'bleaker beater' (2022)

internet and press reviews (selection)

" on this fifth album, the band shreds the psyche without guitars, showcasing dense electronic abstraction that really hurts " - echoes of minority sound

" Bleaker Beater follows a long lineage of electronic bass music, that's just as terrifying as it is pummeling " - metal storm

"Bleaker Beater est de ces rares disques qui vous crament les sinus à les écouter, qui vous donnent envie de déraisonner, dérailler " - satan owes us money

" plus que jamais unique, le projet fait route seul, Bleaker Beater ne s’assimilant à nul autre que lui-même " - thrashocore

'phlogiston catharsis' (2018)

internet and press reviews (selection)

" this is the most relentless, wrong, nightmarish beautiful and intense album of science fiction horror I have heard in an age. Uneasy listening indeed " - ave noctum

" the band's best effort yet. Here the fusion of the three dimensions of their sound (doom, black, and industrial metal) feels tighter than ever " - metal storm

"What Sacri and company have created on this album is a mottled, writhing noise nest of dread with a definitive exigency that belies their prodigious talents " - metal archives

" c'est tout juste si l'on garde l'esprit assez clair pour percuter comment l'album est brillant à la façon presque d'une leçon de metal depuis les origines, jusqu'à ce qui vient après " - satan owes us money

'triunity' (2014)

internet and press reviews (selection)

" both projects have a vastly different approach to what could roughly be lumped into the same genre, and the interplay between the nightmarish darkness and awe-inspiring sonic vistas is sublime. " - the metal observer

" for those who share a great love for experimental black metal, doom, and industrial music, 'triunity' is an intriguing album that provides two exciting tastes of what may lie ahead. " - life is noise

"when taken together, the six tracks on 'triunity' create a terrible oneiric, occult-ish beauty that is so black it shines. " - all music

" p.h.o.b.o.s.‘ side is the more avant-garde and challenging to the listener, akin to the work of blut aus nord, who in turn borrow their counterparts’ drone metal aspects for a heavier sound. " - metal blast

'atonal hypermnesia' (2012)

internet and press reviews (selection)

" bands like P.H.O.B.O.S. bend and twist the genres into a debased, dark mass that stands heads above the crop in terms of originality and exhilaration. " - avant-garde metal

" a very unique and strange heaviness which you're likely to only get from P.H.O.B.O.S. It may be their best record yet. " - equivoke

" this is the most frightening revelation P.H.O.B.O.S. could have provided: total obliteration and replacement of the human on the deepest possible level. " - heathen harvest

" four movements of calculated madness that transcends genres like industrial, doom, and black in almost an hour. " -metal storm

'tectonics' (2005)

internet and press reviews (selection)

" a fusion of filth-ridden doom, pitiless industrialism, and paganistic,
earthshaking convulsions. "
- terrorizer

" 'tectonics' is quite literally the sound of the roman empire slowly rising, marching onward into glory,
and eventually crumbling, all in horrific slo-mo and all simultaneously. "
- metal maniacs

" this machine kills everything. " - digital metal
