Greek melodic death metal quintet Flamecore has released the official lyric video for their track “Projected Reality,” featured on their self-titled debut album, Flamecore (out now via Wormholedeath).

“Projected Reality” strikes at the heart of modern existence, exposing a world built on deception, false idols, and relentless struggle. With razor-sharp riffs and unyielding intensity, Flamecore delivers a merciless track that reveals freedom as nothing more than a cage.

About the album:

Flamecore’s debut self-titled album is a fierce and emotionally charged statement from a band determined to reshape the boundaries of melodic death metal. Rooted in the genre’s foundations but sharpened with a modern edge, the record blends soaring harmonized leads, thunderous double-kick rhythms, and vocals that shift from guttural roars to anguished screams. The band draws inspiration from the likes of In Flames, Slipknot, and Gojira, channeling that energy into a sound that feels immediate and immersive.

The album was recorded across two cities, reflecting Flamecore’s collaborative spirit and DIY ethos: drums and vocals were tracked at Leonidas’ studio in Chania, while guitars and bass were recorded at Stathis’ studio in Athens. Mixing and mastering were handled by John Mor at Apex Soundworks, who brought clarity and weight to the band’s sonic vision. Lyrically, the record explores the friction between inner demons and external pressures, with recurring themes of identity, struggle, and societal decay.

Flamecore:

Formed by Stathis Lianos and Leonidas Viglakis, the Greek melodic death metal band Flamecore emerged from a collaborative spark between Chania and Athens. Their journey began with a single riff, which grew into the track “Plains of Nameck.”

This initial creative success led to their self-titled debut album, released in February 2025. With a lineup solidified by the additions of Panagiotis Tsopelas and Akis Blazakis, Flamecore brought their vision of extreme, melodic metal to life. Following the album’s release and a series of live shows, the band is now focused on promoting their work with new bassist Panagiotis Mousouras while composing their next chapter.

Wormholedeath is proud to announce the signing of Flamecore, a rising force in melodic death metal hailing from Chania and Athens, Greece. The label will reissue the band’s ferocious and emotionally charged self-titled debut album, Flamecore.

Blending crushing heaviness with searing melodic passages, Flamecore channels the spirit of modern melodic death metal with a sound that nods to giants like In Flames, Slipknot, and Gojira—while forging their own unmistakable identity.

The band’s journey began when Leonidas Viglakis shared an early riff with Stathis Lianos, a moment that kicked off their creative partnership and led to their first track, ‘Plains of Nameck.’ With the subsequent creation of “Only Waste Remains”, their vision quickly expanded. After assembling a full lineup with Panagiotis Tsopelas and Akis Blazakis, Flamecore came into full form—recording their debut across two cities and solidifying their intense DIY spirit.

With Leonidas handling drums and vocals in Chania and Stathis recording guitars and bass in Athens, the album was brought to life and perfected by John Mor at Apex Soundworks, whose mix delivers both raw power and clarity. The result is an album brimming with thunderous double-kick assaults, harmonized leads, and vocals that rage between guttural aggression and desperate cries.

Lyrically, Flamecore delves into inner conflict, identity struggles, and social disintegration, offering a cathartic experience for fans of emotionally driven extreme metal.

Since their debut, the band has taken to the stage with Iasonas Stefanou joining for live duties, and with new bassist Panagiotis Mousouras now onboard, Flamecore is actively performing and working on new material—staying true to their mission of delivering honest, intense, and uncompromising metal.
