Philippe Petit - Back to the Beat - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

ANYONE THAT'S KEPT HALF AN EAR TO THE EXTREME METAL UNDERGROUND DURING THE PAST THREE DECADES SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH DRUMMING PHANTOM LORD PERRA KARLSSON. From his humble beginnings in Wortox/Altar via early standout bands like Suffer and Nasum to showcasing his unique drumming in legendary acts like Nominon, In Aeternum, Benediction and Deströyer 666 and also lending his blasting skills to newer acts like Kvaen, Devil's Force and AngelBlast the list of his contributions to metal seems almost endless. After a lifetime spent in the underground with a never fading dedication to the craft of metal his name has become synonymous with hard work and a true love for all things metal. Frustrated over the lack of activity in his current regular bands at the time, Perra used his discontent to fuel the fire of creativity and as a result InchUnderdogInch was born. To realise this monster of an album the drum-lord extraordinaire issued a call to arms that was answered by a squadron of legends from the metal underground seldom gathered on one record. With stand-out performances from the likes of Marc Grewe (Morgoth, Insidious Disease), Hellbutcher (Nifelheim), John Zwetsloot (Dissection, Cardinal Sin), Anders Jacobsson (Nasum, Necrony, Axis of Despair), Dave Hunt (Benediction, Anaal Nathrakh), Jörgen Sandström (Grave, Entombed, Torture Division), Simon Wizén (Valkyrja, Die Hard), K.K. Warslut (Deströyer 666, Bestial Warlust) and Gord Gord Olson (Darkened) this beast will not be denied nor disappoint.

Self-titled debut solo album from francophone singer-songwriter Philippe B.

Translating Philippe B's nightbird tendencies, the 14 songs of the album describe the course of a protagonist from the shadows to the light. Spread out over the course of one year, Ornithologie, la nuit accompanies the main character on his search for meaning and daily pleasures in order to achieve healing as the year progresses.
