#553 - Francesco Paoli (Fleshgod Apocalypse)

Fleshgod Apocalypse mastermind Francesco Paoli is on this week's
podcast! Today's show focuses heavily on the band's first new album
in five years, Opera! The album dropped this past Friday and we
gave it a pretty strong score, so naturally we wanted to talk about
what went into the release. During our chat, we discuss the
mountain climbing accident that put Paoli's life on pause, the
recovery process, and the tour that helped him feel normalcy again
on stage after the accident. We also chat about the personal
approach he took on the new album, his experiences with the opera
growing up, and we discuss the upcoming North American tour. Petar
and Sylvia discuss Mötley Crüe dropping a Beastie Boys cover and
why that choice is a head scratcher in our opinion, Slipknot's Sid
Wilson getting burned in an explosion, Korn launching a fan art
contest for their 30th anniversary, and all the fall tour
cancellations happening in North America. Song: Fleshgod Apocalypse
