Leaden Fumes is a down-tuned heavy doom band arisen from the ashes of Phased, the cult stoner-doom band singer and bassist Christian S formed way back in 1997. Phased, Switzerland’s first stoner band and the only Swiss band to sign to Elektrohasch, released four acclaimed albums between 2001 & 2016 and played Stoned From The Underground, Up In Smoke, Rock Altitude and other festivals supporting bands such as: Neurosis, Mastodon, High On Fire, Spirit Caravan, Orange Goblin, etc.

With Leaden Fumes, two members of that group reconvene to wreak fresh mayhem. Switching from guitar to bass, Christian S is giving Leaden Fumes the ultra low-end spark, while guitarist Florian S is responsible for the spacey high-end part and drummer Jonathan S completes the line-up as the master of tricky wicked rhythms.
