Skin-torturer Dyrhk (aka Dirk Verbeuren from Scarve, Soilwork, Aborted, Artsonic, Lyzanxia) was immediately seduced by this realm of aggressive black metal sounds coated with rock n roll influences, and during the Fall of 2003, Phazm spawned its first aural insanities. Mahx (bazz) left his little stinky hole shortly before the recording of a three tracks demo. The four-piece didnt even take the time to give this demo its originally intended release. Instead, they decided to migrate towards the Danish plains in order to record their first full-length offering with producer Jacob Hansen (ILLDISPOSED, INVOCATOR, ABORTED). During the cold and dark month of December 2003, ten songs were carved onto tape in a very raw and straightforward manner.

In March 2009, Pierrick announced that Phazm disbanded.
In July 2012 the band announced that they're back.

They have released three albums :
- Hate At First Seed (2004)
- Antebellum Death'n'Roll (2006)
- Cornerstone Of The Macabre (2008).

Pierrick joined Agressor on guitars and left Scarve in 2007 to fully concentrate on Phazm. Pierrick also joined the southern-metal band Addicted.

Hunger
Phazm Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The graves and tombs

Are nice and cool

So quite and full

Our only wish

To cash a corpse

So juicy sweet

We're so hungry

We need it now

Michevously

Can you belive

That we will eat

Your shelled bodies

IAH ! Hunger for death !

Human carrion crow

We want it crisp wormed filled and cold

So fucking good we love that taste

Shifty we are and we will stay !

We eat your dead and desecrate

We please our hate we love that taste

We're so hungry we need it now !

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Phazm's song Hunger may seem disturbing, but actually convey a deeper message. The graves and tombs are described as nice and cool with the implication that death is comforting, and the only wish of the persona is to feast on a corpse. The language depicting the desire to consume bodies is quite visceral and gruesome, but the underlying message is that death is inevitable and it is something that should be accepted. The line, "We're so hungry, we need it now" conveys the sense of urgency that the persona feels about death, as if it is something they cannot live without. The lyrics also paint an image of the persona as someone who is shifty and unapologetic about the desire to consume bodies.
