Fleshgod Apocalypse are back at work on their next album and it's a concept album. In fact, the Italian symphonic metallers will tentatively release their new record titled King in early 2016 via Nuclear Blast Records. The tracking will start this summer at Kick Recording Studio and 16th Cellar Studio in Rome. Mixing and mastering will be handled by the world-renowned Jens Bogren (Amon Amarth, At The Gates, Arch Enemy) at Fascination Street studios in Sweden later this year. Get ready for King!

Acclaimed artist Eliran Kantor (Testament, Iced Earth, Kataklysm) will handle all the artwork and iconography for the album that follows 2013's Labyrinth.

Francesco Paoli, drummer/songwriter, comments: "The new album is called King. It's a concept album. It took longer this time but I believe it's a sign of more maturity and determination within the band. We can't release something mediocre just because it's enough to keep things rolling. I believe the music world requires people to work harder on their material and that is what Fleshgod Apocalypse is set to do in this 'new middle age' era. At the end of the day, quality is the final goal, right? That's why our expectations in our music and writing become higher every time we approach the stage of creating a new album. We always follow our feelings and try to express our state of mind through our music, and what we have in our hands now is the darkest Fleshgod album ever. As for the concept behind the album, all I can say right now is that I think we need a good psychiatrist!"
