Yet another album to add to my "Stoked As Fuck" list; west coast grindcore champions Phobia are set to release their 5th studio full-length, "Remnants Of Filth" on June 5th via Willowtip Records. Ignoring the super "meh" cover art, this album should be a highlight for grind this year. Produced and mixed by Scott Hull at Visceral Sound Studios, and featuring Bryan Fajardo and Dorian Rainwater on their respected instruments, this is sure to be a punishing and unrelenting 19 song-18 minute beast (perfect album length if you ask me). Since this is a Willowtip release though, it might not be getting the vinyl treatment, which is a bummer. But snobby complaints aside, I'm definitely excited, and I don't see how any grind fan wouldn't be as well. Check out a new track from the album, called "Contradiction" below. You can definitely hear some Dorian-style chord riffing near the end!

Excited!
ReplyDeletei'm surprised. their willowtip stuff has never really moved me (as much as it pains me to say so). i really liked their last ep for relapse though. there was the proper blend of bile and clarity to balance it out. hopefully this comes off better than cruel.
ReplyDeletecheck this SCION A/V video out with Shane and this corny chick he sprung from some hot topic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfS-7WasxmY these two killed a 20 year love I've had for grindcore in under three minutes
ReplyDeleteI've seen it. Really? That was the final nail in the coffin for you? What killed it, exactly?
