German death metal veterans FLESHCRAWL have unveiled their new single and music video „Embers Of Wrath“, offering a melodic yet crushing preview of their forthcoming tenth studio album. Titled Epitome of Carnage, the record is set for release on June 12, 2026, via Distortion Music Group, powered by Reigning Phoenix Music.German death metal quintet FLESHCRAWL have returned with „Embers Of Wrath“, the latest single and accompanying music video from their highly anticipated tenth studio album, Epitome of Carnage, due June 12, 2026, via Distortion Music Group, powered by Reigning Phoenix Music.
Centered thematically on the needless bloodshed, horror, and suffering of warfare, the track offers a deliberate counterpoint to the relentless brutality that defines much of the album’s twelve-song tracklist. FLESHCRAWL describe the single as a mid-tempo, melodic outlier within an otherwise ferocious collection, one that still carries the signature DNA the band has cultivated across more than three decades.
That sonic identity runs deep. FLESHCRAWL have long been recognized for blending Gothenburg-style melodic sensibilities with the raw, chainsaw-edged HM-2 guitar sound, and „Embers Of Wrath“ pays conscious homage to that tradition. The band have stated that preserving this element remains as important to their present and future work as it was during their formative years.
Epitome of Carnage arrives seven years after 2019’s Into the Catacombs of Flesh and marks a significant chapter in the band’s history. Following the passing of long-time vocalist Sven „Svenson“ Gross in June 2021, FLESHCRAWL regrouped with new frontman Borisz Sarafutgyinov and a revitalized guitar lineup, channeling their grief and determination into the most ambitious record of their career. With twelve tracks built on explosive riffs, unrelenting speed, and calculated melodic depth, Epitome of Carnage stands as a testament to FLESHCRAWL’s unwavering commitment to the genre.
