Official press release:
Coming on the heels of the band’s most successful LP, 2024’s Duck Face Killings, Fulci return with a special 12” maxi-single serving as the soundtrack to the short film Risorsero dalla Tomba e Fu… L’Apocalisse! (They Rose From the Tomb and It Was… The Apocalypse!).
Created in collaboration with director Domenico Montixi, the 30-minute film merges paranormal horror with Spaghetti Western atmosphere, drawing direct inspiration from Lucio Fulci’s City Of The Living Dead and Four Of The Apocalypse. The film is set to begin its international festival run soon, with a trailer premiering at FULCICON 2 in Milan, the event organized by the band Fulci to celebrate Lucio Fulci and Italian genre cinema.
The maxi-single features a suite of new Fulci compositions that drift between eerie, cinematic soundscapes evoking the Lovecraftian aura of Fulci’s films, and the band’s signature gore-giallo death metal. It also includes a special cover of Fabio Frizzi’s “Apoteosi Del Mistero” from City Of The Living Dead. Risorsero dalla Tomba e Fu… L’Apocalisse! further expands the band’s cinematic universe where extreme music and cult horror collide, serving as a uniquely atmospheric release bridging Duck Face Killings, the band’s relentless touring schedule, and the eventual arrival of their fifth full-length album.
Produced by Fulci, recorded at Spvn, mixed and mastered by Stefano Santi, and completed with cover art by Lucas Ruggieri, title card by Caterina Solinas, and layout/design by ascionemagro, the record features guest vocals on “Apoteosi Del Mistero” by Nate Garrett (Spirit Adrift, Neon Nightmare). This is a must-hear release for fans of Cannibal Corpse, Obituary, Merauder, Suffocation, Madball, Goblin, Fabio Frizzi, and Slayer.
Risorsero dalla Tomba e Fu… L’Apocalisse! will be released as a one-sided 12” vinyl maxi-single on May 1st. Pre-order options can be found at the 20 Buck Spin webshop HERE and Bandcamp HERE.
Fulci is also preparing to return to North America as part of this year’s Decibel Magazine Tour, joining Necrot, Blood Monolith, and headliners Cryptopsy performing their seminal None So Vile album in its entirety. The tour runs from April 30th to May 28th.
