Phil Anselmo's EN MINOR To Release Debut Album In September; Pre-Sale Announcement Video Streaming
June 15, 2020, 4 years ago
En Minor, the "depression core" project of Phil Anselmo, will release their debut full-length, When The Cold Truth Has Worn Its Miserable Welcome Out, via Housecore Records (North America) and Season Of Mist (Europe) on September 4. Watch a pre-sale announcement video below.
En Minor has been culminating since Philip H. Anselmo was a child in the French Quarter. The bases of some songs that have now become the En Minor project were written at significant stages in Philip’s life, starting at 9 years old when given his first guitar and no patience to learn other people’s music, started writing his own. Other material from Anselmo’s band of underground lore, Body & Blood, has evolved into En Minor songs. Although Philip is most well known for extreme metal and rock, here we get to hear a softer side of his vocal chords, but lyrically is heavy as anything. Joining forces again with Schteve Taylor, tapping into his side that thrived when he was in Woven Hand and 16 Horsepower; Kevin Bond (Superjoint Ritual) carrying on his old Body & Blood vibe, and an extrememly talented group of seasoned musicians, Anselmo’s En Minor is a blatant change of pace, and we embrace all of the melancholy oddness without compromise.
