When you think of Japanese music fans, those who are into symphonic death metal don't usually spring to mind. But the fandom is real, and Italian metal band Fleshgod Apocalypse can attest to that.
Riding the success of fourth album, "King," the group returns to Japan for the first time in two years next week for a three-city tour.
Fleshgod bassist and vocalist Paolo Rossisays the group's choice to tour in Japan was driven just as much by its fans as it was the members themselves.
