The Phantom - Tyrants of Wrath - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

High Roller Records, 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 InchHanded to ExecutionInch, which was followed one year later by the EP InchTransylvanian NightmareInch. While both were well-received by critics and fans alike, Phantom now up the ante with their second album InchTyrants of WrathInch. 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. InchTyrants of WrathInch 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. InchIt's gonna be our first European tour, and we are very excited,Inch gushes front man J.C.
