Featuring Eric Forrest (Voidvod, E-Force), Project: Failing Flesh is a 3-piece extreme metal juggernaut that has come up with a most interesting release in a sea of mediocre bands attempting similar types of music.
"A Beautiful Sickness" paints a dark canvas of ever change rhythms and styles. Elements of symphonic and gothic metal intertwine with the extreme metal passages setting chilly, haunting moods that can be described at best as somber. The mix of classical violin and keyboards, organs and pianos with electronic intrudes further lead the band into a territory where the Voivod influence is not so surprising in terms of experimentation.
Their cover of Venom's "Warhead" is a rather "different" twist on the forefathers of black music. I believe they would be impressed with the interpretation. Along with "Dementia Pugilistica" these are the two heaviest, straight-ahead songs on the disc.

| QUOTE: |
| Project: Failing Flesh was formed by a pair of Virginian metallists by the names of Tim Gutierrez and Kevin 131, (the latter of whom has made his mark as a producer and engineer of bands such as While Heaven Wept and Twisted Tower Dire), the duo joined by former Voivod vocalist Eric Forrest to complete the group. The band's debut effort, A Beautiful Sickness, was recorded in 2003 and was released independently by the band in a limited form before Karmageddon Media wisely signed them up and properly released the album in 2004. A Beautiful Sickness is a scorcher, mixing a bit of industrial metal, some mid-paced thrash, some Voivod-style weirdness, unexpected touches such as a twisted violin solo, and more, with a style all their own. Their cover of Venom's "Warhead" is one of the best metal cover songs in some time, but their own material is simply fantastic. A huge recommendation to extreme metal fans. |
