Philm Release First New Song Since Losing Dave Lombardo

(Metal Hammer) Philm have released a lyric video for their new track The Seventh Sun. It's the first material from the band since drummer Dave Lombardo walked away in January this year, saying he'd dissolved the band in the process.

But in September, vocalist and guitarist Gerry Nestler issued a statement saying "the reports of our demise have been greatly exaggerated" and vowed the band would continue.

He's joined in the lineup by Pancho Tomaselli and Anderson Quintero - and they're planning on releasing a 10-inch vinyl EP in early 2017. Nestler tells Revolver: "We've just licensed the artwork for the EP and are getting everything ready for the pressing plant but we won't have copies available until the new year.

"At the same time, we wanted to give the fans a taste of what's to come, so we decided to leak a track. The Seventh Sun is one of the last things we recorded in Los Angeles with engineer and producer Chris Sorem prior to our move to the East Coast." Read more and listen to the song here.
