Phenomena is the fourth studio album by American metalcore band Within the Ruins. It was released on July 22, 2014.[3] The track list for the album was revealed on June 10, 2014, along with the release of the first single "Gods Amongst Men".[4] The album sold 4,067 copies in the United States in its first week and debuted at No. 72 on the Billboard 200.[5][6]
This is the first album where guitarist Joe Cocchi uses a 7-string guitar, using bass guitar strings to adopt an unconventionally low tuning and vastly increase the low range of the instrument.[7]
In a 2014 interview with Loudwire, Joe Cocchi noted that parts of the instrumental "Enigma" reference themes from Super Mario Bros. and also Inspector Gadget.[8]
