His departure has led to some reorganization of the band\u2019s lineup. The group issued the below statement on the matter earlier today, October 10th:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHello friends,<\/p>\n<p>there\u2019s no easy way to say this, so we\u2019ll go straight to the point:<\/p>\n<p>about a couple of months ago, our singer Tommaso left the band for personal reasons. Our separation wasn\u2019t painless, but everybody thought this was the best solution.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore we sat down and tried to figure out all possible scenarios for a band that suddenly loses its frontman. The will to go on and continue this journey was stronger than everything else.<\/p>\n<p>Since the message of Fleshgod Apocalypse goes beyond music itself, we couldn\u2019t let someone who wasn\u2019t there since the beginning be its spokesman. So the only way to go on was to take a look back at our roots: we decided that Francesco Paoli, our drummer, songwriter, founder and first frontman of the band, was the natural choice for this delicate and also challenging position.<\/p>\n<p>Our mastermind has finally taken back his originary role as lead vocalist and guitarist.<\/p>\n<p>From now on, besides our precious soprano singer Veronica Bordacchini, we\u2019ll have the honour to share the stage with the Italian metal legend David Folchitto (Stormlord, Prophilax) on drums together with the phenomenal Fabio Bartoletti (Deceptionist) on lead guitar. Fleshgod Apocalypse are more focused and determined than ever.<\/p>\n<p>Expect new epic live experiences and, most likely, the darkest and heaviest Fleshgod Apocalypse album that we\u2019ve ever written. We can\u2019t wait to start this new, exciting chapter of our career.<\/p>\n<p>Our friends in South America will be the first ones to witness the new course of the band, with Francesco as our frontman. What doesn\u2019t kill you makes you stronger.<\/p>\n<p>Fleshgod Apocalypse&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSource: The PRP<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fleshgodapocalypse\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fleshgodapocalypse<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE have announced the departure of vocalist\/guitarist Tommaso Riccardi from their ranks.
