Album Release

Introducing: to you Fleischkrieg

Industrial Metal act Fleischkrieg last year (2021), on October 15th released their brilliant album 'Herzblut'. 'Herzblut' debuts the sound of “Brutalwave”, a sub-genre of Industrial that blends the Synth-Pop of New Wave with more aggressive Metal elements. Songs such as 'Fools Folly' and the cover of Frankie goes to Hollywood’s 'Relax' showcase this new sound in great detail. 'Herzblut' is steeled in melodic synth, Metal guitars, and apocalyptic vocals... packing a heavy enough punch both lyrically and sonically to keep any fan of Industrial Rock music listening from beginning to end.

'Herzblut' translates to "Heart’s Blood” in German a metaphor used to describe the total effort and sacrifice a person makes towards their life’s work. The album’s songs reflect different stages of this hero’s journey and the scars born in the process. The songs often deal with the paranormal, aliens, and dystopian matrix/simulation theories. A night of alien abduction nightmares inspired vocalist Richard Cranor to write the song 'Bloody Prophets'. The album also deals with much more introspective topics. 'Parasite' for example, documents the ordeal of never being able to free yourself from your worst self destructive tendencies.
