Album Release – Flesh Reversal by Acidic Male

Flesh Reversal announces Acidic Male’s rise from rot, a rebirth through ritual, driven by tears and agony into enlightenment. Finding joy in reclaiming sexuality through not only Acidic Male’s voice which grieves and avenges, but through an embodiment of a growing flesh-like fantasy character that lures the listener with its singing and noise. Flesh Reversal is about putting an end to shame and celebrating growth, even through the darkest of times.

Acidic Male was always fascinated with Abjection, how attraction and disgust have a common ground, as often exposed within horror films and pornography. When working on sound design for Courtney May Robertson’s prized performance ‘HUNTER’, the two found overlap in interests, as Robertson was making a piece with a love doll identically cloned to herself that analyzed horror. Some of the tracks within this album are a result from the sound design: it inspired Acidic Male deeply and profoundly to continue to make work that is close to the heart: to stay true to oneself, to be intimate and confessional.
