History
Fleshwrought formed when Navene Koperweis teamed up with Nic Gauthier and made a demo at a friend's home. A live lineup followed, consisting of Koperweis, Gauthier, and Chase Fraser, with whom Koperweis had previously played in Animosity. The band played several shows in Santa Cruz, California, but later slowed down due to Animosity's high frequency tour schedule. Koperweis moved to San Francisco and continued writing material with his newly equipped gear, which included seven-string guitars, computers, and recording software.
Koperweis met Jonny Davy (of Job for a Cowboy) while on a tour with Animosity, and invited him to join the band. They started working on material that would become Dementia/Dyslexia. Because Koperweis was living in San Francisco while Davy was living in Phoenix, Arizona, they sent demos to each other via internet, before grouping out again in Koperweis' studio to finish the recording. Dementia/Dyslexia was released in 2010 and received mostly positive reviews.
Influences
The band is influenced by a wide range of musical genres, including electronic, progressive, and experimental music. Some of the bands and artists that influenced Fleshwrought include Necrophagist, Decrepit Birth, Origin, Mats/Morgan Band, Special Defects, Frank Zappa, Squarepusher, Corneilius, and Siriusmo.
