FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE have announced "Veleno Revisited," a 32-date European and UK anniversary tour celebrating the sixth anniversary of their acclaimed 2019 album "Veleno." The tour, running from September 3 through October 12, will see the Rome-based symphonic death metal band performing the album in its entirety for the first time since the album's original release tour, alongside a second set of career-spanning material including songs from "Agony" (2011), "Labyrinth" (2013), and "King" (2016).
"Veleno" was a critical and commercial high point for FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE — a baroque, operatically complex death metal record that drew comparisons to THE GREAT KAT and DIMMU BORGIR while maintaining a compositional sophistication that placed it in a unique category. The album's ambitious use of live opera vocals, provided on several tracks by soprano Veronica Bordacchini, was praised as a breakthrough in extreme metal production. The anniversary tour will feature Bordacchini reprising her roles on the album, making this one of the few instances of a death metal band incorporating live operatic performance at this level of authenticity.
The tour announcement comes as the band also confirms work on their sixth studio album, expected in early 2027. Guitarist and primary composer Francesco Ferrini described the new material as "the most extreme and technically demanding music we have written, while simultaneously the most emotionally direct." Support acts for the EU/UK run will include SEPTICFLESH and VALE OF PNATH, providing a strong package for fans of orchestral and symphonic extreme metal. Tickets go on sale March 20.
