Title - Homo Homini Lvpvs
Label - Construct.Destroy.Collective
Format - CDR
Year - 2005
Genre - Martial
The barbed wire on the cover betrays that this won’t be a peaceful release. And indeed, this cd-r by Phragments has a clear apocalyptic and martial atmosphere. It’s the first full-length album of this one-man project from Slovakia after some shorter attempts.
The eight tracks in general have a (synthetic) orchestral neoclassical approach, with pounding percussion and atmospheric synth layers underneath. The music is mostly instrumental, with a few speech samples and choirs added, notably on the ritual ‘Community-identity-stability’.
The sound on Homo Homini Lvpvs is quite bombastic and will appeal to lovers of the more orchestral Swedish acts. A track like ‘Pangean hymn’ is very heavy and militaristic. Other tracks sound more like oppressive industrial soundscapes, for example ‘The cogwheel turns’.
The musical style of Phragments is not entirely original, but I think the music is well executed. Some tracks are a bit monotonous, but overall this is a very enjoyable release which is limited to only 150 copies in special packaging.
繼聼完該團的live唱片后，接著聼了2005年的這張正式專輯，具體review見上面的英文版本，中文版本我這裡就不展開了，樂隊的一些八卦消息在下面的那張live唱片裏我已經說過了這裡就不重復了。

Phragments has released three CDs via its home label Construct.Destroy.Collective. The first one was a 3" CD entitled "We are all beasts" in 2004. This release contains five tracks of composed orchestral/industrial music. The second CD is entitled "Switzerland Occupied" and was released in February 2005 . This is a live CD, which contains two uncut concerts from Luzern and Zurich (both played in february 2005). The first studio album of Phragments was released in november 2005 and is entitled "Homo Homini Lvpvs". It contains 8 tracks of orchestralpower mixed with industrial machinery. Filled with heavy emotion, the debut full-length album of Phragments will surely appeal to all lovers of dark atmospherics. Phragments also contributed tracks to four compilations.
In late 2004, Phragments had its first premiere playing live at an exhibition in Bratislava. After that, concerts were played in Slovakia, Czech Republic, Switzerland and France. Within his stage performance, When playing live, Phragments also uses video collages courtesy of Sona Luther, who has become part of the group in 2004.
Phragments是来自斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉发市的双人组全。成员有负责音乐的Matej和负责影像的Sonic。 他们从2000起发行了三张CD，都在自设的厂牌Construct.Destroy.Collective下推出。第一张是名为"We are all beasts"的三寸单曲，第二张是名为"Switzerland Occupied"的现场录音专辑，里面收入了乐队在Luzern和Zurich演出的两场音乐会。
2006年他们发布了第一张正式专辑"Homo Homini Lvpvs"，专辑中的八首歌都是管弦乐与工业机械的强力混合上，充满重厚的情感魄力，是会让喜欢黑色氛围的乐迷感兴趣的出品。这张唱片的第一批版本以金属封面做150张限量发行，现已售完。再次发行的版本是digipak的压制CD。新版本里还有一支由Sonic创作的录影带做为附赠曲目。
