Los Angeles Duo Faith In Flesh Inject Chilling EBM and Darkwave into Their Unsettling Video for “Psychodermatology”

Skin sloughed off
Exposed rot
Sickness spied
Wet, weak eyes
Lacerated soul

Psychodermatology is a medical field that studies the connection between the mind and skin, particularly how psychological factors influence skin conditions. It addresses the impact of stress, emotional states, and mental health on skin disorders. Psychodermatology scratches at the boundary between flesh and thought, where skin becomes the stage for a mind’s agony. Here, body horror finds its pulse in the psyche—a taut, twisted cycle of self-doubt trapped in a form that feels foreign, flawed, and resistant.

Los Angeles duo Faith In Flesh brings this vision into chilling clarity with their new single and video, Psychodermatology. Eric Mileham’s synthesizers pulse like a heartbeat, insistent, driving, and alive. Lucas Gonzalez’s baritone croons through a cinematic haze of samples, a lament underscored by shouts, each note infused with relentless intensity. Their sound merges industrial grit with infectious energy, a blend that pulls from darkness but surges forward with purpose. Psychodermatology throbs with visceral truth, a disturbing beauty that’s as much felt as heard, evoking the tension between yearning and flesh, emotion and endurance. This is body music steeped in raw emotion, a testament to the turmoil within.

Psychodermatology delves into self-doubt and bodily discomfort, capturing an agonizing struggle with identity and perception. Through imagery of surgical precision—scalpels, sutures, and exposed wounds—it reveals a relentless inner conflict. With a sense of spiraling despair, it portrays sleepless nights, dancing to numb pain, and grappling with the self, stitched together yet fractured by psycho-physical distress. This track slices through layers of identity and self-image, each scalpel stroke symbolic of an aching wish for escape. Surgery may seek to beautify, but when the brain itself rebels, what mirror could soothe it? An echo persists—”You always want more”—a cruel refrain in an endless waking nightmare.
