Bliss of Flesh

**Bliss of Flesh** is a punishing French death metal machine that’s been carving its name into the extreme music scene since forming in 2005. Led by vocalist Pierre XO and guitarist Vincent PM, the band blends technical precision with raw brutality, serving up relentless tracks like “Tyrant” and “Empyrean” that showcase their knack for chaotic riffage and guttural intensity. Their 2020 album *Empyrean* solidified their rep for weaving anti-religious and existential themes into their sonic onslaught, while 2016’s *A Shift in the Light* hinted at their experimental edge. Signed to Kaotoxin Records, they’ve shared stages with acts like Benighted, embodying the kind of unhinged energy that leaves audiences (and eardrums) shredded. If you’re into cerebral savagery, these guys deliver.
