SELF-PROMOTIONAL CROSS-POST INCOMING (last one for a while) We finally got our new record out today after many months of writing, tweaking, recording, overdubbing, etc. It's meant to be listened to as one long song, but it's been broken up into 7 tracks. You can listen to and download it here: https://fleshofthestars.bandcamp.com/album/anhilla We actually tried to get press this time and here are what a few people had to say: Invisible Oranges posted:Oh wow, this caught me off guard. Flesh of the Stars’s older material definitely fell under the “stoner/doom metal which leaves Jon nonplussed,” but Anhilla is one of those rare, stunning moments of punctuated maturation. Resembling the atmospheric grandeur and emotional weight of Anathema’s first steps into “rock music,” but still retaining the slow, methodical approach of the doom metal which preceded it, Anhilla is a slow-burner which will leave you completely devastated. Treat this one with patience and you will be rewarded. Kim Kelly posted:Equal parts lumbering doom, ambitious prog, shoegazey fragility, and gothic drama Head-Banger Reviews posted:I’ll be quick and short: in my personal life I’ve quite a bit going on, and like I said I always need something to wind me down that also reflects how I feel. Something melancholic, slow, and something that takes me on a euphoric trip through dimensions and through time. Flesh of the Stars would’ve been a far shot from my first answer, but holy loving poo poo they do every single one of those things flawlessly with their upcoming third full-length record of “Anhilla”. However, this band has truly evolved their style in since their debut, “Hide”, from what could’ve been described as a stoner/horror style to a whole other level of music while still keeping the same core style. Flesh of the Stars sticks to their doom/stoner roots and make “Anhilla” a pretty slow burner of a record with almost every track longer than the previous, yet there’s so much more to “Anhilla”. It’s not all crunchy guitars and deep throated growls. The vast majority of this album consists of beautifully sewn together melodies from melancholic guitars, a slow-paced drum beat, and an overall sound that takes your consciousness out of your body and into a realm that few bands can give us access to. The riffage, solos, and amazing vocals all come together with “Anhilla” to make what I’ve nothing but utter confidence in calling the best record put out by Flesh of the Stars. We also have a record release show on Saturday in Columbus, OH. Thanks for putting up with my constant spamming! I hope you like the record. We worked really hard on it.

Throw on your best headphones, throw your head back, close your eyes or this album doesn't work at all.

Dirt posted:The System has failed was good too, despite having maybe the worst music video ever for one of its songs.  Lookin' forward to seeing them at Bloodstock again this year. Doubly so if there are more crazy "Dave is an rear end in a top hat" stories like how he allegedly tried to get salmon and mango banned from the campsite. Also I am unironically sad that the story about the bassist from Tacocat being his illegitimate daughter was made up.

Vulture Culture posted:Supposedly they were playing Qstock a few years ago and Dave Mustaine refused to play the gig if salmon was being served in the adjacent tent. I guess he can't deal with the smell of fish? It is Finnish food, so I wouldn't blame him if he wanted all the other food vendors shuttered too.

I know Mustaine's a bit of a loony rear end in a top hat but to me he's also the endearing loony I just can't dislike. There's something charming and vulnerable about his whole personality eventhough he's a bit of a lunatic. Also, I was pleasantly surprised seeing him (most of the time) being very nice and polite towards fans on twitter.

Killing is my Business - Good Peace Sells - Amazing SFSGSW - Okayish Rust in Peace - Amazing. One of the best albums ever Countdown - Great. Ashes in your mouth is probably the best Deth song Youth - Good Cryptic Writings - Good Risk - Terrible TWNAH - Handful of okayish/good songs, rest is bad System has failed - ^ ^ ^ United Abominations - Handful of good songs, rest is meh. Lack of punchy production hurts Endgame - Handful of good songs, rest is meh Thirteen - Handful of good songs, rest is meh The album they put out in 2013 that I can't remember - Bad Dystopia - Haven't heard yet

Wrath of Mordark posted:Ahh, ok. I thought they were talking about Bloodstock 2014 in which case it would have been the first I'd heard of that. I was talking about Bloodstock 2014 actually. It's just a rumour but because it's Dave Mustaine, a lot people go "yeah, that sounds plausible" The other rumours were that Satan weren't allowed to start playing until after Megadeth had finished and that he demanded Rotting Christ be moved to a different day as he wouldn't play on the same day as a band with that name. Henchman of Santa posted:It was? Yeah it was a joke article she wrote for Vice (I think?).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sw0UCFa7CjE These programmed drums are incredibly over the top but they do the whole symphonic djent kind of thing well. Sounds like this album is a bit more diverse than their last outing. Like I really enjoy what they're doing but they have a tendency to use the same riff/progression for too long in one song.
