Fleshvessel are a band from Chicago, Illinois that plats an avant garde, experimental and progressive mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2025 album "Obstinacy Sisyphean Dreams Unfolded" which was released by I, Voidhanger Records,
Puerto Rican style instruments start off the album before going into a very heavy and technical direction while the vocals bring in a mixture of black metal screams and death metal growls. When the music speeds up a great amount of blast beats can be heard and the solos and leads add in more of an aggressive style.
Avvant garde style synths and keyboards also mix in with the heavier sections of the music and also takes the album into more of an experimental direction. Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while all of the tracks are also very long and epic in length and clear singing is also used on a few songs.
Touches of jazz music are also utilized quite a bit throughout the album along with the songs also adding in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Folk instruments are also used at times as well as a few tracks also adding in a small amount of spoken words and clean playing is also added into certain sections of the recording. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover humanity's strife with the world.
In my opinion Fleshvessel are a very great sounding avant garde, experimental and progressive mixture of black and death metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Mental Myasis" and "It Lurched From A Chasm In The Sky". 8 out of 10.
