Phinehas' self-titled 2009 EP should be removed from The Horde

First Post July 17, 2022 05:56 AM

Phinehas is known for their Christian metalcore sound, and while a couple songs in their debut EP have a bit of melodeath-like instrumentation, the rest isn't really like that. Sean McCulloch's screams have way more of a metalcore feel than death metal. It just doesn't make sense for an EP that is basically a published demo for an early taste of their debut and second EP to have a genre/clan that the latter releases don't. Their Christian melodic metalcore sound has always been dominant, and the melodic death metal influences are only secondary. And yeah, I know there are Christian death metal bands out there, but Phinehas has never explicitly been part of that style. With that, I'd like to submit the 2009 Phinehas EP to the Hall with the proposal of removing it from The Horde while keeping it in The Revolution.
