Phal:Angst from Vienna have been following their vision of electronic Industrial and analog Post Rock for 16 years now, and they have been doing so consistently, while also joyfully embracing self-development. Phal:Angst originate from the DIY Punk/Hardcore scene of the late 90ies and early 2000s, and have deviated from there just soundwise: besides all aspects of music, organisation and publication they have always had the digital infrastructure under their control as well. During the late 90ies leftist netculture activism Angst, the band’s electronics musician, founded the web-platform med-user.net. Thus he provides an alternative, non-commercial digital free space which has been popular among protagonists of the Austrian autonomous and DIY scene. With Phal:Angst, everything is political – without being banal or on the nose. Especially technical progress and music. This hasn’t changed since the band’s emergence within the anarchist scenes.
