Phobia - A Piece Of Fear

Review by Domingo García

A Piece of Fear, the latest album by the American grindcore band Phobia, is a relentless assault on the senses. The album features 13 tracks of unrelenting aggression and fury, with blistering guitar riffs, thunderous drumming, and guttural vocals that will leave listeners reeling.

From the opening track, "Dementia Having Overdose," Phobia sets the tone for the album with a frenzied barrage of blast beats and grinding guitars that never lets up. The band's signature blend of punk, metal, and grindcore is on full display throughout the album, with tracks like "Death to False Punks" and "Rape, Pillage, and Destroy" serving as prime examples of their uncompromising sound.

While some tracks on A Piece of Fear may blur together for some listeners, there are standout moments that showcase the band's ability to craft memorable hooks amidst the chaos. "Damaged" features a catchy chorus that will have fans shouting along, while "Dementia Having Overdose" has a guitar riff that will stick in listeners' heads long after the album has ended.

Summary by Domingo García

A Piece of Fear is a solid addition to Phobia's discography and a must-listen for fans of extreme music. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it delivers exactly what fans have come to expect from the band: raw, unbridled aggression that will leave them begging for more.
