About: Flamecore’s debut self-titled album is a fierce and emotionally charged statement from a band determined to reshape the boundaries of melodic death metal. Rooted in the genre’s foundations but sharpened with a modern edge, the record blends soaring harmonized leads, thunderous double-kick rhythms, and vocals that shift from guttural roars to anguished screams. The band draws inspiration from the likes of In Flames, Slipknot, and Gojira, channeling that energy into a sound that feels immediate and immersive. The album was recorded across two cities, reflecting Flamecore’s collaborative spirit and DIY ethos: drums and vocals were tracked at Leonidas’ studio in Chania, while guitars and bass were recorded at Stathis’ studio in Athens. Mixing and mastering were handled by John Mor at Apex Soundworks, who brought clarity and weight to the band’s sonic vision. Lyrically, the record explores the friction between inner demons and external pressures, with recurring themes of identity, struggle, and societal decay. |
