Phasma Phasmatis

When it comes to emo/screamo or in short "skramz" tunes, I like my stuff raw, emotional, and noisy.Of course the couple of bands that'll probably come to your head is Usurp Synapse, Jeromes Dream, or The Spirit Of Versailles.But there's one band I think that needs a lot of attention and that band is Phasma Phasmatis.Phasma was a 4 piece short lived screamo/hardcore band formed in the fall of 2002 in Oklahoma and disbanded in the summer of 2003.I found out about these guys in the late 2003/2004 on Myspace when I was searching for new hardcore bands to listen to.After listening to their track An Infinite Static Universe I was blown away on how fucking awesome these guys sound! What caught me about this band is how raw the vocal style was.Full of emotion and very high pitched witch reminds of The Spirit Of Versailles.Believe it or not there is a name for this style and people have called it "Kittencore."Phasma Phasmatis toured with She Notes The Chariots and Sine Nomine back when they were active.They only released a demo CD that had five tracks on it.One of the tracks is an instrumental track witch is really fucking good and I still listen to it on repeat to this day.At the time they were selling copies of it on their old website and also included a button when purchased.They also had live tracks on their website labeled "This is what Phasma sounds like on drugs" playing at Springfield Skatepark and had a track of a song I have never heard before called Determine To Spell Potpourri.When they disbanded the members of Phasma went on to start other projects.Singer Chris Stanton started a noise project called Jigsaw Rhetoric (witch is really awesome by the way) Bass player Hank and drummer Pat started a band called The Outer Space, and Stanton said that guitarist Chris Prater still lives in Oklahoma and plays in a church band.Their demo can be found on multiple Blogspot's and on YouTube.There is also a live video of them on YouTube I highly suggest you check out of them playing their song The Prostitutes Brought Me Flowers.Even though Phasma Phasmatis was short lived and only had five tracks to the public, this band is still amazing and still remains the gods of Kittencore on CMHWAK.Give these guys a listen.I promise they will not disappoint.
