Labyrinth is the third full-length album by Italian technical death metal band Fleshgod Apocalypse. It was released on August 16, 2013, through Nuclear Blast.[6]

Concept

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 meticolous 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]
