Industrial rock band, FLEISCHKRIEG has just unleashed their new single, “I Believe In Gnomes”.
“I Believe In Gnomes” is a song about our beliefs, who shapes them, and why. Many things that were too absurd to believe in (such as UFOs) have now been proven to be true. The crackpots have been vindicated. Now the gnomes ask us to consider what else have we been lied to about, and why. They ask us to examine our beliefs. Are they really ours to begin with or did we inherit them from a society bent on hiding the truth from us?
The single was Produced/Mixed/Mastered by Logan Mader who has produced and mixed acts such as Fear Factory, Divine Heresy, and Five Finger Death Punch.
“I Believe In Gnomes” is available on all major digital outlets including Spotify and Bandcamp.
FLEISCHKRIEG is the result of a chance encounter between an Uber driver and a drunk passenger partying in Seattle. The driver, Richard Cranor, and the passenger, Thomas Crawford, found themselves kindred spirits through a mutual love of Rammstein and industrial metal. When the opening act dropped out of Thomas’s solo “Ceraphym” show, he invited Richard to perform in their place. Richard agreed with the caveat that Thomas play guitars. FLEISCHKRIEG was formed.
The group, currently based in L.A., cite Rammstein, DK-Zero, Die Krupps, and Lord of the Lost as musical influences. Their moody electronic sound melds industrial metal with darkwave undertones, creating the genre of “Brutalwave”: a blend of new wave, metal guitars, and crushing industrial dance beats and vocals. Now with the addition of Nick Mason on drums and Kaylie Cortez on synth/keyboards, FLEISCHKRIEG’s live shows are a force to be reckoned with.
