Labyrinth is the third studio album by Italian symphonic death metal band Fleshgod Apocalypse. It was released on August 16, 2013, through Nuclear Blast.[6] It is the first album with the soprano vocals of Veronica Bordacchini, who would become a full-time member of the band in 2020.
The album is a concept album based upon the labyrinth of Knossos and the characters related to the associated myth. Guitarist and vocalist Tommaso Riccardi said "We focused on the philological aspect in order to represent all the elements of the classic world and, through a manic and meticulous research, we managed to create a metaphor with our times, as the maze can be associated with the endless search for what we really are."[7]
