Biography

ENPHIN, formerly known as PH and Mr. Peter Hayden , is a Finnish alternative metal band often filed under post-metal, spacerock or psychedelic doom. Group was formed in Kankaanpää, Finland in 2000. Starting out as a quartet, the band wrote their first three albums, Faster than Speed (2010), Born A Trip (2012) and Archdimension Now (2014) in an attempt to deconstruct the four dimensions using winding compositions to stretch time and space, blending psychedelic rock, space rock and doom metal while expanding their lineup up to seven members at best. After that the band released Eternal Hayden (2016) and Osiris Hayden (2019), which were characterized by more concise songwriting and a focus on themes like spiritual growth, ascension, and overall progression towards freedom. In 2022 group released their sixth full-length album End Cut via Pelagic Records. Presenting the listener with a post-apocalyptic storyline, End Cut can be perceived as the final part of a second trilogy, as well as a first part of something new, which explores the aforementioned themes on multiple levels. With a lineup reduced to its original size of four musicians, End Cut continues the band’s trajectory of writing increasingly shorter songs. Gone are the hour-long sonic journeys that marked the first trilogy and enter fifteen dynamic compositions that make up a troubling journey through dark landscapes and harrowing visions. In 2023 a remix album Re-Cut followed, consisting of remixes End Cut tracks.
