PHONOMIK was founded by Michael (bass), Shane (vocal / guitar) and Kenneth (guitar) in the summer of 2006 - all residents of the southern part of Denmark. They had a common dream of reaching out to the masses through music. Their ambition and talent was not to be mistaken. They quickly became aware of each other's skills and professionalism and they soon recognized the band's immense potential. These qualities provide the solid foundation that drives PHONOMIK even today.
Around New Year 2006/07 the band recorded their first demo with Kruger (drums) under the name PHON. The EP consisted of two songs written by Shane. Already 6 months later, they started recording their self financed debut album "Soul Creeper". During the recording, they became aware of the benefits of having a unique band name. They extended the PHON, which is a synonym for decibels, with MIK which has a powering effect of a word. And PHONOMIK was baptized.
Kruger played drums in the band until February 2010 where he was replaced by Rune after a unanimous decision.
Since the release of Soul Creeper, PHONOMIK have been receiving a lot of positive reviews worldwide, including airplay on Bruce Dickinson's radio show, and they did extensive touring to support the album. Concerts in 2010 included Latvia, Germany and a tour in Denmark together with band Chainfist, where new fans were gained at every gig. By the end of 2010, the writing for the new album began.
In 2011 PHONOMIK commence touring to support Soul Creeper, including gigs with Danish rock mastodons D-A-D - RAGE - a Baltic tour in August and several festival jobs throughout the summer. PHONOMIK will start tracking drums for the new album in July and record the rest during the fall. An album very much anticipated and expected to be released in late 2011 or early 2012!
