Hey, thank you for coming back for another interview!

Thank you for having us back. It’s Patrick btw. Lead Vocalist of Phear

What is new since the last interview?

It has been a while…. Phear has a new album out, “Save Our Souls”. It features a few new members since our last live EP.  Mike Harshaw (Ex-Annihilator) recorded all the drums on the new Album. Alex Zubair (Ex-Burn to Black) was also added for Lead and Rhythm Guitars. We have a new Record Label behind us. (Golden Robot Records).  We are definitely heavier on this release. I guess you can say, it is a much different Phear than what you heard before! We have added more progressive/ thrash elements to the new songs. The live show continues to get more exciting. We have added LED screens, moving lights…….and yes Ladies and Gentlemen…..more lasers! Andrew Suarez (Ex-Fatality, The Slyde) is playing live drums for us now and will be doing all things Phear in the future. Unfortunately, Mike’s schedule doesn’t afford him time for live shows with us. But he is still part of the Phear Phamily!!

What has been inspiring you lately?

Inspiration may come in many forms. As far as Lyrics go, I’m usually drawing from books I’ve read, news I have seen, stories, relationships, people I have met….who remain anonymous lol. I wrote most of the lyrics for the “Save Our Souls” album during the Covid Pandemic, thus the very dark nature of this album. It was not a great time. But, there are some exceptions on this album. I’ll leave that to the listener to determine.  Musically, I have been gravitating to the heavy side of metal….at least I find it heavy. Listening to bands such as Nevermore, Slipknot, Rammstein, Machine Head, Threat Signal, just to name a few.

Do you have any new singles, videos, or albums out that you would like to tell me and your fans about?

Our current single “Snake” is out now. Also, a video on YouTube. (See link below). We will be releasing a lyric video for the song “New World Error” in March 2025 TBD.  We are in talks to complete a full band video for “Aftershock”. it is currently in pre-production. In other words….we are writing the theme. We hope to release it in May 2025.  There will be other lyric videos in the future and shhh…… this is a big secret….. Phear has recorded 4 metal covers. These will be released on YouTube over the remainder of 2025, Dates TBD! Lastly, we have also started writing the next album….. You think this one is heavy?….. Can’t wait!!!!

Do you have anything else that you would like to talk about or promote?

I would love to mention that we are planning to tour in the fall of 2025. We promise to bring the biggest show to date. If you have seen a Phear show, you know what I’m talking about!!!! If you haven’t….WTF???? Let’s just say that the posters usually read something like this as a WARNING: “This show contains, LASERS, STROBES, SMOKE, CO2 CANNONS,  FLASHING AND MOVING LIGHTS AND DISTURBING IMAGES…..BECAUSE ITS PHUCKING AWESOME!!!

I look forward to seeing your beautiful metal faces on the road!!!!
