Biography:
“Pheromone have been creating music together for close on five years since forming on 10th February 2009. Dissecting music genres they enjoy and incorporated all these elements into their music, what you get is a sound that is both familiar yet very much their own. A fusion that they have worked hard on sharpening.
Having spent those five years learning; sometimes from scratch; new techniques and upgrading instruments and software to facilitate their strengthening talents. They have worked extremely hard on developing their music so that its quality is the best it can be.
With their latest release, November, there are guitar solos and real thumping bass guitar; Crunchy rhythm guitar and synth landscapes. Its hard rock with an electronic heart, or, electronic with a rebels heart. Either way you decide to "pigeon hole", it's a ride that is well worth taking from start to finish; a journey to appreciate.
The band is proud of what they have achieved on the album "November" and look forward to their fans re-actions to the album!”
Imprinting
The rambunctious flanks of rhythm begin their creative magnitude and just as you start to feel the anticipation growing the track comes to its brisk demise. But it sure whets the appetite for wanting to hear more!
Mantra of Fearless
So sharp are the endless jagged notes that scurry about to form an increasingly brutal and savage potency which stirs the emotions in blistering fashion. Bubbling ferociously, with a melodic core it runs through-out its entirety with superb effects on the harsh vocal growls in glitch form - this is something you can really move to!
This Confrontation
Agitated rhythms and notes slip and slide to another rampageous breath. It moves in a predatory stance, scouring its depths as well as soaring to thunderous heights – its attention grabbing and kind of smacks you in the face with a caustic twist of malevolence. Edgy and forthright!
Dreams, Venom and Tears
The arrogant and bold rhythms are infectious, spiced with a potent embrace that is fueled with dark ambiance. The alluring swagger mesmerises and has you hanging off every note!
Dark Horse
The unique blend of sultry and thunderous meet head on in a fueled passionate affair. It sucks you into its deep layers of melodic embrace and is a trigger that sparks a rugged intensity.
Blackout
A slow lustful encounter, slides along a bed of powerful hazy tones and nestles into the ears. Lingering with a feisty rhythmic pulses, and bristles with a dramatic, magnetic pull.
In Your Eyes (Feat Obsidian FX)
Harbouring a deep and riveting persuasion, it climbs to a mesmerising vantage point and hits you with gruff hearty glitching effects. The riffs twist and turn in a circular motion as the beats hit hard and bold.
The Royal Ceremony (Interlude)
On hostile icy terrain the cold drops of haunting melodies swiftly take hold. Capturing pulsating deep beats the rhythmic mischievousness continues. It definitely harvests a regal entrance of sheer elegance on this, an instrumental goody.
“It cocoons you in deep vibrant swathes of rhythm that you can almost wear like a coat that warms as it surrounds you!”
Listen To Aftershock
Hungry for attention this track opens with a concoction of squally notes and tempered rhythms that merge feistily with a super throaty gargling of vocal. Its landscape sizzles with adrenalin as the psychotic tumultuousness fires its rapturous rhythms that are hearty and addictive.
Bloodstone
Clanks into action with jagged notes and powerful rhythms that are backed up with a ferocious vocal slant. So deep the sound it cuts you in half and hosts gnawing, niggling beats that can’t go unnoticed. It literally mauls the senses!
Seems Like
The anticipation is well worth waiting for as the thunderous beats encounter the ears with a magnetic force, expelling a raw seduction that is framed with rhythmic snarls and seething vocal edge that festers.
Lost Memories (Outro)
I am seriously hoping this track lasts a bit longer than the intro! This pulsates and broods with ambiance and passion. The rumbles and grumbles building, sending a chilling flurry of notes cascading down the spine and electric shocks that cause goose bumps to form on the body! Great way to finish a superb album!
Summary:
An extremely intense and powerful album to be had. It literally reaches the places that haven’t been reached in a long time! Sending the senses into panic mode at what they are witnessing. The twists and turns coil like a snake and are then pulverised with a quickening cacophony of rhythms that haunt, tease and seduce.
It really satisfies the hunger and leaves you feeling stuffed to the gills but with a rewarding aftermath, as the rich and promising notes go all-out to provide gripping and intense imagination and awaken the soul with a breath of fresh air!
Coaxing with superb ambiance that feeds the body and it responds positively to the electronic vibrancy and unrestrained melodies contained within its strong sinews.
It cocoons you in deep vibrant swathes of rhythm that you can almost wear like a coat that warms as it surrounds you!
It’s certainly one album that deserves a place in your affections and of course your CD collections.
