A Lancashire based quartet, Consecrated Flesh is a project that has taken much time and planning to come to fruition. With influences that range from bands like Immortal and 1349 to Rush and Pink Floyd, this particular brand of metal will excite those with a liking for extreme speed, melancholic melodies, and intense riffing.
