There is a color,
yet unseen.

There is a sea unsailed.
There is a sky,
bursting
awaiting to explode.

There is an essence,
yet uncharted.
There is a soil untrod.
There is a sound,
yet unheard.
A function unthought of.

There is a Void,
yet unperceived.
A Vacuum Invisible.
There is a color,
Slowly morphing.
A chasm unexplored.

There is a colour,
yet unseen.

A few words about DEPHOSPHORUS’ contribution. Our track is called “Unknown To Thee” and its lyrics are taken from Alexander Pope’s “An Essay Of Man” (1734):

All Nature is but Art, unknown to thee;
All chance, direction, which thou canst not see
All discord, harmony not understood,
All partial evil, universal good.

It is the first DEPHOSPHORUS recording to appear featuring our new drummer John Votsis, following the departure of our previous drummer and friend Nikos Megariotis due to an arm injury. Fellow scenester Draenzarth from the local black metal horde END, has contributed providing session bass.

Several years ago a few friends associated with Dephosphorus and Blastbeat Mailmurder/Productions started a music/tech blogzine which didn’t work out like we would have hoped to (most of the team faded at some point  into silence and demotivation). As of today, one of the contributors and longtime comrade/friend, Pascal Cretain decided to post again! Read this fest report and share! Gonzo journalism at its finest!

Those of you who understand spanish should get their copy of Metal Daze magazine issue#4 (March 2013) right about now! It features a comprehensive 3-page feature with Dephosphorus.

“Night Sky Transform” review @ Braindead Zine

(…) Maybe I’m just saying this because of the country that they’re from, but on some level I can’t help but think of a slightly crusty, metalcore influenced grind version of Dead Congregation because of their tri-tone heavy riffs. That’s not a very accurate comparison, but in all honesty I’m stumped as to what bands to really compare this to. Perhaps I would describe it as an incredibly evil version of something like Human Remains (though that’s a stretch) mixed with Dead Congregation, Ulcerate and something like His Hero is Gone or From Ashes Rise. All in all, a damned fine album! (…)

Record Store Day Special Offer – 20% Off in our Online Shop

This is your chance to get a good deal on the Volume 1 Boxset.

Dephosphorus participating in forthcoming Monomaniac vol.2/3 comp.12″EP!!!

MONOMANIAC comp.EP series by Blastbeat Mailmurder

You can find below all the info that is currently available about Monomaniac vol.2/3 comp.12″EP, due out in April via Panos’ label Blastbeat Mailmurder. We are going to contribute with a brand new track!

Monomaniac vol.2/3 is currently under the final phase of preparation. As we speak, mastering is being done by C.Sinclair of Diocletian/Witchrist fame, and Viral Graphics is designing the artwork and layout.

Brace yourselves by streaming right now the opening track, “Transmuting Rituals Of The Absolute” by WITCHRIST, introducing the band’s new vocalist!!!

There’s also been a change of plans concerning the format of the series. Still sticking to the original ~1 minute of music per band concept which is what the Monomaniac series are all about, we felt limited by seveninchers this time, and have therefore decided to opt for the appropriate format according to the needs and shape of each volume. So, instead of a double gatefold 7″, vol.2/3 will be a 12″EP spinning at 45 RPM. 

Please find below the full line-up:

Witchrist (New Zealand),

Weregoat (US),

Mutant Supremacy (USA),

Dephosphorus (Greece),

Gods Of Chaos (Croatia),

End (Greece),

Burial Hordes (Greece),

Ravencult (Greece),

Progress Of Inhumanity (Greece),

Black Hole Of Calcutta (USA),

Dødsferd (Greece),

Nadiwrath (Greece),

Wake (Canada),

Nocturnal Vomit (Greece),

Νecrosadist (Cyprus/UK),

Omega Monolith (Greece),

Skullshitter (USA),

Haapoja (Finland),

Monomakh (Australia).

 


Mega review/interview of the Hell Comes Home vol.1 split-7″ boxset.

Hell-Comes-Home-Vol-1

Mega feature on the Hell Comes Home vol.1 split-7″ boxset that we’ve really been thrilled to be part of, including an interview with the label’s head honcho Joel.

(…) The young Greek band Dephosphorus are trying to see what happens in blending black metal, death metal, post-metal, grind and something else, as one can learn from their own definition of their style, “astrogrind” as well as deduce from their acclaimed production. The amazing track “Stargazing and Violence” starts with a suffocating vortex of unrelenting death metal riffs and strained screams and periodically giving way to “swinging” black metal contaminated by post-metal dissonance and surprising ambience via the insertion of clean vocals.(…)

Ayin’s Razor’s 2012 in Music

I’ve surprised myself by getting into extreme metal again. Well, for the first time really – apart from a teenage interest in Napalm Death and the rest of the Earache roster, I could never really dig the lack of emotional breadth or melody in much grindcore, and hated the overstatement of death metal. All that teenage phase left me with was a deep love for Mick Harris and James Plotkin, as well as a high respect for Godflesh. Really, two bands have sealed my embrace of the dark side this year: Dephosphorus – a Greek “astrogrind” band whose second full-length has garnered rave reviews from around the web. It’s beautiful, both physically for its art and presentation, and aurally. Brutal, abrasive but intelligent; psychedelic and furious, but controlled. There’s been a massive proliferation of screamy, sophisticated-ish black metal awash with blastbeats and all those same chords and sounds – Dephosphorus do something beyond that, and hopefully will continue to push the sound beyond the very narrow furrow it now inhabits.
