Phantomsmasher
formerly known as Atomsmasher)
Phantomsmasher
is James Plotkin's latest brain-teaser and arguably
his most ferocious. James teams up with drum-man-chine
DAVE WITTE (Burnt by the Sun, Discordance Axis, Melt
Banana) and voice-ripper/sonic guerilla DJ SPEEDRANCH,
the trio has cast aside the limits of hardcore, electronics,
and rock thus creating an inexplicable force of a sound.
Soar through a windtunnel of guitar while being skinned

being extracted to your harddisk, torn to shreds and
spat back out in the form of metallic digital powder.
Imagine DIY laptop hardcore geeks having convulsions
and vomiting buttermilk. The music is much more appealing
than that. Phantomsmasher is music that makes you feel
excited about the possibilities of a new genetic cross
polinated electronic metal.
