Stereophobia are an Alternative Metal band from Lisbon, Portugal. The band features a massive guitar sound, thundering bass, and a percussive pound and burn that resonates like a war-drum. The band just premiered another new music video, entitled “The Freakshow” which was directed by Lou Loução. “The Freakshow” is the third music video from their new full-length album Choke On This which was just released on August 29, 2025 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Miguel Camilo and Stereophobia at MC Sound Studios.

“The Freakshow” is a rebel’s anthem, a march of the withered spirits of our corpses… as the lyrics state “We are the ones cutting tongues now. We are the freaks, the zombies, the monsters, the fiends, and we are coming on hard, promising that you will be swallowed by the faces, consumed piece by piece, and added like acid to the belly of the beast.” Watch “The Freakshow” music video by Stereophobia right now:

“I’ve had the music video in mind since I first conceived this song” says vocalist & guitarist Mike Rocha. “The sound and theme transport me to a circus environment, to an American Horror Story/Marilyn Manson/Charlie and the Chocolate Factory kind of thing, mixed with a sound composed of a powerful swing riff, and a strong message. This song reflects past experiences, times spent on the streets, sleeping in cars, garages, and friends’ houses, aimless, and living off consumption and improvising the resources of street life. It was in this environment with the street kids that we were called freaks, among other things. We felt discriminated against by society, marked by our differences and a certain contempt for not having a so-called normal life. These were difficult times, but they also brought a certain freedom.”

Choke on This, the hot new alternative metal album from Stereophobia, is more than a gut punch. It is a blast in the face that widens your eyes, buzzsaws your back, and rocks you right to the marrow. Hard rock at its finest, the rich guitar sound is a precious collection of aesthetic “schitzo-riffs,” each an exotic treasure dazzling in the dark and leading us to the caverns and haunts of our deepest repressions. The bass is a booming series of tactical nukes, and the power-drumming gets in your blood, enlarges your heart, and rattles your ribcage. The album isn’t subtle. Play the “f” out of it, and for “eff’n” God’s sake, play it loud! In terms of overall theme, this emotive and powerful record is about infection, a poisoned society we feed on like snakes in the crease, ingesting the swill spit out of our television sets, the lies bleeding through the pores of our social media, and the culture wars pitting us against each other like gladiators wearing masks and falling hard on our swords. Musically, Choke on This is innovative and fresh considering the variety of guitar sounds, the intricate drum work (especially the production and performance on the toms), the emotive vocals, and the powerful bass runs. This album was produced by Miguel Camilo, (M’vula, The Bateleurs), and Stereophobia at MC Sound Studios, and the album cover art was created by Tatiana Ferreira. Choke On This by Stereophobia was released on August 29^th, 2025 via Eclipse Records.

Portuguese alternative metal band STEREOPHOBIA have returned to blow your mind like a stick of dynamite in a glass factory! The band’s massive signature guitar sound, thundering bass, and percussive beats that resonate like war-drum are back with a rebellious new single and music video entitled “Uncle Clarke’s (Made Me Do It)“. The music video was directed by Lou Loução in Alverca, Lisbon. This is the second single & music video taken from their upcoming full-length album Choke On This which will be released on August 29, 2025 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Miguel Camilo and Stereophobia at MC Sound Studios.

“This second single was chosen due to the contrast of the two sonic hemispheres between density, aggressiveness and heaviness, with the serene and melodic response” says guitarist & vocalist Mike Rocha. “Once again, we feel that it demonstrates a little of everything that Stereophobia represents in terms of our songwriting. The concept of the video came about in a Yin-Yang style representing the contrast of light and darkness surrounding the band in a 360º view, and how the search for serenity against your alter ego can become your biggest critic with devastating thoughts and low self-esteem.” Drummer Dany Antunes adds, “The significance of the black and white contrast is quite evident and reflects what was already previously explained by Mike, so the color choosing was an immediate idea to transfer to the video. I think in this video the narrative is pretty straightforward and hardly gives place to different interpretations.”

Choke on This, the abrasive new alternative metal album from Stereophobia, is more than a punch in the gut. It is a blast in the face that buzzsaws your back, widens your eyes, and rocks your bones right down to the marrow. Aggressive music at its finest, the rich guitar sound is a precious collection of aesthetic “schitzo-riffs,” each an exotic treasure dazzling in the dark and leading us to the caverns and haunts of our deepest repressions. The bass is a booming series of tactical nukes, and the power-drumming gets in your blood, enlarges your heart, and rattles your ribcage. The album isn’t subtle.

Stereophobia are an alternative metal band from Lisbon, Portugal, and they will blow your mind like an M-80 in a paper lampshade! They feature a massive guitar sound, a thundering bass, and a percussive pound and burn that resonates like a war-drum. The band just premiered a new music video for their rebellious new single “Maggots“. The music video was directed by Lou Loução in Alverca, Lisbon. “Maggots” is the first single & music video taken from their upcoming full-length album Choke On This which will be released on August 29, 2025 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced by Miguel Camilo and Stereophobia at MC Sound Studios.

“This video portrays neglect in a metaphorical way” Says guitarist & vocalist Mike Rocha. “Abandonment and mental loneliness, disturbances and conflicts due to someone not adapting or being part of the common social context, all come into play. I feel that it touches on every feeling conveyed in the album’s overall theme; it has a bit of everything. Initially, the idea was to convey the contrast between a happy family on TV screens and being watched by a doctor in a mental hospital, but we adapted it to something more disturbing. The ideas came about largely from the influence of the film The Ring and the film One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest with Jack Nicholson.” Drummer Dany Antunes adds, “Being part of the creation of this music video was a challenge, as it required ensuring that the intended vision and direction were perfectly aligned. The director and her crew were truly amazing—efficient, supportive and instrumental in allowing creativity to flourish. The duality of acting and playing our musical instruments was both exciting and intense. We paid close attention to every technical detail, making sure nothing disrupted the crew’s performance and worked within the constraints of time and location to bring our vision to life. The connection between everyone on set was incredible, making the entire process both highly productive and deeply engaging.”

Eclipse Records is thrilled to announce the signing of Stereophobia, an alternative metal band from Lisbon, Portugal, and they will blow your mind like an M-80 in a paper lampshade! The band recently finished recording their latest full-length album entitled Choke On This with Miguel Camilo producing at MC Sound Studios. Choke On This will be released via Eclipse Records on August 29, 2025.

“Eclipse Records sparked our interest since we knew that Mushroomhead (a band which I have followed and admired for a long time) signed with them many years ago” says lead vocalist and guitarist Mike Rocha. “I´ve always aspired on achieving great goals while always reaching higher. As we are focusing 100% on the music, I usually say that we are like no other band in the world, so we needed a label like no other as Eclipse Records is (mainly for their musical variety and focus on the artist’s music). That’s why I believe Eclipse Records is the right match for us!” Drummer Dany Atunes adds, “It’s an incredible feeling to sign an agreement with Eclipse Records for the upcoming album! With this new record being a more dark and complex evolution of our sound, it’s beyond our wildest expectations to reach such a milestone and have Eclipse to back us up on this new journey. We can’t wait to share it with everyone!” Bruno Santos (bass guitar) also said, “I think signing with Eclipse Records is one of the most positive things that has happened to the band so far, and for the release of our new album, Eclipse Records is the perfect label for us!”
