The Phantom Pains

Bio:



Despite its "ghostly" connotation, phantom sensation is most certainly a realistic, tangible event experienced by millions of amputees world wide.

Whilst the debate over what causes phantom pain continue, the debate often overshadows the bottom line: Amputees are in pain because of it.



Phantom sensation is usually experienced by most amputees at one time or another. Some of us are blessed with very little exposure to the "unpleasantries" of phantom sensation, some experience severe pain on a daily basis.



Phantom sensation is not just the feeling of having a limb when no limb is present (which usually goes away). It is a term used for any sensation or pain originating from a residual (stump) limb.



Phantom sensation can range from tingling sensations to severe sharp, stabbing pain that can only be controlled via professional pain management.

Review:



American Werewolves label-mates The Phantom Pains play it fast, loud and caustic like the Nerve Agents and Black Flag did once upon an angry time. Quick and dirty, most of the tracks on In Bed With The Dead clock in arund a minute and a half and the vocals sit in the back behind The Pains' loud 'n' pungent blasts of bass and '80's thrash guitar. There's little room for variation, and the horror ties are loose, but credit these creeps for shoveling six cuts and a bonus demo into a mere nineteen minutes. Plus, you can fold out the front cover so the girl on it bites into some guy's neck!
