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”.
