Fleshgod Apocalypse premiered a music video for their latest single, "I Can Never Die", which is a track from their forthcoming studio album, "Opera", that will be released on August 23rd by Nuclear Blast Records.

frontman Francesco Paoli said of the song, "Memory is the strongest force in the universe, as it's the one and only that can give us immortality.
