Phenomena is the fourth studio album by American metalcore band Within the Ruins. It was released on July 22, 2014. The track list for the album was revealed on June 10, 2014, along with the release of the first single "Gods Amongst Men". The album sold 4,067 copies in the United States in its first week and debuted at No. 72 on the Billboard 200.
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.
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.
