VANHELGD: Temple of Phobos

By Sevine E. Levine •
The fourth album from the Swedish masters of aversion and forlorn feature an even darker aspect of Death Metal.

The fourth album from the Swedish masters of aversion and forlorn feature an even darker aspect of Death Metal, surpassing what is deemed traditional and into the realms of blackened Doom Metal.

While still firmly locked into that unmistakable VANHELGD sound, it is clear that on Temple Of Phobos they have steered into a much more despondent territory; very reminiscent of the early '90s Doom. VANHELGD have managed to capture the essence and vibe with such perfection on Temple Of Phobos that perhaps this will go down in VANHELGD's history as one their heaviest, gloomiest and blackest record ever.

The album is available on digital, CD, limited edition digipak and vinyl through Dark Descent Records.

"Too many bands today seem to think that piling riffs on one another and throwing in the occasional punched-in technical tidbit makes for a song. It does not. Actual song-writing is an art that make bands rise from the mediocre masses and Vanhelgd has few peers on their pedestal." - DeadRhetoric.com
