The sixth album titled Opera is a gut-wrenching musical journey inspired by the tragic mountain climbing accident that occurred to frontman and mastermind Francesco Paoli in 2021.
With this new record, the band 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.
“The best stories always come from pain, it's a bitter truth yet undeniable.” Francesco P. states. “We managed to turn one of the worst things in life into a work of art, that embodies our personal and artistic growth and takes the listeners on a rollercoaster of emotions, where they can experience what I've been through hand in hand with me. It's a waking nightmare but that's how life is sometimes, just scary.”
“In my visionary representation of this journey, that begins with my near death experience and culminates in a much desired physical and psychological rebirth, I wanted to frame every single step of my calvary, as if they were acts of an "Opera Lirica", with dialogues or even confessions to imaginary characters, who have been constant presences throughout my whole (mis)adventure.
This album tosses you in a vortex of discomfort and uncontrollable feelings, where you can experience pain, fear, desperation, anger, frustration, but also resolve, courage, hope and a profound desire for redemption. I strongly believe that this album is a solid manifest of resilience, and I hope that my story will inspire people who got “lost” for whatever reason.”
Francesco P. says of the new song:
"What do we see right before we die? Well, with ‘Bloodclock’ I bear my witness and reveal the personal visions I had while hanging on a rope, unconscious, a few hundred meters above the ground. It's insane how reality can be much more terrifying and soul crushing than imagination.
Soon after my discharge from the hospital, me and Francesco Ferrini started writing immediately, even if I was still bedridden and unable to play. The idea was to capture the mood of those dramatic days and make sure to keep intact the sense of desperation and fear that was still running through my veins after the accident. Later on, we worked with the others to develop those ideas and create the music that such a strong story deserves, music that takes your breath away and tosses you into a vortex of mixed feelings and discomfort.
I believe we nailed it 110%.
And the video is a spectacular representation of that disaster. I pushed Martina (McLean, video director) to the limit because I knew she could find a poetic, metaphorical yet extremely impactful way to match the fury of the song with awe-inspiring images. She did an amazing job and we're proud to state that this is the best music video we've ever had in our career."
“But this song is not only about death, it's also about life. ‘I’m not dead yet’ was some sort of mantra that became my battle-cry. The moment I woke up, I started my war to stay alive, that with time turned into a true and never-ending calvary as I'm still carrying the cross for what happened that day. But this is another story and its time is yet to come…”

FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE "BLOODCLOCK" LYRICS Francesco: Himself Veronica: Life Awake, alone, paralyzed The blood in my mouth tastes like defeat Wounded, swollen, bleeding I'm hanging on this wall like a crucifix Pieces of bones scattered everywhere I wrap my left arm around my neck I feel my legs no more While adrenaline is blasting my bursting heart Drop by drop All my blood Turns this granite to red Tick tock Like a clock Till my veins are emptied And the wind Plucks a harp While my soul disappears But I'm not dead yet! I can see my life flashing before my eyes I can hear my wife yelling my name in vain While my son holds a shovel and is digging my grave But I'm not dead yet... All I know is that I don't want to leave this earth today On this rope I must fight tooth and nail Hear these words that like a mantra I repeat to myself I'm not dead yet! Not yet, the countdown has started for the bloodclock Broken is the hourglass, exsanguinating till the last drop, ah! I can see my life flashing before my eyes I can hear my wife yelling my name in vain While my son holds a shovel and is digging my grave But I'm not dead yet... All I know is that I don't want to leave this earth today On this rope I must fight tooth and nail Hear these words that like a mantra I repeat to myself I'm not dead yet! (Life) - I can be cruel sometimes Let you touch the sky or make you fall! Watch you, striving for peace of mind Hunting high and low Till you're gone! Future is so unpredictable Just hold on To your hopes - I'm not dead yet! Mark my words ‘cause I'm not dead yet! And I'm not dying today! I'm not dead yet, fuck!

The Gold Standard for symphonic extreme metal used to be Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth but unfortunately their music has become very stagnant now the Gold Standard has become Fleshgod Apocalypse and Septicflesh!

I prefer FA because more emotional and "hot" than SF, also very good but too much "cold".

[@richardlagberg8258]

I like your analysis… That said, Fleshgod actually has been better than both DB and CoF since the release of The Agony 2011… but there have been a tough way forward to get the metal heads understand their greatness…

You guys are one of the few bands that´s keeping the flame of real metal burning in these awful times. Hearing this song properly loud is has brought back the feel of sound pressure that sometimes forget that I´m addicted to. Nothing I´ve heard since several years can compare to this that you all bring to us. I would really like to thank you, I´m buying this album like did with all your others . You have it all and everything is awesome. Greetings and truly thank you.
