?And France is at it again, making exquisite music. It's not black metal as we've been accustomed to hear from this country throughout the years though. Well, there are some slight black influences but Atonal Hypermnesia is more than that, so much more. In the industrial family, P.H.O.B.O.S. seems to be Blut Aus Nord's cousin and Uncle Godflesh's nephew. He's quite a sophisticated and independent relative though, using some of the mechanical aspects seen in Godflesh but taking away the bludgeoning and aggressive aspect of it in order to have a much colder and indifferent tone. Sounds similar of his compatriots can be heard in the highly dissonant guitars yet again the project's mastermind Frédéric Sacri demonstrates that he's one of the smarter cookies around by taking such sounds and molding them for his own purposes, slowing the riffing to a glacial and agonizing pace.

Take Blut Aus Nord's Procession of the Dead Clowns, slow it down to glacial pace, completely dehumanize guitars, subdue the vocals to the point of non-existence, and add tons of sick reverb. Spice up with dementia and insanity. That's Atonal Hypermnesia for you.

Sounds like a must listen for me since I enjoy Godflesh and Ban to a great extent. Too bad I can not find it on net and cant play youtube properly

This is the sound of an invading mechanical apocalypse.

Finally listened to this. I can't shake the feeling that it could have always been harsher and more crushing. It has huge potential which it doesn't live up to. I do love how it just stops at times, builds up a foreboding, tedious feeling and just breaks into it's usual order of business.

I'm gonna move this discussion to keep it online (since it began in a The Great Old Ones album thread...) Written by tea[m]ster on 23.04.2014 at 19:02 You get a free card for not being into black. P.H.O.B.O.S. is more or less a combination of Black metal (point of reference: Blut Aus Nord), Industrial (a la Godflesh) and some doomy vibe (not gonna call it doom but it does give away some moments in that vein... Specially with the extreme funeral-doom-like slowness). That's about it.

After finally getting around to listening to their other two albums, I've decided that, while I do like their older, more crushing-industrial-doom type sound, I really hope they keep going in this direction, as Atonal Hypermnesia is definitely their best.
