Phase Meridian is a progressive sludge metal outfit from Minneapolis, MN. Combining sounds from progressive rock/metal, sludge metal, early metallic hardcore, and death metal; Phase Meridian creates an eclectic and creatively satisfying blend all their own. Fans of Mastodon, Between The Buried And Me, Baroness and King Crimson are sure to find something they enjoy here.
»Egregore« is Phase Meridian’s sophomore album. Forged in the molten core of a dying empire, these songs explore themes of climate grief, protestant death drive, and the capacity for violence that we all share. This project is a physical manifestation of our collective dread. The shape it took is beyond our control.
