Review: Phantomy "From the Wild"
A hard rock force unleashing their raw debut album
From the deep woods of Iisalmi, Finland, emerges Phantomy, a hard rock force unleashing their raw debut album on June 13th via Inverse Records. This quintet—Samu Karhu (vocals), Eetu Räsänen (guitar), Rasmus Laurila (guitar), Roope Lappalainen (bass), and Herkko Lappalainen (drums)—forged their sound in smoky garages since 2020, prioritizing rock’n’roll spirit alongside technical prowess.
Recorded DIY-style without click tracks or heavy editing, the album drips with brutal, gritty authenticity, capturing what drummer Herkko Lappalainen calls that "dangerous, unpredictable feeling." Singles "High Octane" and "Wild Jungle Woman" hint at the record’s accessibility, but the full experience is a wild ride: from melodic chaos to leather-clad riffs in "The Freezing Moon," punk-fueled title-track madness, and the epic balladry of "Bad Blood." Guitarist Eetu Räsänen nails it—each track roots in classic metal yet carves its own territory.
The band’s live energy promises Finnish tour dates soon, with details via their socials. This isn’t just an album; it’s a declaration from Finland’s wilderness, demanding your attention.
