Dying Wish have just announced the forthcoming release of their third studio album. Entitled Flesh Stays Together, the 10-track collection was produced by Will Putney (Knocked Loose, Body Count), who also oversaw the Portland, Oregon metalcore band's 2023 LP, Symptoms of Survival.
“Flesh Stays Together is a discovery, a journey of grief and a statement," says Dying Wish vocalist Emma Boster, "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.”
Along with the album news, Dying Wish have also shared the music video for its first single, “I’ll Know You’re Not Around.” The clip was co-directed by Eric Richter and the band’s own guitarist, Pedro Carrillo:
“The song expresses weakness and deep regret when faced with the ongoing pain on the surface of our dependency with one another," Emma says about the single. "The unavoidable conflict, betrayal and abandonment that lie within the cracks of our society. An acceptance of grief."
Carrillo added, “It opens up where this band can go and how vulnerable things can be. Whether it is by our own accord or not, life is both vulnerable and artistic. Even in the most confusing of times.”
Dying Wish headline tour dates in support of Flesh Stays Together will be announced in the coming days. For now, the band is gearing up to go out on a run of US dates in support of Poppy alongside MSPAINT. The trek launches on September 12th in Cincinnati, Ohio, and will also include festival performances at Louder Than Life (September 21st) and Aftershock (October 4th).
Following that, Dying Wish will then head overseas for a European tour supporting Malevolence with Speed and Psycho-Frame set to kick off on October 27th in Paris, France. You can check out all of the announced tour dates below.
