Phal:Angst is an Industrial/Post-Rock-Band from Vienna/Austria. They formed in 2006 and are about to release their third album on November 14th 2014.
File between Industrial, EBM, Post-Rock and Doom and bands like Earth, Mogwai, Coil, Front 242 and Neurosis. Industrial/EBM-influenced electronics are accompanied by guitar and vocals, where the latter increasingly explore realms of Pop.
Synths and E-bass form a bass-heavy fundament, forcing the stereo to ventilate. Kaoss-Pad, harp & xylophone serve as additional phonetic elements, resulting in a cinematic dystopia set to push the boundaries of musical extremity.

“Black Country” was recorded by Alexandr Vatagin (Valeot Records, Slon, Tupolev, Port Royal, Werner Kitzmüller) and mastered by Austrian Techno pioneer Patrick Pulsinger.
The stunning artwork was done by Christopher Sturmer (Stirn Prumzer, Atzgerei).

“Black Country” will be released as a gorgeous Double Gatefold Vinyl, Digipack-CD and digitally.
At the same time the 2nd album „Shiver With Cold“ is going to be digitally rereleased, a remastered version of their debut „ для одной руки“ will be released on 21st November and the remix album “Black Country Revisited” (featuring chra, Electric Indigo, David Pfister, Rokko Anal, Tronstoner, Swallowredrain and Bastard Sun) on 28th November.

Releaseparty: 5th December 2014, EKH, Vienna/Austria (w Chra, DJ Rokko Angst, Bastard Sun, David Pfister, Swallowredrain, Tronstoner)

Die seit 2006 existierende Industrial/Post-Rock-Band Phal:Angst aus Wien veröffentlicht mit „Black Country“ ihr bereits drittes Album. Musikalisch ist es zwischen Industrial, EBM, Post-Rock & Doom und Bands wie Earth, Mogwai, Coil, Front242 und Neurosis einzuordnen. Industrial/EBM-lastige Elektronik steht gleichberechtigt neben Gitarre und Vocals, cheap replica watches wobei letztere verstärkt poppige Gefilde erkunden.
Ein basslastiges Fundament aus Synths & E-Bass bringt die Anlage zum Ventilieren. Kaoss-Pad, Harp & Xylophon dienen als zusätzliche klangliche Elemente. Insgesamt ein extrem eigenständiger Mix, der sich am ehesten als cinematographische Dystopie beschreiben lässt.

„Black Country“ wurde von Alexandr Vatagin (Valeot Records, Slon, Tupolev, Port Royal, Werner Kitzmüller) aufgenommen und vom österreichischen Techno-Pionier Patrick Pulsinger gemastert.
Das Artwork erstellte Christopher Sturmer (Stirn Prumzer, Atzgerei).

Es erscheint als aufwendig gestaltete Gatefold-Doppel-LP, Digipack-CD und digital. Zeitgleich wird das 2. Album „Shiver With Cold“ digital rereleased, am 21.11. erscheint die geremasterte Fassung des Debuts „ для одной руки“ und am 28.11. das Remix- Album „Black Country Revisited“ (chra, Electric Indigo, David Pfister, Rokko Anal, Tronstoner, Swallowredrain, Bastard Sun).

Releaseparty: 5.12.’14, EKH, Wien (w Chra, DJ Rokko Angst, Bastard Sun, Swallowredrain, David Pfister, Tronstoner)
