Phathom (originally Section 8) was a rock band that made waves in the music industry with their high-energy live performances, and catchy hooks. The band's first EP, "Destroy the World Before Bedtime," launched them into the limelight and sold over 1000 copies on its own, which was a major feat for an independent band at the time. The album also ignited a fire in the Los Angeles local scene and allowed Phathom to attract a more loyal following. With the band's growing popularity, they embarked on their second EP, "The Halo Effect," released on Halloween night in 2003. The band spent two years recording their first self-titled album, selling over 10,000 copies strictly from the road. With their fan base continually expanding, the band started a heavy touring campaign, which included selling out shows, playing over 70 high schools across five states, and performing with popular acts like Bane, Strung Out, Unwritten Law, A Wilhelm Scream, No Use for a Name, Avenged Sevenfold, and more. Phathom participate in the Vans Warped Tour from 2006 to 2008. The band's success paved the way for them to release three full-length albums, including their self-titled debut album in 2006, Zombie Love in 2007, and The New Piracy in 2011, as well as three EPs. Despite their success, the members eventually decided to pursue other endeavors and parted ways, leaving behind a rich legacy of hard work, perseverance, and dedication to their craft.
