💀 Flesh Field Resurrects Belief Control with a 2025 Remastered Reissue

The long-dormant U.S. electro-industrial powerhouse Flesh Field has returned once again, unleashing a fully remastered edition of their 2001 classic Belief Control. Released via Metropolis Records on October 31, 2025, this updated version breathes new life into one of the genre’s most influential releases.

🔥 Includes the singles:

Allegiance 2025

The Truth Within

⚙️ A Legacy of Power and Precision

Originally founded in 1996 by Ian Ross in Columbus, Ohio, Flesh Field quickly carved their identity with a fusion of intricate programming, dark symphonic textures, and emotional ferocity. Their debut, Viral Extinction (1999), announced their arrival in the underground, while 2001’s Belief Control took their sound to a new level — merging bombastic orchestration with machine-driven aggression.

The album’s success led to a partnership with Metropolis Records, which handled U.S. distribution for their next full-length, Strain. The record’s expanded instrumentation—featuring layered guitars, choral elements, and thunderous percussion—cemented Flesh Field’s place among industrial music’s elite.

🧠 Silence, Then Rebirth

After nearly two decades of inactivity, Ross reignited Flesh Field with the politically charged 2023 concept album Voice Of The Echo Chamber, followed by the Voice Of Reason EP in 2024. Both releases marked a creative resurgence and paved the way for a comprehensive remaster campaign through Metropolis.

The Belief Control (2025 Edition) follows the June reissue of Viral Extinction, with the full Flesh Field discography set for remastered release in the coming months. Even more thrilling—Ross has confirmed that a brand-new Flesh Field album is nearing completion.

Flesh Field Unveils Remastered Single ‘Allegiance’ Ahead of Belief Control Reissue

The US electro-industrial act Flesh Field, led by founder Ian Ross, has just released a new single, “Allegiance.” This 2025 remastered version of the song is a taste of the forthcoming reissue of the group’s second album, Belief Control, which is set for release on October 31, 2025, via Metropolis Records.

This remastered version of “Allegiance” continues the momentum of Flesh Field’s resurrection. The group returned to the scene in 2023 with the new album Voice Of The Echo Chamber, followed by the Voice Of Reason EP in early 2024. In June 2025, they reissued a remastered version of their 1999 debut, Viral Extinction, as part of Metropolis Records’ plan to re-release the entire back catalog.

Originally released in 2001, Belief Control solidified Flesh Field’s status in the electro-industrial scene with its bombastic symphonic elements and intricate programming. After a hiatus that lasted nearly two decades, the band’s music remained relevant, appearing in TV shows like True Blood and video games like Project Gotham Racing.

👁 Flesh Field: Reawakened and Reforged

Formed by Ian Ross in Columbus, Ohio in 1996, Flesh Field erupted onto the scene with an aggressive yet orchestrally grand vision of electro-industrial. Their debut, Viral Extinction, quickly earned attention for its layered textures and dramatic sonic architecture—setting a benchmark for dark electronic music at the turn of the millennium.

After releasing the Redemption remix EP in 2000 and the critically lauded albums Belief Control (2001) and Strain (2004), the project went silent. Despite that, Flesh Field’s music endured—appearing in the soundtracks of True Blood, The Mill, and Project Gotham Racing.

Ross eventually reemerged in 2023 with the concept album Voice of the Echo Chamber, examining the psychology of political radicalization. A companion EP, Voice of Reason, followed in 2024.

Now, 25 years after its initial release, Viral Extinction is reborn—remastered and once again relevant in a world teetering on its own digital precipice.

FLESH FIELD, the acclaimed electro-industrial project led by Ian Ross, has just released a new single, “Where Angels Go To Die,” out today, May 30th. This track is lifted from a remastered reissue of their 1999 debut album, “Viral Extinction,” which is set to arrive on June 27th via Metropolis Records.

“It was written in apocalyptic language as a bleak reflection on disillusionment, spiritual decay and loss of belief,” Ross reflects. “Musically, however, it was designed to sound darkly angelic.”

About FLESH FIELD:

Flesh Field was founded in Ohio in the mid-90s by composer Ian Ross. Renowned for its widescreen cinematic sound achieved by blending synths, percussion, guitar, and sampled choir, the group’s music soon earned plaudits for its aggressive approach and subsequently featured in a number of film/TV soundtracks and video games. Having retired the name in 2011, Ross eventually relocated to Virginia, where he resurrected Flesh Field to issue an album entitled ‘Voice of the Echo Chamber’ in late 2023 and the companion piece ‘Voice Of Reason’ EP in April 2024.

Their debut album, ‘Viral Extinction’, was released three years later, earning glowing reviews for its brutal and aggressive sound, while some of its songs were subsequently remixed by several contemporaries (including scene leaders Covenant) and issued together with some new songs on the album-length ‘Redemption’ EP in 2000.

Highlighting the band’s compositional skills with bombastic symphonic elements and intricate synth and percussion programming, 2001’s ‘Belief Control’ solidified Flesh Field’s status as a band to be reckoned with. It also led to the group signing to Metropolis Records for the US release of their third album, ‘Strain’. With new layers of acoustic and electronic percussion, guitar, and choral effects added into the mix, these elements resulted in an an epic and anthemic feel to a record that was acclaimed by fans and critics alike.

Then, silence. For almost two decades, Flesh Field lay dormant, even as numerous tracks from their catalog were placed in the soundtracks of films including ‘The Mill’, TV shows such as ‘True Blood’, and video games like ‘Project Gotham Racing’. ‘Voice Of The Echo Chamber’ suddenly appeared in 2023; a concept work with each of its ten tracks representing stages of political radicalization and violence, it was followed by an album length companion piece EP entitled ‘Voice Of Reason’.
