Fleshart is a brutal death metal and grindcore act from Piraeus, Greece, active since 2020 and delivering punishing extremity from the port city near Athens. The project fuses brutal death metal's low-end assault with grindcore's velocity.

Fleshcrawl formed in Illertissen, Bavaria, Germany in 1987 under the name Morgöth before adopting their current name in 1991 to avoid confusion with the American band of the same name. Signed to Black Mark Production, they debuted with Descend into the Absurd (1992) and released a steady stream of albums across two decades, including Bloodsoul (1996), As Blood Rains from the Sky... We Walk the Path of Endless Fire (2000) — recorded at Studio Fredman in Gothenburg — and the Metal Blade release Soulskinner (2002). After a lengthy pause, the band returned with Into the Catacombs of Flesh (2019), continuing their Scandinavian-influenced death metal approach.
