Dealing vices and corrupting souls since 1999
Metempsychosis is the most introspective release ever made by the band. Music was written by Sikkardinal in 7 days during a intense period of hatred. The songwriting and arrangements dwell in insanity and torment, directly inspired by our cursed existences.
The full-length album will be out on Swedish label Black Lion Records on November 7th 2025 in Europe and North America.
Metempsychosis is defined by the transmigration of the soul after death from one body to another.
Bliss of Flesh's new opus addresses metempsychosis through the observation of an individual who helplessly witnesses their physical decline via the gradual deterioration of their five senses. This decline inexorably plunges them into a feverish emotional state, propelling an introspective journey through the various stages of loss and grief. Each loss engenders a new perception and a shifting apprehension of the future. They are forced to rediscover an altered body and a world that has become hellish. A mixture of fear and expectation where the life they once knew becomes an endless circle of renewal, culminating in death : a portal to a new existence, each time more destitute and altered.
BLISS OF FLESH’s new album Metempsychosis has been mixed and mastered by Neb Xort at Drudenhaus Studio (France).
The artwork was created by acclaimed Hungarian artist Balázs Jacsó. The centerpiece is a chalice symbolizing the inconscious pact between the Individual and Existence. From birth, we live anathematized until our demise.
" I am the savior of my depression,
I am the destroyer of my faith,
I shall suffer, I shall endure,
That I live in delectation and envy. "
