TRACKLIST:
Artist : Phantom Lord Country : Greece Release : In Twilight World Year : 1999 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info:
Musically you have fast ("Phantom Lord", "See You In Hell", "Full Of
Hate", "Uprising"), mid-paced ("Beheading The Night", "Mercyful Soul")
and also stomping songs ("Proven Innocence", "Edge Of Hell"), so there's
no lack on variety.
Might be that I don't recognise a vocal god
again, something some people have accused me of with more than one
American band, but this is the biggest weak point of PHANTOM LORD,
musically you cannot complain.
TRACKLIST:
Artist : Phantom Lord Country : Greece Release : Circle Of The Wasted Year : 2002 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info:
Along with speedy Power Metal, the band mixes in lots of keyboard
orchestrations and many of the vocal melodies, especially the choruses,
bear the instantly recognizable Michael Kiske style. Other Helloween
influences are found throughout as well, although not as obvious,
especially with some of the guitar playing. Some of the more slower
pounding heavy songs namely, the title track, Circle Of The Wasted even
have a Uriah Heep feel with the keyboards and heavy guitar riffs and
especially the multi-layered vocal harmonies. The Heep influence almost
brought chills down my spine when I heard the intro to Lust For Your
Touch. A nice piano is accompanied by vocals that I though for sure were
done by a resurrected David Byron!! (R.I.P.). Some of the riffing
really reminds me of older classic Mercyful Fate and the overall sound,
atmosphere and some Geoff Tate style vocals really reminds one of the
early days of Queensryche (Queensryche E.P. and The Warning). The first
listen to this band also brought back memories of the first time I heard
Angel Dust's Enlighten The Darkness album. The heavy riffing and
atmospheric keyboards used by Phantom Lord have a similar style to that
particular album.
TRACKLIST:
Artist : Phantom Lord Country : Greece Release : Evil's Domain Year : 2000 Genre : Heavy Metal File Type : mp3 320 Info:
Phantom Lord belongs to the Greek scene and after the very promising
In Twilight World, they are back with a brand new heavy/speed metal
chapter, Evil's Domain.
Reminding me Liege Lord, Phantom Lord's music
comes straight from the 80's. The production is honest, but I have to
point out that we are far from the excellent German or Swedish typical
production. The sound is a bit trapped and Phantom Lord should invest
more money on the production, because their songs are really great and
deserve a much better sound. Don't missunderstand me, the prod' is good,
but what would have become this Evil's Domain in the Abyss Studio ???
Solos
here and there, pitched vocals "a la" Joe Comeau (Liege Lord &
actual singer of Annihilator), fast rhythm, heavy metal riffs, this is
how I described this excellent Greek band. In a country where death /
black / dark metal bands usually see the light (Nightfall, Septic Flesh,
On Thorn I Lay) and having myself the same origin, I am very happy to
see a new heavy metal band ... out of Greece.
