been spinning this fleshwater (vein.fm side project) album over the last couple of days. it's like a grungier version of the softer vein tracks but in general I like this more than vein's melodic stuff (aside from "Funeral Sound." that track is fucking awesome.) I think it's because Marisa is more dynamic in her clean vocals than Anthony is at his (he's a fantastic screamer though, and he delivers some killer screams here as well.)
overall it's an excellent, brooding complement to vein.fm's more explicit viscera. whereas vein is more upfront and confrontational about its musical violence, fleshwater kinda lets its darkness seep through in a more deliberate manner. the threat of it all is implied, while vein.fm is direct in how it aims to hurt you.
it's a tight, sub half-hour record with little fat. I think if you like rock with some edge (but not too much edge) you'll dig this.
