NEWS: Phobocosm begin the decent to madness…

Shrouded in artwork by the inimitable Lauri Laaksonen of Desolate Shrine, Convocation, and Pestilent Hex fame, “Foreordained” will complete a trilogy of albums from Montréal Death Metal force Phobocosm as they continue their career-spanning collaboration with Dark Descent Records. A concept album about death, as well as the futility of denying one’s inherent mortality, predestined and inevitable it has been preceded by “Infomorph” with pre-orders for the 8th December drop available over at bandcamp.

Guitarist Samuel Dufour: “When we wrote Deprived, we decided that our first three albums would be a trilogy, so Foreordained is the last chapter of that trilogy. We made a conscious effort to pace all three albums in a similar manner since we wanted them to be linked – starting with a slow, crushing doom song and concluding with a long, epic, depressive one. It’s not a coincidence. Since death is unavoidable, the end of all life and of our planet is also unavoidable, so there are apocalyptic themes also. The closer ‘For an Aeon’ is about a possible way the world as we know it could end”
