Philistine is an industrial death/doom metal band in some ways similar to Toadliquor, Bunkur, Moss, and Halo. Other musical inspirations include Khanate, Godflesh, Neurosis, Crowbar, Isis, and Cult of Luna.

The band formed in the fall of 2003 with the intent to generate a primitive but mind crippling wall of sound, coupled with intelligence and introspection. Philistine's first release "Consume and Devour" is a mammoth, low-end fueled, aural assault. All fans of "slow and low" should check this out. This full length album is available for free in its entirety.

Bow before the power of slow.
