This album brings mind-dazzling tunes and lyrics.
American metalcore band Dying Wish is known for their powerful and politically charged music that blends the elements of hardcore and metal music with lyrics addressing personal trauma, social issues and revolution. Last year, the band released the live album, Dying Wish | Audiotree from Nothing, and now, Dying Wish has released their latest album, Flesh Stays Together. What is fabulous about the music is how each track is filled with wild and energetic music that resembles what it is like to be human in this dark world.
“I Don’t Belong Here” kicks things off with a solid start. Emma Boster’s vocals welcome the listeners with elegant melodies that bring the feeling of hopelessness before she starts screaming and yelling out the lyrics in pure hatred. The instrumentation smacks the background with a fast-paced and heavy sound that matches the dark theme of this composition.
Another stunning ditty is “I’ll Know You’re Not Around,” and what is really exciting about the whole thing is how the music sounds elegant and frightening at the same time. The mash-up of Boster’s beautiful and powerful voice shows how versatile they are with their work, and the constant changes in the vocal performance make this composition sound more real and exciting to listen to.
Now, a hard-hitting number is “Empty The Chamber.” What is great about it is how the dynamic instrumentation creates an in-your-face vibe that matches the pace of the verbal rage from Boster. Right off the bat, people will be lashed with deep and jolting guitar riffs and drum beats that bring a strong feeling of heavy metal and death metal music, while the vocal screams out the angry lyrics.
Another smashing ditty is “Heaven Departs” and as a whole, the harmonic parts give the number a sense of endless wonderment before Boster starts yelling out the relatable lyrics, and the instrumentation sizzles the atmosphere with earth-shattering noises. The mix of harmony and metal brings the feeling of the band battling their inner as well as the world’s demons.
Flesh Stays Together bleeds humanity because some people can find themselves in the music, and this album also proves how Dying Wish is still capable of creating successful tunes that match our lives and the society we live in.
