Los Angeles, CA trio Philm has signed with Ipecac Recordings and will release their debut, Harmonic, for the label on May 15, 2012. The band consists of Slayer's Dave Lombardo, War's Pancho Tomaselli, and Civil Defiance's Gerry Nestler. The band originally formed in 2010. Lombardo describes them as follows:
When people hear about my involvement in PHILM, they automatically assume that it will compare to Slayer's sound...They couldn't be more different. I have scaled down my drum set to a four-piece, reminiscent of the drummers from the late '60s that influenced me. Each song is unique in itself, I like to refer to it as "rhythmic emotion" It's almost like taking all the heavy songs of the '60s and bringing that era to a modern plateau, then blending them with the modern trance and psychedelic sounds of today.
