Cool Songs: A Beautiful Sickness, 9mm Movie, Highwire Act

PROJECT: FAILING FLESH is an awesome new three piece band out of Virginia. “A Beautiful Sickness” is their impressive debut released in North America through Candlelight Records. It opens with the title track and jumps out at you in Fear Factory fashion and the second track “Planet Dead” will assure you that you won't be popping this out of the cd player any time soon.
Project: Failing Flesh was created by instrumentalist/producer Kevin 131 and guitarist Tim Gutierrez (E-Force), and with the addition of vocalist/bassist Eric Forrest (Voivod, E-Force) has really become a force to be reckoned with. Their sound is distinct, as can be heard on the third track “9mm Movie”, with a slow pounding heavy guitar beat along with an assortment of keyboards and strings that are put together brilliantly with Eric's vocals. “Scene of the Crime” follows, again in a Fear Factory heavy style, with crushing guitar chops and soothing synthesizers. The heavy pounding continues through “Entrance Wound” and “Long Silent Voices.” The speed picks up for “Dementia Pugilistica,” taking on a more Ministry type sound, showing that the band can stay tight while revving up and “Taste of the Lie” keeps it hard and heavy. “Highwire Act” is my favorite track, starting out with some crushing drums and trading guitar chops for some good rhythm, then switching back. They end this baby, fittingly, with a cover of Venom's classic “Warhead.” Awesome!!
