Fleshgod Apocalypse Robbed of All Their Gear in Sweden
This never gets any easier to report every time it happens to a metal band: Fleshgod Apocalypse were robbed last night (April 2nd) after their show at Sticky Fingers in Gothenburg, Sweden.
This particular theft was more devastating than most, with nearly ALL of the band’s possession taken by the thieves: the band’s instruments, live production gear, merch, personal belongings and more. The remaining four shows of their tour — in Copenhagen, Hamburg, Brasov and Mannheim — have been canceled as a result.
The band hasn’t launched a fundraiser but is instead encouraging fans to buy merchandise from their official shop to help recoup the costs of what’s been lost, vowing to return as soon as possible.
Fleshgod Apocalypse announced the most unfortunate news via Facebook earlier today along with a video, which you can watch below:
“IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ AND SHARE!
