  • Sean Mcculloch – Lead Vocals Daniel Gailey – Guitar, Backing Vocals Bryce Kelly – Bass, Backing Vocals Lee Humarian – Drums
    Sean McCulloch – Lead Vocals Daniel Gailey – Guitar, Backing Vocals Bryce Kelly – Bass, Backing Vocals Lee Humarian – Drums Utter and complete reinvention isn’t the only way to destroy boundaries. Oftentimes, the most invigorating renewal in any particular community comes not from a generation’s desperate search for some sort of unrealized frontier, but from a reverence for the strength of its foundation. The steadfast metal fury of PHINEHAS is focused, deliberate, and unashamed. Across three albums and two EPs, the Southern California quartet has proven to be both herald of the genre’s future and keeper of its glorious past. The New Wave Of American Metal defined by the likes of As I Lay Dying, Shadows Fall, Unearth, All That Remains, Bleeding Through, and likeminded bands on the Ozzfest stage and on the covers of heavy metal publications has found a new heir in PHINEHAS. Even as the NWOAM owed a sizeable debt to Europe’s At The Gates and In Flames and North America’s Integrity and Coalesce, PHINEHAS grab the torch from the generation just before them. The four men of mayhem find themselves increasingly celebrated by fans, critics, and contemporaries, due to their pulse-pounding brutality. Make no mistake: PHINEHAS is not a simple throwback. PHINEHAS is a distillation of everything that has made the genre great since bands first discovered the brilliant results of combining heavy metal’s technical skill with hardcore punk’s impassioned fury. SEAN MCCULLOCH has poured his heart out through his throat with decisive power, honest reflections on faith and doubt, and down-to-earth charm since 2007.

Soon after, scraping together enough money from digital sales of PANGAEA, the band shot their first ever music video for ‘Cryomancer’. Once ‘Cryomancer’ went viral it spread like wildfire, garnering thousands of views within the first few weeks of its release and accumulating over 1.25 million YouTube views to date. The viral success of the ‘Cryomancer’ video immediately caught the attention of Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed, Jasta, Kingdom of Sorrow) and Stillborn Records. Shortly thereafter, DEFILER vocalist Jake Pelzl and Jasta started working together on re-issuing PANGAEA as a physical CD for the first time ever. Due to popular demand, Stillborn Records is now fast tracking the re-issue of PANGAEA and making it available for a limited time as a CD/T-shirt bundle. The re-issue PANGAEA was remixed/re-masterd by Zeuss (Hatebreed, Shadows Fall, Emmure, Chimaira) also includes ‘Wild Wasteland’, a never before released bonus studio track. The PANGAEA re-issue will also include new artwork designed by Mike D from Darkicon Design (Killswitch Engage). DEFILER recently signed a new record deal (with a new label home) with additional details are set to be announced shortly.

    GRADUATION 2015 Presentation speech for Bernie Marsden for the honorary degree of Master of Arts of the University honoris causa Chancellor, over the centuries, Buckingham has been the birth place of many famous people. The list is remarkably wide ranging and includes the actress Gillian Blake, the theologian William Goode, the cricketer Wyndham Hazleton, the politician Francis Ingoldsby, the architect George Gilbert Scott and the speed skater John Tipper. Today, however, there can be little doubt that the best known of all is our honorand - the rock and blues singer and guitarist, Bernie Marsden. To most people in Buckingham, Bernie Marsden is synonymous with Whitesnake, the hard rock band he joined in 1978, playing on eight albums, from Snakebite to Saints and Sinners. He wrote or co-wrote many of the group’s hit songs, such as Here I Go Again. Following his departure from Whitesnake, he formed a new band which later became Bernie Marsden’s Alaska, which released two rock albums, Heart of the Storm and The Pack. More recently, he has been involved in some unusual projects, notably two engagements at the National Theatre for Nickolas Hytner’s productions of Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale and Henry V. In 2012, he performed at the premier of Rock of Ages, starring Tom Cruise and featuring the Whitesnake hit ‘Here I Go again on my Own.’ He has also produced a blues documentary, A Day in the Delta. Bernie Marsden’s new album, ‘Shine’ was released in August 2014, reaching the number 1 spot on the iTunes blues chart.
