Phantom - 'Not Midnight Yet' (official album stream)

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 πενταετίας. Άκρως ενεργοί δισκογραφικά με τρία demos, τρεις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους, ένα ep, ένα live album, μία συλλογή και μπόλικα singles. "Not Midnight Yet" τιτλοφορείται το πλέον πρόσφατο δισκογραφικό τους πόνημα και κυκλοφόρησε προ ημερών...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Recorded and mixed once again with Héctor “Northen” Ibarra at Nehtron Studios in Guadalajara and mastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple Of Disharmony in Germany, this new album captures the band at their most technical and dynamic.

“I am never fully satisfied with my records and I try to push forward and expand our boundaries with every new material - without changing the soul and core of what Phantom stands for: Old School Heavy Metal“, explains mastermind J.C. García. „This record puts together very well everything that we are. Because of that, I think this is a juggernaut of an album.”

Tracks such as ‘Hordes Of Bats’ deliver relentless speed and riff-driven aggression, while ‘Dracula’s Curse’ and the title track lean into powerful midtempo dynamics and complex structures. ‘The Pale Remains Of Time’ stands out as one of the album’s most ambitious moments, combining melodic vocals, clean guitar interludes and subtle progressive touches.

“I try to break the established formula and add more textures and layers while keeping the old school spirit”, J.C. states. “It’s a very personal record and a work I’m very proud of. I think this is the most solid Phantom record to date.” With “Not Midnight Yet”, Phantom sharpen their identity and deliver a powerful, atmospheric statement - proof that the night is far from over.»
