“A vicious wake-up call”: Dying Wish announce new album, Flesh Stays Together

Dying Wish have just announced their new album, Flesh Stays Together.

Vocalist Emma Boster reveals that the record – which follows 2023’s Symptoms Of Survival, and is due out on September 26 via SharpTone – is “a discovery, a journey of grief and a statement. Together we face the most unacceptable conditions in our lifetimes. Every tragedy becomes our own yet we have never been more separated. Flesh is a vicious wake-up call. Slowly and painfully we approach the end we deserve.”

The band have unleashed new single I’ll Know You’re Not Around to coincide with the announcement, with Emma explaining that, “The song expresses weakness and deep regret when faced with the ongoing pain on the surface of our dependency with one another. The unavoidable conflict, betrayal and abandonment that lie within the cracks of our society. An acceptance of grief.”

“It opens up where this band can go and how vulnerable things can be,” adds guitarist Pedro Carrillo. “Whether it is by our own accord or not, life is both vulnerable and artistic. Even in the most confusing of times.”
