California mustache masters Phinehas debuted a new music video for their track ‘Fleshkiller’. The song comes off their new record “The Last Word Is Yours To Speak” out today through Red Cord Records. The video can be viewed below.
The song is also available as a free download in exchange for signing up for their mailing list.
Above the ashes of a dry and thirsty scene, where towers of pride rise and fall, stands Phinehas [FEHN-ee-uhs]. Formed in 2001 on the outskirts of Los Angeles, Phinehas is a band of Christians with the purpose of being a shining light amidst a dark scene.] They recognize that a message is only perceived as good as the messenger, so music quality holds an equally important role in their ministry. What initially began as a thrashy hardcore band has flourished into a brand of metal that not many can emulate.
Phinehas has never lost momentum. Their intense and passionate live show is a hit everywhere. Largely influenced by the music of bands like As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, and Van Halen, Phinehas is a band that loves fast beats and guitar solos while never forgetting their roots by weaving in powerful breakdowns.

Lyrics:
Ignite my veins with your blood to inspire new verses
I’m drained to my dregs
Replace my eyes with your fire to burn through the curses
Leave nothing that could hinder your blinding light
Test me in the furnace of affliction
Refine me as you wish
When the die is cast
Breathe in me your animating spark
I won’t flinch when the Earth gives way
So take me now
It’s not my blood to bleed
I won’t flinch when the Earth gives way
So I cry out:
The last word is yours to speak
Sharpen my tongue with precision only your words convey
I’ve kept waiting too long
Breathe in my lungs a passion that strangles corruption
Till there’s nothing left
Fleshkiller
We’re engraved on your hand
Test me in the furnace of affliction
Refine me as you wish
When the die is cast
Breathe in me your animating spark
I won’t flinch when the Earth gives way
So take me now
It’s not my blood to bleed
I won’t flinch when the Earth gives way
So I cry out:
The last word is yours to speak
Fleshkiller
Disease has no grasp on your reign
Fleshkiller
Prison cells won’t contain your light
With every crushing blow
we are engraved upon your hand
I won’t flinch when the Earth gives way
So take me now
It’s not my blood to bleed
I won’t flinch when the Earth gives way
So I cry out:
The last word is yours to speak
