Phil Gresik, solo songwriter & former member of Deströyer 666, has been instrumental in a number of Australia's finest Metal Supergroups: Hobbs' Angel Of Death, Bestial Warlust, Mass Confusion, etc.

After the positive response to his self-titled debut & follow-up, Gresik entered Tony Nesci's studio (Adelaide) to create his 3rd opus, titled Close To Animal. This third journey is an eclectic release, which is unified by a continual excellence. Brooding atmospheres underpin post-modern Metal arrangements, & with a visionary songwriting craft, these pieces are unique, without sounding foregin to the ear. Once again exhilarating female vocals have been used, creating a fine balance between Gresik's darker & sometimes more somber voice. With the track "Oceans", Phil has written his modern day masterpiece, a must hear!!!

With a masterful production by Adelaide's Tony Nesci who has worked with Mark Of Cain, Henry Rollins & Deströyer 666, Long Voyage Back will appeal most to those after the heavy & progressive sounds of Opeth, In The Woods & Primordial.
