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
