Flesh Field<\/strong> is a US electro-industrial act formed in 1996 by Ian Ross in Columbus, Ohio. Their debut album, \u2018Viral Extinction\u2019, was released three years later, earning glowing reviews for its widescreen cinematic sound achieved by blending synths, percussion, guitar and sampled choir. The group\u2019s music earned plaudits for its aggressive approach and subsequently featured in a number of film\/TV soundtracks and video games.

A remastered reissue of \u2018Viral Extinction\u2019 has been released today (27th June). It includes current single \u2018Where Angels Go To Die\u2019, which Ross reflects \u201cwas written in apocalyptic language as a bleak reflection on disillusionment, spiritual decay and loss of belief. Musically, however, it was designed to sound darkly angelic.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having pronounced the retirement of Flesh Field in 2011, Ross eventually relocated to Virginia, where he resurrected the name to issue the album \u2018Voice of the Echo Chamber\u2019 in late 2023 and \u2018Voice Of Reason\u2019 companion piece EP in April 2024.

Flesh Field is a US electro-industrial act formed in 1996 by Ian Ross in Columbus, Ohio. Their debut album, \u2018Viral Extinction\u2019, was released three years later, while several of its songs were subsequently remixed by several contemporaries and issued together with new material on the album-length \u2018Redemption’ EP in 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highlighting the band\u2019s compositional skills with bombastic symphonic elements and intricate synth and percussion programming, 2001\u2019s \u2018Belief Control\u2019 solidified Flesh Field\u2019s status as a band to be reckoned with. It also led to the group signing to Metropolis Records for the US release of their third album, \u2018Strain\u2019. With new layers of acoustic and electronic percussion, guitar and choral effects added into the mix, these elements resulted in an epic and anthemic feel to a record that was acclaimed by fans and critics alike.

Then, silence. For almost two decades, Flesh Field lay dormant, even as numerous tracks from their catalogue were placed in the soundtracks of films including ‘The Mill’, TV shows such as ‘True Blood’ and video games like ‘Project Gotham Racing’. \u2018Voice Of The Echo Chamber\u2019 suddenly appeared in 2023, a concept work with each of its ten tracks representing stages of political radicalisation and violence. It was followed by an album length companion piece EP entitled \u2018Voice Of Reason\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
