Phylogeny Interview


1.For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the project?
1: Our project is a studio/home project. We both study in different cities, we are 22 and 23 years old, so we don't have any source of income yet. We do our music just for the love of it. We had a grind band in the past but our drummer had to left, so we decided to make this little project on our own. we've been working for a year

2.How would you describe your musical sound?
2: our musical sound is a mix of influences, completely. From old school death metal to melodic stuff. We are also fanatics of black metal, specially bands like Windir or Dissection, just to mention any. We like contrast in our music, we seek to surprise those who hear our music, without stepping out of a death metal style, that is the unifier element thru all the mix we put in there.

3.Can you tell us a little bit more about the lyrical topics and subjects the band explores with the music?
3: we are still exploring with our lyrics. We plan to create our own Lore, based on our artwork. as an introduction, the pyramid that you see in the back came to that world with a mission, to grab all the alien race from that planet and take them to other places, new and forbidden for them. We are still developing this.

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name 'Phylogeny'?
4: Theres not much inspiration in that. We just looked for a short name that hasnt been taken yet, and that sound death metal enough. We know that its related to evolution of microorganisms, we plan to somehow use this concept in our lyrics as well.

5.Currently there are only 2 members in the band, are you planning on expanding the line up in the future or do you chose to remain a duo?
5: We would love to have a drummer that can play what we program, or something close to that. Unf, that probably won't happen, but if any good drummer is interested on our project, we are open to accept him if he is good enough, and love death/black music.

6.Currently you are unsigned, are you looking for a label or have received any interest?
6: No.

7.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of extreme metal?
7: It has been good so far. We are still expanding, and that takes time

8.Are the band members involved with any other musical project?
8. Polo has a solo project called polis south. Its kind of an electronic/indie music style

9.Where do you see the band heading into musically during the future?
9: No one could guess that...

10.What are some bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?
10: too many bands and influences. tech death bands like spawn of possession or necrophagist, Black bands like dissection or even inmortal, Slam bands...I do love melodic stuff a lot ( Rod ), I love wintersun, Kalmah , and bands like that. So as you can see, we dont have a limit in our tastes.

11.What are some of your non musical interests?
11: Videogames, movies, Law, animals...

12.before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
12: Spread the word of our legend. We need more people to hear us!!
Thanks for the interview. It's been written by Rod.

Phylogeny/Self Titled/2014 EP Review


  Phylogeny  are  a  duo  from  Spain  that  plays  a  very  brutal  and  technical  form  of  blackened  death  metal  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  self  released  and  self  titled  2014  ep.

  The ep  starts  out  with  a  very  heavy  and  melodic  sound  with  some  spoken  samples  before  getting  more  heavy  and  technical  along  with  a  mixture  of  black  and  death  metal  vocals  and  then  the music  gets  more  fast  and  brutal  along  with  programmed  blast  beats  and  the  band  also  brings  in  a  mixture  of  technical,  mid  paced  and  fast  parts.

  After  awhile  all  of  the musical  instruments  start  sonnding  very  powerful  as  well  as  bringing  in  deathcore  elements  and  atmospheric  synths  while  also  remaining  brutal  all  at  the  same  time  and  later  on  experimental  parts  are  added  in  with  the  brutality  this  music  produces  and  for  a  few  seconds  the  keyboards  bring  a  gothic  horror  feeling  to  the  recording  and  the  last  track  has  a  very  dark  and  raw  feeling  to  it  as  well  as  being  all  instrumental.

  With  this  ep  Phylogeny  take  a  very  brutal  and  technical  form  of  death  metal  and  mix  it  in  with  a  good  amount  of  black  metal  influence  along  with  some  melody  and  atmospheric  sounds  as  well  as  having  a  very  professional  sounding  production  and  lyrics  that  cover  horror  and  gore  topics.

  In  my  opinion  Phylogeny  are  a  very  great  sounding  technical  and  brutal  blackened  death  metal b and  and  if  you  fan  of  this  musical  genre,  you  should  check  out  this  recording.  RECOMMENDED  TRACK  "Seizure  Of  The  Tremoctopus".  8  out  of  10.
