““FleischKrieg is a name you better keep in mind; this debut full length sounds like dynamite!… I’m nearly sure this band will rapidly catch the attention of a major label… 8/10 Stars””
““Everything about Fleischkrieg warms my twisted little black heart. This album, man. It has power, it has feeling, it has that indefinable je ne sais quoi that changes a great band into a superb one. 9/10 Stars.””
““Fleischkrieg’s Herzblut is a clear step up in the right direction and leaves you craving for more. Watch out, this band will blow you away!”

FLEISCHKRIEG is the result of a chance encounter between an Uber driver and a drunk passenger partying in Seattle. The driver, Richard Cranor, and the passenger, Thomas Crawford, found themselves kindred spirits through a mutual love of Rammstein and industrial metal. When the opening act dropped out of Thomas’s solo “Ceraphym” show, he invited Richard to perform in their place. Richard agreed with the caveat that Thomas play guitars, and FLEISCHKRIEG was formed.
The group, currently based in L.A., cite Rammstein, DK-Zero, Die Krupps, and Lord of the Lost as musical influences. Their moody electronic sound melds industrial metal with darkwave undertones, creating the genre of “Brutalwave”: a blend of new wave, metal guitars, and crushing industrial dance beats and
vocals. Now with the addition of Nick Mason on Drums and Kaylie Cortez on synth/keyboards, FLEISCHKRIEG’s live shows are a force to be reckoned with.
