Phyrexia

Phyrexia is a Heavy Metal project that has been reborn from its dying ashes. Songs have been removed and replaced with songs that suit what we want out of the music. Having said that, there is scope for creativity within Phyrexia, it just has a "general" direction in which it goes in. We're rehersing as a full lineup and things are working out great. http://www.myspace.com/phyrexianmetal
