Phobocosm

Phobocosm is a Montreal-based death metal band known for their oppressive, atmospheric sound and Lovecraftian themes. Formed in 2012, the group—composed of vocalist/bassist RM, guitarist SD, and drummer MD—quickly carved a niche in the dissonant death metal scene with releases like their crushing 2014 debut *Deprived* and 2016’s *Bringer of Drought*. Their 2020 album *Foreordained* further cemented their reputation for blending cavernous atmospheres with technical precision, earning praise from outlets like Decibel Magazine. While maintaining a mysterious low-profile persona, Phobocosm’s studio work and occasional live appearances (including festival slots) have solidified them as cult favorites among fans of cerebral, unsettling extreme metal. Their collaborations with engineer Colin Marston (Krallice, Gorguts) highlight their commitment to sonic density and otherworldly textures.
