FLESHLESS “Devoured Beyond Recognition” /CD/

The eighth full-length album by Czech Melodic Brutal Death Metal band.
Long awaited and highly anticipated album of of these Brutal Death Metal masters!
No introductions needed. None at all. Those beasts reign since 1993. Now, after so many years in the scene, there is definitely gonna be a shitload of opinions about em. Some positive and some not so charming but all minds and opinions would meet to the following: Fleshless, after 22 years of service, have never backed down an inch from their original idea of extremity! Stayed true to their beliefs and mostly to their fans.
After a short and epic intro, barbarity begins blasted. "Dead Never Dies" and the song is the best opener. Blasted, relentless and with a nice lead in the middle. "Epitome of Malefice" starts were the previous one left us. Fast and uncompromising Death Metal with multiple sharp edges and a nice Thrashy blanket on top. Yes this is something obvious from the start. The new album has an intense Thrashy feeling and in some parts it will bring in mind a lot of Sweden but these moments are just a pinch of salt to make it tastier. A perfect seasoning and nothing more. The base of "Devoured Beyond Recognition" is Death Metal and this is something none can doubt about. The songs proceed and it gets clear that, what Fleshless succeeded in here, is to give this album a continuous flow. The songs succeed one another starting exactly where the previous one left. This leads to one assumption. Not boring. The breaks and chops they use in between songs as interleaves help a lot to that. The songs are wrathful and fast but most of them have clever licks and leads and in some occasions classical interleaves before they burst into blasting madness again. 
"Spirit Deformed", "Divine Ruination" and "Mankind Fall" are some of the next titles. The album is based on riffs. Death Metal riffs followed by great drumming and a relentless growler behind the mic. Awesome vocals from mr Prokos and an example of how a voice could be an instrument and not just a filler. Production is awesome.
What never fails us in Fleshless is the cover art and this time they did it again. A crazed madman making the traditional Turkish/Greek guros (slices of meat from pork) out of a human torso...
Listening to a 22 year old band, you will enjoy their, sounding so fresh, stuff! "Devoured Beyond Recognition" is what Fleshless provide us with for 2015 and we're definitely on their train!!
