Fleshgod Apocalypse<\/a><\/strong> is back with a new song detailing a real-life tragedy. The band is now streaming “Pendulum”, which is not only their first song since frontman Francesco Paoli<\/strong>‘s 2021 tragic mountain climbing accident<\/a>, but one that chronicles the horrifying experience.<\/p>\n “This is the first song we release since my ‘dance’ with death, back in August 2021,” said Paoli<\/strong>. “It’s obvious that such a life changing event would have affected our music. It took a toll on me, physically and mentally, and sharing my experience is also part of my healing process. ‘Pendulum’ is just the opening chapter of a bigger story, which is yet to be told\u2026”<\/p>\n “Pendulum” was mixed and mastered by Grammy-nominated producer Jacob Hansen<\/strong> (Volbeat<\/a><\/strong>, Epica<\/a><\/strong>, Arch Enemy<\/a><\/strong>), a music video music video directed by Martina L. McLean<\/strong>, and artwork by Italian artist Ludovico Cioffi<\/strong>.<\/p>\n On the video, Paoli<\/strong> adds: “The music video, realized by visionary Italian director Martina L. McLean<\/strong>, turned my unfortunate incident into a monumental visual experience, an awe inspiring blend of obscure symbolism, surreal architectures and nightmarish mythological creatures. It perfectly portraits the struggle and the desperation of that day, a day of defeat\u2026 but also the day of my rebirth.”\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
