Finnish ambient Doom/Prog/Drone mongers Fleshpress have been making a hell of a noise for nearly a decade and a half now. Their sixth full length studio album, the powerfully named ?Tearing Skyholes? sees the band focused on refining the craft that is as much about generating feeling and atmosphere as it is pummelling the life out of their listeners. Some bands write songs in isolation, each moment a microcosm of what the band is about and some bands write epic length pieces of music, broken up by the inconvenience of tracks and numbers on a CD listing. Fleshpress unsurprisingly fall into the latter camp and don?t put on ?Tearing Skyholes? unless you are prepared to experience the whole vision played out in full to give you the insight as to what the band are trying to achieve with each weighty release. ?Tearing Skyholes? requires patience and a lot of time to listen to. This is akin to looking at an oil painting up closely, examining the brush techniques and surrendering yourself to the journey the band want to take you on, whether it is moments of intense paranoia or sweeping mellow guitar noodling. Fleshpress have been doing this long enough now to find themselves content with their musical approach. If you want to take your time over an album and like your Doom flavoured with subtlety then ?Tearing Skyholes? is a perfect example of a band pushing their art to the extreme.
