Phantom is a Speed/Thrash Metal band from Guadalajara, Jalisco – México formed in 2021 by Guitar player and singer J.C García (a.k.a “Necrohex”). Inspired by the roots of the genre, merging styles that go from Traditional HM, Speed Metal, Deathrash, and also gathering influences from other places, like Latin rock, and also elements from old NES games music, the band quickly trascended the Mexican border and became a force to be reckoned with internationally.
After a series of early demos, the band released it’s first album “Handed to Execution” in late 2023, followed by the “Transylvanian Nightmare” EP, (2024) – Which landed the band a contract with German label High Roller Records, and which led to the release of their sophomore album “Tyrants of Wrath” in 2025 and now also the upcoming third record – “Not Midnight Yet”, both of these records supported by international tours, playing in festivals such as Keep it True Rising, Obscene Extreme, Hell’s Heroes, Thrash Nightmare and Wacken Open Air.
Phantom handles themes that go from Vampirism, Horror, Dark Fantasy and revenge, to personal situations and thoughts. All of it backed by an intense, aggressive, raw but also prolific & complex sound and structure.
for the dead now thirst and the living tremble – Phantom are the SPEED METAL NOSFERATUS, and they are coming to take you.
