To kick off 2016 with a bang, Italian symphonic-death metal masters Fleshgod Apocalypse will release the first single from their new opus, King, on January 1st, entitled “The Fool”.

The band commented: "“The Fool” is one of the craziest songs of the album and we felt like it was a perfect way to let people approach our new work. It’s a song without compromises and because of the character it is about, we had the chance to get into a profound matter that concerns us all."

Comments Fleshgod Apocalypse: "We are super stoke to finally return to the US and Canada! To celebrate the release of our upcoming album King, we are going to play a special show for you. Lots of new elements and features will be presented during an extended set, which will include songs from Labyrinth and several classics! Also, it will be great to share the stage with our dutch brothers from Carach Angren, and the crazy american black metal act Abigail Wiliams. We already know it's going to be a blast! See you there and hail to the King!"

Carach Angren adds: "We are very thrilled to return the horror to the USA and Canada! After bringing Death to the Phantom Ship in Florida we will set foot on mainland for the entire month of February.
