Phal:Angst<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

PHAL:ANGST<\/strong> is an industrial (post-) rock band, based in Vienna, Austria. We started in 2006 as a collaboration of the projects PHAL and PROJEKT ANGST. Soon we realized that we wanted to perform as a real band and added a bassplayer. Since then we have played several shows, recorded five albums and a soundtrack. Our fifth album was released in January 2023.<\/p>\n

We did large parts of the soundtrack for the dystopian Berlin indie film “Saila” (Julia Ostertag, 2008), our music was used for Paul Poet’s documentary “Blackout” (2018) and an edition of ORF’s “kulturMontag”. We created special compositions for the festival “Turn On My Theta” curated by Peter Nachtnebel at Fluc Vienna in 2011, a “Rundgang” event at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna in 2017 and the anti-government compilation “Ihr werdet euch noch wundern!” (2018), interpretations of the Velvet Underground for the “Velvet Underground Gala” (Fluc Vienna 2010) and the Beatles for a tribute at the “Shelter” (Vienna 2012).<\/p>\n

If you want us to play your club\/squat\/livingroom\/whatever just drop us an e-mail\u2026<\/p>\n

The band originally started as a trio, but shortly after, Kev joined us as our bassist and stayed until 2015. For the following eight years, Julia, also known as “The Bassenger,” became an integral part of our band, leaving a lasting impact with her unique style. We parted ways with her in May 2024. We are deeply grateful to Julia for her significant contribution during these years. In September 2024, our new bassist Rebecca joined the band, bringing fresh energy to the group.<\/p>\n

Whiteout<\/strong>
\nThe 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<\/i>), Gerhard Potuznik (GD Luxxe, M\u00e4use, <\/i>co-owner of <\/i>label Angelika K\u00f6hlermann, <\/i>producer of Chicks On Speed<\/i>), Alexander Lausch (Engineer for Die Buben Im Pelz, Paul Plut, Mynth, The New Mourning<\/i>) and Tobias W\u00f6hrer (Leyya<\/i>) was involved in producing, consulting, recording, mixing and mastering.
\nRemixes were made by Industrial\/Dark Ambient icons Brian Williams aka LUSTMORD (Current 93, Nurse With Wound, SPK, Graeme Revell, Terror Against Terror, First Reformed<\/i>) and JARBOE (The Swans<\/i>), two musicians who have had a fundamental impact on the band’s work.
\nFor the very first time the coming album will not be published on the own label, but together with Noise Appeal Records<\/i>. 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.<\/p>\n

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

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).<\/p>\n

Whiteout Remix EP<\/strong>
\nPhal:Angst\u2019s latest album \u2018Whiteout\u2019 has received much praise, and within the following three months three appending remixes of the track \u2018What Rests Mute In Bright Corners\u2019 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\u2019S \u201cGEBENEDEIT\u201d processed the song into a disturbing and ghost-lighted vision. For Vienna, against Austria!<\/p>\n

This EP is a digital release via noiseappeal.com<\/a> (Single Tracks) or Bandcamp<\/a><\/p>\n

Phase IV – CD<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Phase IV<\/strong><\/p>\n

The album was recorded by Alexandr Vatagin (Valeot Records, Slon, Tupolev, Port Royal, Werner Kitzmu\u0308ller) who also served as co-producer this time.
\nIt was mastered by Alex Psaroudakis, mastering engineer from Brooklyn\/New York, who worked for \u201eSterling Sound\u201c (one of the world\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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.
\nOne 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 DA\u0308LEK from DA\u0308LEK, who revolutionized hip hop by merging it with ambient, noise- & krautrock at the beginning of the millenium.<\/p>\n

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).<\/p>\n
