Whiteout
The new and already 5th album has been made with even more care and effort. For five months the band and a team consisting of Alexandr Vatagin (Engineer for Kronos Quartett, Pauls Jets, Dives, Electric Indigo), Gerhard Potuznik (GD Luxxe, Mäuse, co-owner of label Angelika Köhlermann, producer of Chicks On Speed), Alexander Lausch (Engineer for Die Buben Im Pelz, Paul Plut, Mynth, The New Mourning) and Tobias Wöhrer (Leyya) was involved in producing, consulting, recording, mixing and mastering.
Remixes were made by Industrial/Dark Ambient icons Brian Williams aka LUSTMORD (Current 93, Nurse With Wound, SPK, Graeme Revell, Terror Against Terror, First Reformed) and JARBOE (The Swans), two musicians who have had a fundamental impact on the band’s work.
For the very first time the coming album will not be published on the own label, but together with Noise Appeal Records. This is a consistent development, as the label owners are old friends from the DIY Punk/Hardcore scene who have also advanced their taste in music significantly.

The artwork was designed using photos by Kurt Prinz. These pictures were partly featured in the book Sezierte Architektur (dissected architecture), which was the initial release of Text/Rahmen publishing house. Again, another connection to Noise Appeal Records and old friends from the scene.

The album was released on digipack-CD, Music Casette and as digital download on January 20 2023. The release party took place on January 20 at RHIZ (Vienna).

Whiteout Remix EP
Phal:Angst’s latest album ‘Whiteout’ has received much praise, and within the following three months three appending remixes of the track ‘What Rests Mute In Bright Corners’ were released. The track has been remixed by befriended Austrian artists.The first remix, which was released at the beginning of April 2023, is by Bernhard Hammer aka BUENOVENTURA, also known as the guitar player in ELEKTRO GUZZI, and is a Tekkno remix. At the beginning of May, this was followed by a remix by Viennese Techno pioneer GERHARD POTUZNIK. His track transformed the song into avant-garde, hypnotic dark pop between TWIN PEAKS gothic and catchy synth hooks that would also do credit to DEPECHE MODE or THE CURE. The grand finale followed in July 2023: LYDIA HAIDER’S “GEBENEDEIT” processed the song into a disturbing and ghost-lighted vision. For Vienna, against Austria!

This EP is a digital release via noiseappeal.com (Single Tracks) or Bandcamp

Phase IV – CD

Phase IV

The album was recorded by Alexandr Vatagin (Valeot Records, Slon, Tupolev, Port Royal, Werner Kitzmüller) who also served as co-producer this time.
It was mastered by Alex Psaroudakis, mastering engineer from Brooklyn/New York, who worked for „Sterling Sound“ (one of the world’s top mastering studios) till 2017 and has been a freelancer since then. He won 3 Latin Grammy Nominations, 1 Goya, Best Jazz LP at the Akademia Music Awards, he worked for BUSTA RHYMES, KALASH, GREEN VALLEY and many others.

Following their release tradition this album also includes some remixes. This time the band managed to make one of their dreams come true and get remixes from artists who have inspired the band substantially.
One is by industrial-metal pioneer JUSTIN BROADRICK (GODFLESH) who also made substantial impacts in grindcore (NAPALM DEATH), post rock (JESU) and experimental hip hop / dubstep (TECHNO ANIMAL). The second one is by WILL BROOKS aka MC DÄLEK from DÄLEK, who revolutionized hip hop by merging it with ambient, noise- & krautrock at the beginning of the millenium.

The album was released on gatefold-double-LP, digipack-CD and as digital download on 28th September 2018. The release party took place a day later at RHIZ (Vienna).
