My debut album, The Anchorhold, is out on Spotify via Trepanation Recordings. Featuring performances from members of The Medea Project, Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate, S/W, Monachopsis, Pornographic Sunset, Matt Steady and mastered by the legend that is James Plotkin, the album was a passion project that helped to keep me sane over the course of a somewhat challenging year. More than anything, I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with some truly fantastic artists, and I’m very proud of the result. If you’ve not given it a spin, head on over to Spotify and let me know what you think:

End This Way is one of my favourite tracks from The Anchorhold (Phil Stiles), helped no end by the amazing video clip from Lee Waters Lyrics. A huge amount went into the making of The Anchorhold, an album that allowed me to work with some truly fantastic musicians, including Pornographic Sunset’s Roger Morter; The Medea Project; Monachopsis’ Richard Allsopp, Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate’s Mark Gatland, S/W’s Tomek Wolski and Matt Steady; not to mention James Plotkin, who mastered it.
The final piece of the puzzle came when Dan of Trepanation Recordings agreed to release the album, and you can grab a copy on CD and Cassette at www.philstiles.bandcamp.com
Regardless, please check out the video, give it a like and hit subscribe – it all helps more than perhaps you realise.

It was a real pleasure to sit down with the Rock Metal Podcast to talk about my debut solo (Phil Stiles) album, The Anchorhold. The album, which includes contributions from The Medea Project, Roger Morter of Pornographic Sunset, Molitoth-Audio / A Light Within‘s Kyle Brandt, S/W‘s Tomek Wolski, Hats Off Gentlemen It’s Adequate‘s Mark Gatland, Matt Steady and Monachopsis‘ Richard Allsopp, was mastered by the legendary James Plotkin (Khanate) and was a genuine labour of love for all involved. I’m very proud of the result and it’s a privilege to be able to share some of the background in these interviews.

31st December 2017
Well it’s the demise of yet another year but reflecting on 2017, it was a landmark year for The Medea Project. Re-awakened on new shores, EP launch, shows and a relocation, it’s been a busy but memorable year.
Horns up to all the bands that we had the pleasure of playing with and bands we have met along the way.
An especially very very massive thank-you to the amazing, metal-mad Italian, Fabiola Santini. Your support and faith always pushed us on and there are no words to express our gratitude!
And last but definitely not least a double horns up to all our fans. The support has been overwhelming and we’re ready to keep the metal flag flying in 2018.
We want to wish everybody an awesome 2018. Play it dark and play it loud!
12th September 2017
With a busy few months of an EP launch, barrage of gigs and some merch, the Medea Project is officially alive and squirming. However, having left enough of a stain on the South East, it is now time to spread that stain across the rest of the Land.
We have decided to slither our way up to the Midlands. So, although we’ll be quiet on the gigging front for the next 6 weeks, it doesn’t mean we’re dead (well, we hope not) but tunnelling our way in. We’ve already snatched ourselves a rehearsal room so the cacophony will continue and all this in time for the grimfrost that will be descending soon…
19th August 2017
Good gig at 02 Islington last night! Great bands, great promoter and staff and an awesome crowd.
Thanks to The Basilisk, Sectlinefor, Detoxen and All That Was Said
Also thanks to Symptomatic and the O2 guys for all your support and help
Most of all thanks to everyone who came out to support, drink and in general have a damn good time!
Our next onslaught is on the 2nd September at the Red Lion in Gravesend. See you there!
