No Corner: ...Spiritflesh, the brainchild of Julian 'Dj October' Raymond-Smith and Boris 'Borai' English, is the culmination of an expansive discography, countless hours of music consumption and detailed collective knowledge.Taking in a host of sounds, from Doom Metal and Drone through to Post-Punk, EBM, Dreader than dread Dub and Techno, Spiritflesh have truly blurred the conventions of their influences and spawned a sonic that is all theirs... spewing and spitting like a skeletal, fog-riddled construct of otherwordly ambience, guttural bassline and rhythm.Dream-like, yet crushingly physical, their sound is a cerebral kind of music that touches, with great conviction, on ideas of life, death and the in-between...
