Chicago-based blackened-death entity MARROWOMB has shared the newest single off its upcoming its debut album, Phisenomie.

MARROWOMB and Decibel Magazine present the exclusive premiere of album opener “Phantasia Kataleptike.”

“I chose Phantasia Kataleptike as the opening track for the album due to its speed, simplistic flow, and memorability,” comments MARROWOMB’s Frank Lato. “The main lyrical themes revolve around the duality of self and how one can struggle with two (or even multiple) ways to present oneself outwardly. And in that struggle, it can sometimes be hard to know which one feels the most authentic. This ties into the overarching theme of the album.

Listen to “Phantasia Kataleptike” at this location.

Over five years in the making, Phisenomie is the brain spawn of multi-instrumentalist Frank Lato and features drums by renowned session drummer Kevin Paradis (ex-Benighted).

Featuring eight meticulously crafted tracks, Phisenomie delivers an unrelenting experience that blurs the boundaries between extreme and experimental. Each song provides a labyrinth of ferocious riffs and punishing rhythms, showcasing Lato’s visionary approach to composition. Phisenomie immerses listeners in a soundscape that is both savage and cerebral. This debut offering is more than just an album—it is a journey through the depths of the human psyche, where chaos and catharsis converge.

Phisenomie is due out on February 21, 2025. Pre-order the album at marrowomb.bandcamp.com/album/phisenomie.

MARROWOMB is a blackened death metal project formed from the ashes of former Chicago-based bands Polyptych and Endmember in 2020. Spearheaded by mastermind Frank Lato, the artistry of MARROWOMB knows no bounds and takes an uncompromising approach to songwriting. The project takes its influences from various sources; however, the prominent focus is centered on internal conflict and struggle.

MARROWOMB opts for a simplistic approach to its lyrical content and concepts; however, this is not a surface-level entity. For those who choose to venture beyond the surface, there are rewards to seeking out additional truths, messages, and meanings within the music.
