Phantom - 'Dark Wings of Death' (official music video)

Ancient beast fighting in battles of men
Mounted by him who pretends to sit on the throne
Obsidian skin and hellish fire for breath
READY TO ATTACK, no one will make it out alive.

The lord of the castle hears the screams of pain.
The dragon has burned his walls, his lands and men
INFERNAL SIGHT, the skies have turned blood red
LOYAL to me, the imperial beast of death

BOW TO THE BEAST
FIRE AND BLOOD
DARK WINGS OF DEATH!!!

The conquerer's rule extends to miles ahead
For the black dread he mounts, no one stands a chance
Generations will fear the hell unleashed
POWER, DEATH, mankind has sealed his FATE

BOW TO THE BEAST
FIRE AND BLOOD
DARK WINGS OF DEATH

Οι (συγκεκριμένοι, γιατί υπάρχουν ή υπήρξαν αρκετά metal συγκροτήματα με το ίδιο όνομα) Phantom μας έρχονται από το Μεξικό. Speed metal συγκρότημα το οποίο δημιουργήθηκε προ τετραετίας. Άκρως ενεργοί δισκογραφικά με τρία demos, δύο "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, ένα ep, ένα live album, μία συλλογή και μπόλικα singles.

"Tyrants of Wrath" τιτλοφορείται το πλέον πρόσφατο δισκογραφικό τους πόνημα και κυκλοφόρησε στα τελειώματα του δεύτερου ανοιξιάτικου μήνα, με την μπάντα να μας λέει σχετικά: «Sharpen your stakes, salt your swords and bring your chains to journey into 48 minutes of sonic lacerations, total death, lethal steel, and heavy metal absolute power.»

Δελτίο τύπου: «Phantom are a speed / thrash metal band from Guadalajara, Mexico, formed in 2021 as a project just for fun. After having cut their teeth on three demos and a split album with four likeminded groups, the four-piece released their debut full-length “Handed to Execution”, which was followed one year later by the EP “Transylvanian Nightmare”. While both were well-received by critics and fans alike, Phantom now up the ante with their second album “Tyrants of Wrath”.

The new record marks a tour de force through the genre’s much cherished traditions - think Razor, Dark Angel, Merciless, Living Death and, of course, Slayer for reference - while adding a fresh spin on things, be it in the shape of ‘Nimbus’ - a tribute to Phantom’s most old-school influences from cult acts such as Manilla Road, Gotham City and Heavy Load - or regarding the off-kilter structure of ‘Nazguhl’, one of many ventures into the unconventional that surprisingly enough never compromise the Mexicans’ extreme metal outlook.

“Tyrants of Wrath” was recorded and mixed at Nehtron Studios Mexico by the band and Héctor Northen, mastering was done by Patrick Engel at German Temple of Disharmony.

Phantom will tour Europe in September / October 2025 with Brazil’s Evilcult. “It’s gonna be our first European tour, and we are very excited” gushes front man J.C. “You can expect total devastation and absolutely merciless, breakneck performances!”»
