We Might Be Seeing Fleshwrought Live!

If you haven’t heard Fleshwrought‘s debut album Dementia/Dyslexia, then you are missing out on some of the best proggy tech death of the year. I thought it was amazing, and if you have any sense about you, you should at least find it enjoyable to some degree. One of the songs has a (midi?) saxophone solo, for fuck’s sake. That’s awesome.

So now it looks like the two man project (featuring music by Navene Koperweis of Animosity/Animals As Leaders and vocals by Jonny Davey of Job For A Cowboy) is tossing around the idea of playing some shows, to which I say, “FUCK YES.”

As you can see in the above video, Navene kills it in the guitar parts while drummer Alex Rudinger pounds away, proving that the album was more than just some protools wizardry. This shit can be pulled off spotlessly.

More info to come when there’s something to report. Meanwhile, go listen to Dementia/Dyslexia — out now on Metal Blade — and bask in its glory.

[Metal Blade | 08/03/10]

Tech death is a bit of an iffy genre for me, as it tends to be filled with soulless wank under the guise of stellar musicianship. I let my opinion on the subject known in my Brain Drill review a few months ago, so I wont delve too much into that diatribe. Thankfully however, there are bands out there that know how to be technical and still produce something that’s both listenable and enjoyable, and new Metal Blade signing Fleshwrought are one of those bands.

Formerly known as Fleshrot, Fleshwrought consists of multi-istrumentalist Navene Kopperweis (ex-Animosity, Animals As Leaders) and vocalist Jonny Davey (Job For A Cowboy). Between the two and their musical escapades, a lot of hype and high expectations for their debut record, Dementia/Dyslexia, were built to an uncomfortably high level that lesser men would not have been able to live up to. However, every detail and note of the album’s 32 minutes were carefully crafted and re-examined before they were even signed, and this attention to detail returns on the investment.

Fleshwrought: New Proggy Tech Death For Your Listening Pleasure

Filed Under: New music, Upcoming releases

Jul.01, 2010

Who would have thought that putting the vocalist of Job For A Cowboy and the drummer from Animosity in a room together and having them write an album would yield results this good?

Fleshwrought, featuring Navene Koperweis of Animosity and Animals as Leaders and Jonny Davy of Job For A Cowboy, have inked a deal with Metal Blade Records, releasing their debut album Dementia/Dyslexia on August 3rd. The music is along the same lines as The Faceless without sounding too similar.

You can get a taste over on their MySpace, where they’re streaming three songs from the album which, once again, comes out on August 3rd on Metal Blade Records. Check it out!
