Bloodsoul
''Bloodsoul'' is the third studio album by the German death metal band Fleshcrawl. It was the last Fleshcrawl album to feature vocalist Alex Pretzer. In addition, it was the first of their albums to be recorded at The Abyss studio. This album is typical of Fleshcrawl's mid-to-late-1990s sound, characterized by rapid speed passages, high-speed rolling double bass drum patterning, and well layered melodic guitar riffing. The general sound can be thought of as highly similar to that of other 1990s-era melodic death metal bands such as Dismember and Grave, with slight hints of Terrorizer-like grindcore/deathgrind sounds, especially in the vocals. Track listing # "Bloodsoul" – 5:59 # "In the Dead of Night" – 4:19 # "Embalmed Beauty Sleep" ( Demlich cover) – 4:49 # "Contribution Suicide" – 5:08 # "Age of Chaos" – 4:37 # "Recycling the Corpses" – 3:46 # "Nocturnal Funeral" – 2:41 # "Tomb of Memories" – 3:43 Personnel * Alex Pretzer – vocals * Mike Hanus – guita ...

Made Of Flesh
''Made of Flesh'' is the seventh studio album by the German death metal band Fleshcrawl. It is considered the sequel to '' Soulskinner'' and is the first of their albums to feature their current guitarist Oliver Grbavac, who joined the band to replace founding member Stefan Hanus and the last to feature bass guitarist Tobias Schick. Being widely considered a de facto sequel to ''Soulskinner'', the two albums share a highly similar sound, which is general of Fleshcrawl's work since the late 1990s. Both albums feature prominent Swedish death metal-style guitar work, composed of eminently rhythmic riffing and short, moderately technical guitar solos, not unlike many contemporary bands of the melodic death metal genre, particularly Dismember, Grave, and to an extent, Arch Enemy. As is typical of Fleshcrawl's latest work, the melodic guitar rhythms are complemented with a familiar drum sound, consisting of blast beats incorporated into highly embossed, yet not obtrusive, rapid doubl ...

Bloodred Massacre
''Bloodred Massacre'' is the fourth studio album by the German death metal band Fleshcrawl. It is their first release to feature vocalist Sven Gross, who performed with the band until his death in 2021. This album, although somewhat different from the previous Fleshcrawl releases, is highly archetypal of the band's general 1990s sound. It is more rhythmic than its predecessors, helping to fortify the band's stake in the melodic death metal genre, and is strongly characterized by agile and smooth, yet sometimes dramatic, patterning transitions, medium-to-high tempo cyclic riffs that sometimes resemble speed metal, baritonic death growls, and rapid double bass drum rolls, typical of death metal. The general themes of the album remain consistent with earlier releases and cover such concepts as violent death, hell-born rebirth ("Hellspawn"), misanthropy ("Bloodred Massacre"), deception ("The Messenger"), and eternal damnation ("Through the Veil of Dawn"). Track listing # "Hellspa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Impurity (Fleshcrawl Album)
''Impurity'' is the second studio album by the German death metal band Fleshcrawl. It was their first album to feature guitarist Mike Hanus, brother of founding member Stefan Hanus and last to feature founding bass guitarist Markus Amann, and it is the only Fleshcrawl album thus far that does not bear the "carved-in-flesh" Fleshcrawl logo. This album is different from the preceding '' Descend into the Absurd'' in that it is somewhat more melodic and musically organized, thus making it closer to the Swedish subgenre of death metal in relation than their earlier releases, which carry a more generic death metal sound. As is typical of their mid-1990s albums, and of mid-1990s Swedish/melodic death metal in general, ''Impurity'' is characterized by rapid bass drum rolls that alternate with slower, more intense patterns, particularly to counter the mid-to-high tempo guitar riffs. However, the sound of this album is unique among similar bands of the same time in that the drums are to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Soulskinner
''Soulskinner'' is the sixth studio album by the German death metal band Fleshcrawl. The last to feature founding guitarist Stefan Hanus.
