Description

Legendary grind merchants PHOBIA are set to scathe the masses with their fifth studio offering, Remnants of Filth, this June. Produced and mixed by Scott Hull (Pig Destroyer, Agoraphobic Nosebleed) at Visceral Sound Studios in Bethesda, Maryland and engineered by Mike Harrison at Winter Skies Productions in San Antonio, Texas, Remnants Of Filth offers up 18 pile-driving, socio-political grind hymns in 19 minutes.  Vocalist Shane "The Pain" Mclachlan comments of the offering: "Remnants Of Filth is a brutal, in-depth grind record that I feel represents what this band is all about, from past to present. This is total brutal grindcore at its best with nothing less than the 100% punk-as-fuck attitude to compliment what this band is all about!


Reviews

Blow The Scene

Northern Cali’s grindcore mainstays, Phobia, offer up another barrage of filthy blast-induced tracks with this latest recorded effort, Remnants of Filth, hitting streets tomorrow (June 5th,2012) via Williowtip Records. Let’s just get this out of the way now- The members of Phobia offer up their patented blend of blast-beats, choppy grind riffs, guttural vocal attacks, and hilarious...Read More

Exclaim!

Cali grindcore veterans Phobia have been at it for two decades, yet they still manage to produce quality albums, and their fifth full-length, Remnants of Filth, is no exception. While it's nothing new from Phobia, in terms of style and sound, it doesn't need to be ? the band know what they do well and they stick to it, which is something to be commended. Featuring 18 crushing tracks in 19 short...Read More

Metal Review

Phobia’s back with another blast of crusty grindcore – it’s what you expect; it’s what you want; it’s what you need. Okay, so maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but still, it’s not too terribly far off track. Half of that statement is unequivocally true – plain and simple facts – and the other half is based on and backed up by some personal...Read More

Sea Of Tranquility

Several years ago, bands like Metallica used to indicate the length of a new release with a certain amount of pride. Load, for example, clocks in at slightly less than eighty minutes, something the very packaging of the CD wouldn't let us forget. Metallica, of course, has fallen on critical hard times of late; in those days, however, there was something exciting about the idea of a long album....Read More

The Metal Observer

There’s Grindcore, and then there’s fucking Grindcore. Around in one incarnation or another since 1990, California’s PHOBIA, ungraciously and undoubtedly, fall into the latter version. Covered in sweat and dirt and just entirely pissed-off, the quintet recently released their latest exercise in no-holds-barred Crust Punk, the 18-track 19-minute-long blitzkrieg known as...Read More

Thrash Head

Grindcore veterans Phobia have been assaulting eardrums for over two decades now, but they sure as fuck haven't lost their edge. Remnants of Filth is slated to hit stores June 5th on Willowtip, and it's pretty much what you'd expect out of a Phobia album. That's a good thing. The bottom line: if you like Phobia, you'll like this album. If you like grindcore, well... then you probably like Phobia,...Read More

Meat Mead Metal

There’s something about grindcore that’s made me a little sleepy the past few years. I think it’s the lack of variety and passion I hear in the younger bands that’s made me pay a little less attention to this subgenre as time has gone by. I used to eat up this style of music, but today, not so much. But again, that’s not because I don’t like the relentless,...Read More
