If you’re into metal that’s both brutally heavy and sweepingly epic, you’re in for a treat. Italian band Fleshgod Apocalypse is bringing their signature symphonic death metal to North America in Spring 2026, and they’ve got some special shows planned.
Special Headlining Shows Announced
Fleshgod Apocalypse is mostly supporting Avatar on their Spring 2026 tour, but on select “off dates,” they’ll headline their own concerts. These gigs promise longer setlists and cooler stage productions since Fleshgod Apocalypse is the main act. It’s a chance to see them dive deeper into their complex, orchestra-laced songs.
Joining them on most of these headlining dates is Texas death metal band Frozen Soul. On some nights, Frozen Soul is also on the Avatar bill, so you might catch both bands twice! The lineup covers death metal from stark and crushing to grand and storytelling-driven.
Key Headlining Dates to Remember
These are the shows where Fleshgod Apocalypse is the headliner:
- April 21: Dallas, TX @ Granada Theatre (Frozen Soul not on this date)
- April 27: St. Louis, MO @ Red Flag (with Frozen Soul)
- May 17: Albany, NY @ Empire Live (with Frozen Soul)
- May 18: Montreal, QC @ Beanfield Theater (with Frozen Soul)
Tickets for these headlining shows are sold through Fleshgod Apocalypse’s official website. For the Avatar tour dates (where they’re supporting), tickets are available via StubHub.

Get to Know the Bands
Fleshgod Apocalypse
This Rome-based group has been shaking stages since 2007 by fusing古典 music with extreme metal. They’re currently touring their acclaimed 2024 album Opera, which blends crushing death metal with lush symphonic layers. The single “Bloodclock” even got named Heavy Song of the Week for its intense, claustrophobic beauty. If you like your metal smart and symphonic, they’re a must-see.
Frozen Soul
Texas death metallers Frozen Soul bring raw, powerful riffs and guttural vocals. Their new album No Place of Warmth drops on May 8, 2026. They’ve already released singles like the blast-driven “Absolute Zero” and the title track featuring a wild guest vocal from Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance. Yes, emo and death metal collide—it’s as awesome as it sounds.
Why These Shows Are a Big Deal
Fleshgod Apocalypse’s headlining sets are rare chances to experience their full, epic compositions without time limits. Expect extended versions of songs from Opera and earlier albums, all with theatrical stage production. Paired with Frozen Soul’s relentless energy, it’s a night of pure metal extremes. Even if you catch them on the Avatar tour, you’ll still get a killer show.
Can’t make it to a concert? Stream Opera and Frozen Soul’s singles now to prep for the tour. The music is complex, aggressive, and surprisingly catchy once you get into it.
