Today, Blood Harvest Records announces
December 17th as the international release date for Phenocryst's striking debut
EP, Explosions, on CD and cassette tape
formats. The 12" vinyl version will follow next year.
Hailing from Portugal, Phenocryst was
formed in early 2020 by D.S. (Archaic Tomb, Summon) and P. Tosher (Extreme
Unction, Scum Liquor, ex-A Tree of Sign), with N. (Summon, Sepulcros,
Concilium) and V.M. (Systemik Violence, Necrobode) joining later on, during the
recording of their debut EP. The band is based in the outskirts of Lisbon, and
the origin of such conjuration is a rigorous consequence of a vibrant underground
activity in the city.
D.S. and P. Tosher wanted to create the foundation of a death metal act
crossing other influences like doom and some psychedelic vibes, to illustrate
soundscapes of disastrous, catastrophic, and annihilating volcanic and natural
events. There are not many artists actually singing about this specific topic,
if any, and therefore, the lyrical content is also something to explore. As
such, the moniker Phenocryst is
fitting.
Aptly titled Explosions, Phenocryst now reveal
their debut recording. Totaling five tracks (one instrumental) over 23
minutes, Explosions unsettles with
preternatural ease, reeking of death stench and obscure delirium. Phenocryst are proudly and
purely death metal, but are emboldened in their liberation to explore within
this rich language: Only Death is Realer.
Indeed, Explosions is an explosive
event, and one which marks Phenocryst's
forthcoming debut album, which is currently being prepared. Take the first step
into their burnt lands...
