The new album will be entitled "Fire From The Evening Sun" and is set to be released in North America on September 16th, the UK on September 15th and Europe on September 12th.

Lombardo says the follow-up to 2012's Harmonic will mark a change in pace for the band. He adds: "Harmonic is still an amazing work to me. It's improvisational and raw. It was my first time producing an album and I am very proud of it. The new album is a completely different animal. It is again produced by me, but mastered and mixed by a couple of musical giants - Tyler Bates and Robert Carranza.

"I believe this album has a daring, callous temperament about it that really sums up our mindset right now. No improvising, no fluff. It's heavy and in your face from start to finish.

"You may think you know what Philm is, but you don't. If you haven't seen us live, you have no idea. We thrive on being out of our comfort zones and want fans to take that ride."
