After four guitar-oriented albums and EPs, P.H.O.B.O.S. have left strings instruments aside for this time... but this is still uneasy listening. The tracks were born out of analogue devices manipulation and recorded during live sessions. By melting various elements of extreme electronica, black industrial, techno and dark dub, "Bleaker Beater" perpetuates the exploration by P.H.O.B.O.S. of unconventional sonic territories, framed by blood and myocardic troubles thematics.

Formed by Frédéric Sacri in 2000, P.H.O.B.O.S. have journeyed from their industrial roots to more encompassing sounds, still informed by the previous endeavors into black metal/industrial hellscapes, much in the way of Scorn, Godflesh, or Autechre.

CD1 contains the "Bleaker Beater" album, while CD2, "Blxykxr Bxytxr", is the instrumental counterpart of the main album, altered and re-arranged by Sacri at Sapel Lomor, and exclusive to this 2CD edition.

"Percussion passages together with the global, hostile atmosphere evoke to me the magic universe of SPK... great Industrial driven composition. It reminds me of legendary Industrial projects, but with an extra contemporary touch on top. This is a judicious mix between retro-Industrial elements, Power-Noise and Experimental music" (Side-Line).
