Horror abounds. What dark doom calls to you from beyond the sepulcher’s threshold? Descend the steps and meet your end.
Extremely fun to make, probably also the last time I used a wah pedal on a record.
Finding the Sound
Album that shaped a lot of my perspective on “genre.” This was a blast and a quick one to knock out. Matt had described Doom/Sludge metal to me as “slowcore but heavy” and I think I definitely took that a little too literally.
Inspirations
Big inspirations for my writing/pacing on this came from:
- Yeah Wings
- God Jr.
- Pallbearer
- YOB
- Electric Wizard
Reception
People in the world found this, and liked it and wrote about it. I continue to be grateful for that. I still get people writing to me about Flesh Of The Stars.

Has that 70's Dennis Wheatley film soundtrack quality. Flesh of The Stars throw down a blood splattered black velvet glove to the competition with their debut album...
Steve Rodger · favorite track: Through The Drain -
Unbelievably epic doom record! So glad I've stumbled upon this album. The tones, the vox, the interludes - everything just fucking top notch. I salute you, Fleshy peoples!
