Phoebus cartel band biography

During a global pandemic, it’s important to remember two things: Wash your hands and be productive. With the rapid spread of COVID, the world found itself having to press pause. Slowly, we found out what it’s like to be on house arrest without knowing when life would go back to normal. Obviously, the state of current affairs isn’t ideal, but as a global collective, we’ve all been given a priceless resource: time.

For some, &#;time&#; might look like &#;binge-watching Tiger King in one day.&#; For Greg Ellis, a.k.a the Lazer Shark, it’s given him the time to dive deep into projects and push the creative bounds even further. This has allowed him to fully embrace his latest project, a series of live streams that will pay tribute to the musicians that inspired him dubbed, Modern Mythology.

&#;As a lighting designer, we don’t really have the luxury of sharing who inspired us the same way our musician brethren do,&#; Ellis explains to Live For Live Music. &#;This is a way for me to cover my favorite artists. It’s a love letter, it’s to the music I’ve grown up on and been inspired by.&#;

Within the realms of Greek Mythology, there are 12 gods of all power and ability. So the story goes, Zeus, the ruler of the gods, once slept with the Titaness Mnemosyne for nine nights and she, in turn, gave birth to nine muses:

1. Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry
2. Clio, the Muse of history
3. Erato, the Muse of lyric poetry
4. Euterpe, the Muse of nature
5. Melpomene, the Muse of tragedy
6. Polyhymnia, the Muse of hymns
7. Terpsichore, the Muse of dance and chorus
8. Thalia, the Muse of comedy and idyllic poetry
9. Urania, the Muse of astronomy

It was Ellis’ goal was to take his list of musical icons and match them with their respective muse. Once that was figured out, he would livestream a set or live performance of that artist—but with a twist. He w

Phoebus Cartel

The Ishihara Method EP

Written by: LF on 01/10/

The progressive and heavy rock band Phoebus Cartel from Esbjerg, Denmark are one of the more intriguing upcoming bands currently. I was turned on to their music by witnessing a couple of their live performances in the spring which were equal parts explosive and atmospheric, making for a very immersive total experience. This is only enhanced by the fact that they are also a band with a message. They take their name from a cartel that was meant to control the manufacture and sale of light bulbs, and the EP itself takes its name from a common test for color blindness. This framing of the music over a theme of vision and corporate conspiracy is further developed in the at times sinister and political, at times dreamy and abstract lyrics, creating a whole universe in the music to lose yourself in. On this self-released EP they have managed to convey this message, while creating a progressive hard rock sound that is clearly inspired by the music of bands like A Perfect Circle and Tool, while also being very much their own.

Most songs of the EP are longer than five minutes, marking Phoebus Cartel as a band that take their time with building up moods. Every song has an intelligent song structure and stays interesting for its entire duration, and that is indeed no small feat on a debut recording like this. The band members successfully develop each song, letting it go through what feels like different phases, while mostly maintaining verse-chorus structures with the occasional very catchy melodies. Furthermore, every member of the band has obvious skill with his instrument, combining varied drumming with gripping and technical guitar work across songs. The entire EP thus consists of solid material, and while the second song, "Life In Treason", with its explosive chorus was initially the most addictive track for me, I am having an increasingly hard time singling out one or two songs over the rest.
