Merging the normally disparate worlds of punishing heavy metal and Christian ideology, Phinehas is a Christian metal band based out of La Mirada, California. Emerging in 2010, the group found crossover success with the release of their third full-length effort, Till the End, which appeared on both the CCM and mainstream rock charts. Subsequent outings like Dark Flag (2017) and The Fire Itself (2021) continued to push at the boundaries of hardcore punk, extreme metal, and Christian rock.
