PeelingFlesh Announce Self-Titled Album and Fall Tour

Oklahoma City slam band PeelingFlesh will release a new self-titled album this fall. The announcement arrives alongside the lead single, "Murderous Intent," a track featuring guest vocals from Mike Ryan, frontman of New York heavy hardcore band Missing Link. This upcoming release follows the group's 2024 full-length debut, The G Code, and their initial 2021 mixtape, Slamaholics, as detailed by Stereogum.

Frontman Damonteal Harris described the new project in a press release as "an insane mixture of drop G and drop F songs that are some of our favorite and craziest songs we've written to date." The band's musical style incorporates violent speed-chug breakdowns, pig-squeal vocals, and occasional Southern rap samples.

The self-titled record contains 11 tracks and features several collaborations with other artists in the heavy music scene. Sanguisugabogg's Devin Swank appears on "Wig Split," Bayway's JayWay is featured on "Lethal Interjection," Stabbing's Bridget Lynch contributes to "No Alibi," and Extermination Dismemberment guests on "It's Goin Down Part 2." Other tracks on the album include "Crash Out," "T.D.C.U.," "Crackology," "Find Around Fuck Out," "Full Clip," and "〈Bottom Text〉".

PeelingFlesh is part of a recent movement in the hardcore underground embracing death metal and deathcore, alongside acts like Torture, Final Resting Place, Snuffed On Sight, and Fatal Realm. To support the new album, the band will embark on a month-long North American tour starting October 1 at 1720 in Los Angeles and concluding October 30 at Albatross in Jacksonville, Florida.

The tour schedule includes festival stops at Sacramento's Aftershock on October 2 and Fort Worth's Sick New World on October 24, as well as a performance at Denver's Red Rocks on October 11. Other major city stops include Seattle, Chicago, Brooklyn, and Atlanta. Rotating support for the tour features Grounds For Assault, Snuffed On Sight, Mongrel, Gridiron, Flesh, Outta Pocket, Fatal Realm, Final Resting Place, and Two-Piece.
