German band sounding like old school death metal from Sweden, these guys really tear it up and on purpose. They've stuck to their roots with amazing guitar work and that blissfully awesome death metal sound to them. I'm fairly new with their material, just got their CD in the mail recently, I liked this right away. I thought that the aura and overall sound was a total pinnacle. Each sound is brilliant and the energy is high up there. Their tempos are fast to medium paced and the brutality is all over the place. A lot of guitar work that's wholly original as well as fresh. It's too bad that they've not produced an album since 2007. I really am liking this band.

The vocals fit the guitar-work though they should've omitted all leads. But still they were good. Not a track on here that I disliked it was all interesting and new to me. And the music is just plain HEAVY. The drums are right on key as well with fast beats, double bass and the whole album was well mixed. I don't really have any complaints about this album because it's filled with everything that you should want out of a death metal release. It hit home on many different occasions. This band never compromised their sound. Some previous releases weren't as good as this one. I'd say as a whole, Fleshcrawl is a band that all death metal fans need to know about.

10 tracks of uncompromising death in the vein of Swedish death and it's so well played it's amazing. Song after song they produce music that is just astonishingly amazes the listener. I'm surprised that this one didn't get as many reviews as it should've but it could be because they're really underground. Hard to find bands like them now but Lifeless and Fatalist are two bands that have paved way too to this type of sound that they're playing on here (Swedish death metal). I can't complain about any of this they really took the music and shoved it up to the nth degree on your speakers or headphones. Nothing distasteful at all here.

Fleshcrawl needs more exposure. I was turned onto them by accident and I'm glad I was. I checked their albums on Spotify and thought "I need physical copies of their albums." If you have Spotify or YouTube available, check this one out. Not a song on here that's bad. It's all quality death metal from Germany with the Swedish "kick". Show the band some support and maybe they'll make a comeback, you never know. I believe that they're still active but have released an album for 11 years unfortunately. After 'Structures of Death' (2007), they really haven't made a full-length yet. Do yourself a favor and buy this album! Or at least get it online. It's worth it.
