One of Baltimore's most savage noise crews, The New Flesh have become a powerful exponent of modern day, post-Am Rep heavy skuzz through their assorted cd-r and cd releases, all of which kick serious ass, and the electric filth of their live set. We caught these guys recently at a house show in DC, and it was a glorious frenzy of convulsive sludge rock riffs and unrestrained feedback, band members crawling around each other on the floor, the drummer locking in with a fierce percussive assault that anchored the shitfit of sludgy riffs and endlessly droning chords and barely intelligible, narcoleptic singing. There aren't that many bands around nowadays that channel the type of blown out, brutal amplifier-destroying rock that was pioneered by bands like Cherubs, Unsane, Flipper, and early Nirvana, but New Flesh do and god bless 'em for it, burying killer, catchy hooks in a blast of contempo pigfuck that's shot up with the adrenaline of 80's hardcore.

This newish EP features The New Flesh teaming up with Midwestern vocal/noise fiend Robert Inhuman, who fronts these jams with his unique throat destroying vocals while they tackle a crushing cover of "Punched In The Head" by Drunks With Guns and a new free-noise-rock meltdown that's part Melvins crush, part Dead C hazed chaos on the A-side. The B-side contains "Abyss", which throws a total curveball with a lengthy ambient dose of ultra minimal distortion that could almost pass for a Francisco Lopez piece. Limited edition of 300. Crucial.
