Album Description
Available in:
"Phenomena" is the fourth studio album by American deathcore/progressive metal band Within the Ruins, released July 8, 2014 through E1 Music.
This is the first album where guitarist Joe Cocchi uses a 7-string guitar, utilizing bass guitar strings in order to adopt an unconventionally low tuning and vastly increase the low range of the instrument.

User Album Review
Phenomena has landed the band in a great position as far as growth, potential, and progress. It has enhanced on the positive attributes of Elite, and ignored their less ambitious traits. The band has included more of a melodic flow, the songs have slowed down a tinge, and each track is much more memorable. This is exhibited clearly through the chorus of "Gods Amongst Men" and the synthesizer strategically placed throughout. This denotes their mature status as a band. The ever-strengthening bass seems to be prominently heavier, and the synthesizer seems to be more cleverly used as it adds to, but does not dominate their sound.
As a whole, the album has a more cohesive approach. It's well constructed, as each song is distinctly desirable, carrying with it its own signature while encapsulating the bands original approach to retain their sound. The journey through the album will only solidify their sound with that distinguishable Within the Ruins intonation. With that in mind, given their quick turnaround period since Elite, there could have been a greater effect in progression given another year to ferment. -----.metalinjection.net
