08-29-2026

(MBM) Phil Soussan announces his new EP COSMO FIGHTER PART ONE, to be released on BraveWords Records on November 13th. COSMO FIGHTER is no ordinary album. It will be unleashed as a trilogy of three EP's (Parts 1, 2, and 3).

The first single and video for the track "Fading Out" is available now. All pre-orders of the new EP on Bandcamp will be able to immediately download the first single. The first single, "Fading Out" brings to the surface a sequencer styled bass line, a magnetic guitar riff, and a time change in the chorus that you neither expect nor understand. And the message that whoever chooses to oppress will one day become "faded out" themselves.

COSMO FIGHTER is a sonic roller coaster that forces us to reconfigure how we see the world. While it treats the listener with fierce respect, it plants subtle, haunting questions that linger long after the music fades. By the final track, the album clears out the background noise of modern society, leaving a profound, open mental space ready to be repopulated with life's true harmony.

Written, performed, produced, and mixed entirely by Phil, other than a few guest appearances, it was born from an unexpected moment of silence. Finding himself off the road and on a rare hiatus, he felt an aggressive creative pull, an inspiration calling him to once again venture boldly into the labyrinths of creativity.

"I started pulling from a vast reservoir of embryonic ideas," he says. "Looking around, I saw a world with no shortage of things about which to write. Pacing back and forth I had felt angry at the world, but I wasn't mad at it. I certainly didn't want to sound patronizing, but I had this urge to inspire people to wake up and realize that all truths rest in our own intelligence."

The spark ignited a brilliant concept: a reality check delivered from the perspective of someone who has just returned from the future - THE COSMO FIGHTER.

"I'm not talking Sci-Fi here! ...maybe only two or three years into the future" Phil clarifies. "The Cosmo Fighter comes back into the present to recount what he has seen. Not that long ago, we were all so optimistic about what technology would bring to our lives. This character shows us that things will not always turn out as we imagine. It is entirely up to us to create our own destiny."

"I put everything I could into these songs; pure thought at first can seem uncomfortable, like you are confronting hidden feelings and doubts, but as these ideas developed, they became purely honest. All of a sudden, song after song, I was not afraid to use the gravity of the subjects to influence the music. The album ranges from high energy, driving riffs to moments of heavy lucid calmness"
