Philm – “Area” [Free Song Download]

As far as side bands and side projects go, it doesn’t get much bigger or better than Philm. Slayer drummer Phil Lombardo started a new group that you might be a little surprised by. You’d think that a band started by a member of Slayer would sound similar to the classic metal vibes of that revolutionary band, but Lombardo has decided to really change things up. He’s scaled down his massive drumset to a simple four-piece reminiscent of drummers from the 1960s. Lombardo has likened the sound of Philm to taking all the heavy songs from the 1960s, bringing that era to modern times and mixing them up with the trance and psychedelic sounds of today.

The Skinny: As far as side bands and side projects go, it doesn’t get much bigger or better than Philm. Slayer drummer Phil Lombardo started a new group that you might be a little surprised by. You’d think that a band started by a member of Slayer would sound similar to the classic metal vibes of that revolutionary band, but Lombardo has decided to really change things up.

Lombardo has likened the sound of Philm to taking all the heavy songs from the 1960s, bringing that era to modern times and mixing them up with the trance and psychedelic sounds of today.

Philm’s lineup is rounded out by bassist Pancho Tomaselli, long-time member of War, and singer guitarist Gerry Nestler who is also the frontman of progressive metal band Civil Defiance. Together the trio has written and recorded their debut record Harmonic which is set for release on May 15th. The very same night Philm will play a massive CD release show at the Viper Room in Hollywood. From the debut album Harmonic we’re pleased to present you with this free download of “Area”.
