Fleshwrought (formerly known as Fleshrot) is an American technical death metal band formed in 2003 by Navene Koperweis.

[1] Fleshwrought formed when Navene Koperweis teamed up with Nic Gauthier and made a demo at a friend's home.

The band played several shows in Santa Cruz, California, but later slowed down due to Animosity's high frequency tour schedule.

Koperweis moved to San Francisco and continued writing material with his newly equipped gear, which included seven-string guitars, computers, and recording software.

[4] Koperweis met Jonny Davy (of Job for a Cowboy) while on a tour with Animosity, and invited him to join the band.
