Band:

Fleshgore

BiografieFleshgore was formed in November 2000 in Kiev, Ukraine. The idea of a band creation belongs to Igor. Original Fleshgore´s lineup was consist of Igor (guitars), Max (drums), Cannibal (vox), Sad (guitars/bass), Alex (bass). Thereto all members played in different bands and had some experience. Very soon were created first few songs and with this stuff Fleshgore appeared on the ukrainian stage and was approved by the audience in February 2001.During rehearsals the musicians were going on to improve their skills. So each subsequent theme became more brutal and skillful than the previous one. By early summer 2001 seven songs was ready and the band was thinking over an idea of a concert activity.

During 2001 year Fleshgore successfully played at various metal shows and festivals in Ukraine. But in late June the band decided to change bass guitarist Alex with Vovan. Unfortunately the end of the year was not so successful as desired. A number of concerts were upset. Moreover no rehearsal facility had been provided for a long time. But as soon as that problem had been solved the musicians tried to repair an omission and to prepare more brutal new songs and changed band style from old-school death metal till brutal death/grind. Since August 2002 Fleshgore had been working on a new material "Killing Absorption" and also on a cover version for "Hammer Smashed Face" (composition of Cannibal Corpse). Besides it was not their first experience with the cover versions, they had already played at the gigs "Raining Blood" by Slayer. By December new 8 things and a new version of the song "Interuterine Dilemms" were prepared. But a few weeks before the show with Damnable(PL) in Kiev Fleshgore´s bass player Vovan left the band. Fortunately a new session bass player Vlad was found very quickly and in December 2002 Fleshgore in a complete lineup played at the concert in Kiev with Damnable from Poland, where the band presented their new songs at first time.


Since begin 2003 the band had been negotiated with the german label Metal Blast Records (MBR). In March the contract between MBR and Fleshgore for release of a new material on CD was signed. By invitation of MBR from 24.03 till 16.04 Fleshgore was in Berlin, where in Domino Studio the new album was recorded. Also 4.04 Fleshgore played a gig with Skinless (USA), The Crown (Sweden), The Monolith Deathcult (Holland) in Knaack Club/Berlin. The debut album was called "Killing Absorption" and out in October 2003. But not under the label of Metal Blast Records. It was self released album. Because unfortunately in summer 2003 MBR became bankrupt and Fleshgore had to break a deal with the label. Also during record session Sad changed guitar on a bass and band decided to play in one guitar. So band stay as quartet.
