May 15, 2012, 12 years ago
PHILM - the Los Angeles power trio featuring SLAYER's Dave Lombardo, WAR's Pancho Tomaselli and Gerry Nestler of CIVIL DEFIANCE - release their debut album, Harmonic, today, May 15th via Ipecac Recordings. The album is streaming in it's entirety as part of AOL's Full CD Release party at this location.
Free downloads for two tracks from the album are available at the following links: 'Held In Light', 'Area'.
The three-piece have a hometown show/release party scheduled at The Viper Room in L.A. tonight.
"We decided to record Harmonic in the intimate setting of a home, with various vintage recording equipment. " says Lombardo on the band's debut album. "The music was written collectively in an improvisational manner, unlike the majority of recordings I've done before. This was very important given this is my first recording where I'm carrying the title of Producer and performer. The album achieves a dense, unholy convergence of tones and discords. We also touch on haunting, desolate, ambient sounds. Our music tends to be written in a manner where we never know the outcome until we listen back to what we recorded. A Harmonic journey."
A highly anticipated release, Philm officially took form in late 2010 with a handful of tour dates and an early four-song demo that quickly began to make the rounds of in-the-know music critics.
