FLESHCRAWL Release Video For "Chapel of Guts" Alongside New Album 'Epitome of Carnage'
"Everything from the cover art to older school production values / tones speaks volumes for Fleshcrawl’s everlasting commitment to their ways – unyielding, authentic, resolute to keep their style on the map. Long-timers have their favorites if they’ve been into Fleshcrawl since those early 90s efforts – so Epitome of Carnage won’t disappoint that following. This record could also introduce a younger generation unfamiliar with this group – and if so, they have dropped in at just the right time, as the performances, songwriting, and overall chemistry showcases a quintet not ready to throw in the towel just yet." 8.5/10 DEAD RHETORIC USA
"With "Epitome of Carnage", FLESHCRAWL delivers a focused, no-frills death metal record that balances old-school brutality with tight, experienced songwriting. Relentless pace, heavy grooves, and occasional doom-laden moments keep things varied without losing impact. A solid, forceful statement from a seasoned band still operating at full strength!" 8.5/10 HEADBANGERS AUSTRALIA
"Many veterans release solid albums these days that play through nicely and then immediately gather dust on the shelf. Epitome of Carnage, however, sticks with you. Because of its riffs. Because of its atmosphere. Because of this constant blend of frenzy and heaviness. And because not for a single second does the band try to chase any trend. FLESHCRAWL simply do exactly what they have mastered for decades — only better, more focused, and angrier than ever!" 9.5/10 – ZEPHYRS ODEM (DE)
FLESHCRAWL unveil a torrent of ferocious bloodshed, chaos and power in their tenth studio album, Epitome of Carnage, out now via Distortion Music Group (DMG) - Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music. Accompanying the full length release is a rampage of gloom in the new music video for "Chapel of Guts".
On "Chapel of Guts" FLESHCRAWL share, "with 'Chapel of Guts' we wanted to showcase the full spectrum of our sound. This track stands out from our more classic Swedish Death Metal tracks, making it the perfect contrast to the other singles and the album as a whole. It's a short break from the more straight-forward tracks, offering a more dark contrast."
"It digs a bit deeper into the Fleshcrawl roots, combining heavy, doomy passages with intense blast beats and a lot of dynamics. It captures that darker atmosphere we wanted to have on the record. It is Death Metal with a room to breathe and then to choke."
On the writing process the band explain, "We didn't force it into a specific direction; we just let the track develop its own flow and energy during the writing process."
A foreboding darkness awaits in "Chapel of Guts". A haunting, enveloping atmosphere swells and hurriedly subsides as the pace increases and intensity rises. As the heaviness ebbs and flows through chaos, it's ferocious brutality leaves nothing in its wake.
