Phenomy - Syndicate Of Pain - Reviewed By Metal Digest ! Check it out here at this link: https://metal-digest.com/2022/12/06/phenomy-syndicate-of-pain/
Heavy metal is a worldwide institution, no longer does it just arrive from the usual haunts now, many other countries are staking their claim in the heavy metal landscape. This year has Phenomy returning from Lebanon/Germany for the first time since 2018 with their third studio album ‘Syndicate of Pain’.
As an album, ‘Syndicate of Pain’ battens down the hatches and continues to plough on in the same vein as the band’s previous album ‘T.W.O’. Therefore, what the listener gets here is the Lebanese band doing exactly what they’re good at as thrash power joins barrels forward with a sweeping undercurrent of groove metal and an overarching dynamic of melodic death metal. ‘Syndicate of Pain’ is not an album which fires a scatter shot and hopes something sticks, this is a meticulously planned album where tracks such as ‘Ominous’, ‘The Mute, the Deaf, the Blind’ and ‘Bone Orchid’ drive through a crisp and aesthetically pleasing production which has all the appeal of later Sepultura and In Flames alongside a touch of the technicality of Gojira. However, there are a few moments here that could be trimmed down, cut away a bit of the fat and the instrumental clocking in at eight and half minutes, although technically good, it is rather forgettable.
It is good to have Phenomy back. ‘Syndicate of Pain’ is a solid album; yeah, ok, there’s some moments that could be cut off and not missed, but if you’re looking for a good release, then ‘Syndicate of Pain’ is an album to get your teeth into. - Metal Digest
