Phobia - A Piece of Fear K7 (1991, Self-Released)


While there wasn't much lyrically or artistically deep about Phobia, they did create a few charming diy German goth/wave tunes influenced by The Cure and Bauhaus that sort of reminds me of a combination between Also, Momento Mori UK, and the lighter side of No Critics. I know of one other tape called "Holidays Were Never Better!" that was shorter in length and consisted of many of the same tracks found here. I'm guessing the bands' "biggest" moments were their contributions to the CD compilations "Behind Mysterious Gates" ('92 with a re-recorded version of "Jack is Back" shortened to just "Jack") and their cover of "Shadowplay" off 1995's "Ceremonial" Joy Division tribute that was released in the US. Couple decent tunes if you have a soft spot for this sort of sound, and a very hard to find release.

Preview samples here:

    Lu-not sure if you have heard 34 Vampires, but they aren't too good...

    Sorrow- You gonna put Ex-Voto up? Do you have any of their demos? They are up there with Kathedral as being impossible to get ahold of.

    I have 2 tapes by Son of William and I believe I have that release. Got it some years back, not even sure if I ever listened to it. I don't listen to a ton of goth rock music from the 90s that often anymore.

    Hello, if you know "behind mysterious gates", you might recall the opening track by Permanent Confusion. They're back again, and there's a vinyl with their best moments from that era on Brouillard Défenitif, "1991-1993 (kicks from the past)". If interested, message me.
