Phinehas formed in 2001 in La Mirada, CA, near Los Angeles. The band went through a few lineup changes before settling on Sean McCulloch (vocals), Jason Combs (guitars), Ryan Estrada (bass) and Lee Humerian (drums). The band recorded and independently released a self-titled EP on December 15, 2009. After the release, the band went on a 10-day tour before beginning work on their debut album Thegodmachine. After finishing production of the album, the band looked at many labels, before being signed to Red Cord Records in 2011.Thegodmachine was released on September 30, 2011 through Red Cord, and received acclaim from music critics. Most of the praise came from the band's "uncompromising blast of metalcore" and the thrash metal-style riffs. The band toured extensively to promote the album, including a spot at Cornerstone 2011, with bands such as P.O.D, For Today, Close Your Eyes and Living Sacrifice among others. In early 2013 the Bridge Between EP was released, featuring updated versions of songs from their self-titled EP and acoustic renditions of songs from Thegodmachine.
According to the Hebrew Bible, Phinehas or Phineas (/ˈfɪniəs/; Hebrew: פִּינְחָס, ModernPinəḥas, TiberianPinchas) was a priest during the Israelites'Exodus journey, the grandson of Aaron and son of Eleazar, the High Priests (Exodus 6:25). He distinguished himself as a youth at Shittim with his zeal against the Heresy of Peor. He was displeased with the immorality with which the Moabites and Midianites had successfully tempted the Israelites (Numbers 25:1-9) to inter-marry and to worship Baal-peor, so he personally executed an Israelite man and a Midianite woman while they were together in the man's tent, running a javelin or spear through the man and the belly of the woman. His action brought an end to a plague said to have been sent by God to punish the Israelites for sexually intermingling with the Midianites.
Phinehas is commended for having stopped Israel's fall to idolatrous practices brought in by Midianite women, as well as for stopping the desecration of God's sanctuary. After the entry to the land of Israel and the death of his father, he was appointed the third High Priest of Israel, and served at the sanctuary of Bethel (Judges 20:28). He is commemorated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church on September 2.
The Phinehas - EP is an EP and the first release by American metalcore band Phinehas.

The EP was self-released on December 15, 2009. A music video was produced for the song "Well If the Earths are Stopped, Then the Fox Faces the Hounds" and was directed by Ricky Norris.

Bind myself to the pyre of hell
I gotta burn to become the fire itself
It's suffocating my heart.
Stifling every beautiful thing I have ever felt to be the same
So I lit a match, stepped back, and watched the wall of lies go up in flames Ignite be free
Brace for the weight of your soul
Be the fire itself
Wild, free, and uncontrolled
Be the fire itself
Living in the bitter cold of security
Waiting for a spark
Desperately searching for a sign of life
Alone in the dark
Playing with fire
All of my love, and all my anger
But in my heart
I'd rather die myself than live a stranger
No more to stumble in shadows
No need to strain my eyes

In fear dig an early grave

Death falls like a hammer from the heavens
Not meant to crawl on hands and knees
I did not call your name for you to not speak
You were not shaped to fold, but forged to be bold in the path you seek
Fathered not to stay in comfort
Leave the shade of your shell
You are not a number
Forever to slumber in your cell
Death falls

Kindred of Infinity
Existing together
Eternally apart
Dispersed in the wailing wind
Separated at birth
Clay surrounds hearts even thicker than the depth of the earth
Endless bodies like the seas and the skies
Are sooner to converge than you and I collide
We exist together while eternally apart
How vast the distance between who we are
Bond severed, an impassable chasm
A mystery to man
Circling the universe in tandem just out of reach
Because we beat upon on a wall instead of the door there is no answer

Safe years behind me burn bright

You've always found me in the deep of night
I could die well here before morning comes

In fear remain in your nightmares
In fear dig an early grave
The unknown obliterates the present
Death falls like a hammer from the heavens
Not meant to crawl on hands and knees
I did not call your name for you to not speak
You were not shaped to fold, but forged to be bold in the path you seek
Fathered not to stay in comfort
Leave the shade of your shell
You are not a number
Forever to slumber in your cell
Death falls
When you face the wordless darkness alone
Death falls
Look into the unknown
To escape in the night
And never sleep again
In the night
Come with me instead
With stars to guide
The pain will subside
In the night
Unafraid of what darkness brings
Not fated to be meaningless
Composed for more than silence
Not found to hide, or quiet secrecy inside
But defiance
To bring an end with terror or terror without end
An end with terror or terror without end

We made plans to escape
Like in the movies
Confiding in scripts
Kindling in secret
Our home discrete
In captors' keep
[Verse 4]
In quiet still small moments
Wait till they leave us alone
And don't look back
Cross with me over the threshold
My inimitable half
In quiet still small moments
I hear you breathe and I remember
I am alive
I am alive
I found you under distant stars
Distant stars
You saw me through my deepest dark

Bind myself to the pyre of hell
I gotta burn to become the fire itself
It's suffocating my heart.
Stifling every beautiful thing I have ever felt to be the same
So I lit a match, stepped back, and watched the wall of lies go up in flames Ignite be free
Brace for the weight of your soul
Be the fire itself
Wild, free, and uncontrolled
Be the fire itself
Living in the bitter cold of security
Waiting for a spark
Desperately searching for a sign of life
Alone in the dark
Playing with fire
All of my love, and all my anger
But in my heart
I'd rather die myself than live a stranger
No more to stumble in shadows
No need to strain my eyes
Uncovered from myself now
No dark escapes the light

Phinehas formed in 2001 in La Mirada, CA, near Los Angeles. The band went through a few lineup changes before settling on Sean McCulloch (vocals), Jason Combs (guitars), Ryan Estrada (bass) and Lee Humerian (drums). The band recorded and independently released a self-titled EP on December 15, 2009. After the release, the band went on a 10-day tour before beginning work on their debut album Thegodmachine. After finishing production of the album, the band looked at many labels, before being signed to Red Cord Records in 2011.Thegodmachine was released on September 30, 2011 through Red Cord, and received acclaim from music critics. Most of the praise came from the band's "uncompromising blast of metalcore" and the thrash metal-style riffs. The band toured extensively to promote the album, including a spot at Cornerstone 2011, with bands such as P.O.D, For Today, Close Your Eyes and Living Sacrifice among others. In early 2013 the Bridge Between EP was released, featuring updated versions of songs from their self-titled EP and acoustic renditions of songs from Thegodmachine.
