History

Rian Miller joined the band in 1997 to contribute female vocals. The band's debut album, Viral Extinction, peaked at #18 on the CMJ RPM Charts in the U.S.[1] and ranked #31 on the German Alternative Charts (DAC) Top 50 Albums of year 2000.[2] The followup EP, Redemption, peaked at #12 on the CMJ RPM Charts.[3]

In 2004, Rian was replaced by another female vocalist, Wendy Yanko. Their 2004 album Strain peaked at number 4 on the 2005 DAC,[4] charting for 8 weeks. In 2005, Flesh Field performed at the M'era Luna Festival in Hildesheim, Germany.

In January 2011, Ian Ross pronounced the retirement of Flesh Field as a musical project. Ian went on to further say that he will continue to make music, and that he is considering a new project. Seven of the instrumentals for "Tyranny of the Majority" were released on the official Flesh Field website mastered along with two additional untitled instrumentals that were cut from the album. Two of the album's tracks, "Swarm" and "Forgotten Trauma" can be found on the albums, Dependence: Next Level Electronics: Volume 2 and Septic VI respectively.

Flesh Field's track "Beneath Contempt" appeared in season 5, episode 8 of the HBO show True Blood.

On August 24, 2023, Metropolis Records announced a new album from the band along with a 36 second teaser.[5] Flesh Field released the album Voice of the Echo Chamber on November 3, 2023, and the album Voice of Reason on April 26, 2024.[6]
