Phantom - Tyrants Of Wrath - Red [Colored Vinyl] (Red) [Download Included] Vinyl Record

High Roller Records, ltd 500, 425gsm heavy cardboard cover, insert, download code, 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!"
