Description:
Phantasm began a journey of innovative hard rock in Western New York in late 2002. Since the beginning, their sound has pushed musical conventions with a strong focus on dynamics, song variation, and bending the rules of music making.
Phantasm brandishes a powerful sound, described as modern rock, demented pop, and alt-avant, more than worthy of any repeat button. Matched with high-energy unconventional stage presence, such as the Three-Man Bass Solo, "six hands, five strings, three men, one bass"; Phantasm flexes pure rock muscle from first note to last applause.
Their very first performance crowned them winners of Jamestown Community College's Battle of the Bands in spring 2003. Sharing the stage with Fastball for their third performance, Phantasm gained the momentum to head into the studio. This album was never released as part of an artistic decision to fit their constantly evolving sound. The newly crafted "Enter The Phantasm" EP features tracks that showcase the diverse creative talents of this band.
