ALTAR OF DESPAIR Summon Chaos With New Single ‘Flesh Puppet’ Featuring Onni Holmström


Finnish deathcore juggernauts ALTAR OF DESPAIR return with terrifying precision on their new single ‘Flesh Puppet’, featuring the crushing vocal presence of Onni Holmström. Taken from the upcoming EP Severance, out October 30, 2025, the track delivers a suffocating wall of brutality — blending razor-sharp riffs, guttural chaos, and unnerving atmosphere into a sound that defines the darker edge of modern deathcore.

‘Flesh Puppet’ unites the band’s signature blend of precision and aggression with Holmström’s unhinged vocal intensity, crafting a monstrous collaboration that feels both chaotic and calculated. The song explores the descent into dehumanization and control, mirrored by suffocating breakdowns and eerie melodic undercurrents that leave no room for reprieve.

The official music video captures the sinister tone of the track with visceral imagery and cinematic brutality, visually amplifying the song’s dark themes of manipulation and decay. Every frame mirrors the band’s unwavering commitment to the extreme — balancing aesthetic darkness with sheer sonic devastation.

With ‘Flesh Puppet’, ALTAR OF DESPAIR continue to carve their legacy within Finland’s ever-rising deathcore movement — a testament to their unmatched aggression, technical mastery, and fearless drive to push the genre further into the abyss.
