PeelingFlesh is an American death metal band formed in 2021 from Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Following the disbandment of the deathcore band Strangled, three of its former members–guitarist Mychal Soto, bassist Austin Hirom, and drummer Joe Pelletier–would form PeelingFlesh, alongside guitarist Jason Parrish and vocalist Damonteal Harris. They released their first EP, Slamaholics Mixtape, on September 10, 2021. They followed with Winter Mixtape Promo, released on December 24 that same year.
In 2022, they released an EP titled Human Pudding on June 1. The following year in 2023, they released PF Radio, and soon after signed to Unique Leader Records. Their first major release would be Slamaholics, Vol. 2. in the fall of that year. PeelingFlesh played at Oklahoma Death Fest in 2023, performing alongside Dying Fetus and Cattle Decapitation. [5]
In 2024, to commemorate three years as a band, PeelingFlesh released 3 Year Peeling Spree, which compiled all of their releases up to that point. In September of that year, the band released its first full-length album, titled The G Code. [6]
In late 2024, PeelingFlesh joined Whitechapel and Revocation for the "Death and Decay" North American tour. [7] [8] [9] The following year, they released their second full-length album, PF Radio 2, a follow-up to their EP from 2 years prior.
PeelingFlesh's musical style blends elements of slamming brutal death metal with hardcore influences and the group's songs frequently include samples of hip-hop and Blaxploitation films, resulting in what they refer to as "Slamming Gangster Groove", [10] with lyrical themes including gore, murder, and thuggery.
