Phasma are a duo from Greece that plays a brutal and technical mixture of black, death metal and deathcore and this is a review of their 2025 album "Purgatory" which will be released in February by Transcending Obscurity Records.
A very distorted sound starts off the album before going into a heavier direction which also introduces death metal growls into the music. Black metal screams are also utilized at times while the faster sections of the songs also add in a lot of brutal blast and the recording also h as its technical moments.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while the vocals also get very guttural at times. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they also remain true to a technical style along with the faster riffing also adding in a good amount of tremolo picking, throughout the album you can also hear a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts.
A couple of songs also adds in a small amount of synths and elements of deathcore are also added into the mid tempo sections of the songs along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them, acoustic guitars and clean are also added on the closing track. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover purgatory themes.
In my opinion Phasma are a very great sounding brutal and technical mixture of black, death metal and deathcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUD E "I" and "VI". 8 out of 10.
