The project Ephel Duath was created in February 1998 with the precise intent of experimenting in the sphere of extreme music. At the root of the group's name lies the concept of a dark and fleeting sound: Ephel Duath is the mountain range that defends the kingdom of evil in Tolkien's masterpiece.

The band's sound is a mixtures of jazz colours, rock-metal thorns and experimental landscapes.

Founded in 1994 by the Masson brothers, Pneumatic Head Compressor, one of the oldest metal-electronic-industrial-noisy band in Belgium is still there to bring the chaos on stage..

"Their Music is somewhere between Godflesh, Meshuggah, Neurosis, Strapping young lad, Ministry, Hint and Primus "

With destructured, heavy, tortured music and a confusion of original tones, strange noises, shouts and atypical singings, P.H.C. surprises by the originality and diversity of its repertoire.

As a matter of fact, PHC's intense compositions are the result of a long maturation process (the group finds it funny to call it a putrefaction process).

Let's we forget, the fraternal duo has been involved in Magasin 4 for a long time. As one of the last fortresses of alternative music in Brussels, it is fair to say they had a lot on their plate; one might even wonder when these DIY aficionados —who record, mix and create their artwork by themselves—have found the time to share the stage with bands such as Godflesh, Zu, Pound, OvO, Hint, La Muerte, Mr Marcaille, Zeni Geva, Punish Yourself, Le Singe Blanc and many more....
