French phenomenon P.H.O.B.O.S. are best known for their recent split with Blut Aus Nord, but few know that they've been perfecting this sound of theirs since nearly two decades. It's a commingling of industrial black and doom metal, with a lot of mystique and hallucinatory ambience. It can simply be described as an evil Godflesh.

Dark and hypnotic, P.H.O.B.O.S.'s much awaited full length after their split with Blut Aus Nord and a standalone EP titled 'शà¥à¤®à¤¶à¤¾à¤¨ काली' is genre-bending exercise for the French band. 'Phlogiston Catharsis' contains eight tracks of highly atmospheric industrial-tinged black/doom metal that are both visceral as well as sonically compulsive. These throbbing, sludgy tunes are atavistic in their heaviness but at the same time forward-thinking in their expression. Taking the best elements of black and doom metal, they concoct a form of music that possibly no other band can claim rights to. Their sound is singular, ominous and game-changing. It's the soundtrack of impending doom.
