ and ‘what am I leaving behind’. I recollected my whole life and figured out how much determination, sacrifice and honesty I’ve put into art and that made me so proud that I would have died in peace.
“That’s why we wrote this song, which is nothing but a glorious anthem for all those who commit their existence to art in the purest possible way.”
Opera comes out on August 23 via Nuclear Blast Records, but you can pre-order your copy today.
