The group&#8217;s debut album, \u2018Viral Extinction\u2019, was released three years later. Highlighting Ross&#8217; compositional skills via intricate programming that included symphonic elements, \u2018Belief Control\u2019 (2001) solidified their status and led to a record deal with Metropolis Records for the US release of \u2018Strain\u2019 (2004). Adding new layers of acoustic and electronic percussion, guitar and choral effects, the result was a widely acclaimed epic and anthemic sounding record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, silence. For almost two decades, Flesh Field lay dormant, even as the group&#8217;s songs were placed in films including &#8216;The Mill&#8217;, TV shows such as &#8216;True Blood&#8217; and video games like &#8216;Project Gotham Racing&#8217;. \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 the companion piece \u2018Voice of Reason\u2019 EP in 2024 and reissues of \u2018Viral Extinction\u2019 and \u2018Belief Control\u2019 in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fffm.to%2Fonenmity&amp;i=1&amp;d=iQgpUJ-CRVWGeuJgrc8E2A&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=Vm8jOy5vTg6ZPKUFBZRQGw&amp;s=yfkONZyT0OE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stream<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Ffleshfieldofficial.bandcamp.com%2Falbum%2Fon-enmity&amp;i=2&amp;d=iQgpUJ-CRVWGeuJgrc8E2A&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=Vm8jOy5vTg6ZPKUFBZRQGw&amp;s=NmxZixASZXA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flesh-field.com&amp;i=5&amp;d=iQgpUJ-CRVWGeuJgrc8E2A&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=Vm8jOy5vTg6ZPKUFBZRQGw&amp;s=4ADEcAGQbeU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Official Site<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fp%2FFlesh-Field-61550561975592%2F%3Fpaipv%3D0%26eav%3DAfZ0O-ljkvKaXZdHzM9vn4EfGVHwcx2E8W75qTs28qLVxCx0xJJ7TUwRA-VT_lR6u3I%26_rdr&amp;i=6&amp;d=iQgpUJ-CRVWGeuJgrc8E2A&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=Vm8jOy5vTg6ZPKUFBZRQGw&amp;s=be3jebIVVLs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0| \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dmanalytics2.com\/click?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Ffleshfield1&amp;i=7&amp;d=iQgpUJ-CRVWGeuJgrc8E2A&amp;e=alex%40mkultramagazine.com&amp;a=Vm8jOy5vTg6ZPKUFBZRQGw&amp;s=sl85jsBiu-k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ian Ross 2026 photo The US electro-industrial act&nbsp;Flesh Field&nbsp;have released a brand new album&nbsp;entitled \u2018On Enmity\u2019 today (20th February) on Metropolis Records.&nbsp;\u201cThis record contains the most personal material that I have ever written,\u201d&nbsp;states group founder Ian Ross.&nbsp;\u201cIt documents the aftermath of trauma; the dissection of damage and the endurance that follows when survival becomes an&hellip;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/?p=18594\" rel=\"bookmark\">Read More &raquo;<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">FLESH FIELD : &#8216;On Enmity&#8217; &#8211; new album by US electro-industrial act out today!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18595,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","neve_meta_sidebar":"","neve_meta_container":"","neve_meta_enable_content_width":"","neve_meta_content_width":0,"neve_meta_title_alignment":"","neve_meta_author_avatar":"","neve_post_elements_order":"","neve_meta_disable_header":"","neve_meta_disable_footer":"","neve_meta_disable_title":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18594"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18594\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18596,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18594\/revisions\/18596"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/18595"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mkultramagazine.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
