A music video for Fleshgod Apocalypse‘s new track “Morphine Waltz” arrived in tandem with today’s (August 23rd) release of the Italian symphonic death metal band’s latest album, “Opera“. Radka Klein helmed the video, with vocalist Francesco Paoli having the following to say of the song and its visual counterpart:
“‘Morphine Waltz‘, THE visionary song par excellence, has a much deeper meaning, which goes beyond its lysergic atmosphere. It’s actually a true anthem to science, which once again has proved itself to be the only reality that counts.
But this track is also a perfect demonstration that our new line-up is on a whole new level, showcasing Veronica‘s amazing versatility besides Eugene‘s and Fabio‘s insane technical skills.
After a few cinematic music videos, we wanted to pay tribute to another essential, if not the most important, dimension for the band: the stage. Delivering intense and truly theatrical live performances allows us to create a direct, unbreakable bond with our fans. And our upcoming North American tour will be our most theatrical ever.
Folks, today is the day! Let’s not waste any more time with words and let the music speak for itself.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the ‘Opera‘!”
The North American tour mentioned above will begin next month and find the band out co-headlining with Shadow Of Intent. Ingested, The Zenith Passage &Disembodied Tyrant will open.
