Phantomy was formed in 2020, when the band members decided to start a group that would play heavy music with skill — but without forgetting the spirit of rock’n’roll. For the past few years, the band has been laying the groundwork for their debut album, playing occasional shows mainly in their hometown area. Now, that work has finally paid off, and the band is gearing up to release From the Wild.
The band’s drummer Herkko Lappalainen gives some background on the album and its creation:
“We started making this album after a couple of years of playing together and doing gigs, and we approached it the old-school DIY way, recording whenever and wherever we could. The end result is a brutally raw and gritty-sounding record that definitely brings a fresh kick to both the Finnish and international rock’n’roll and heavy metal scenes. Our goal was to create a proper album experience — packed with catchy songs and full-throttle energy — but also to capture that dangerous, unpredictable feeling both in the performances and the sound itself. To achieve that, we ditched the click track and heavy-handed editing right from the start.”
The album’s two singles, High Octane and Wild Jungle Woman, represent the catchier and more accessible side of the record, but guitarist Eetu Räsänen promises there’s plenty more to discover:
“In a way, the album turned out pretty interesting because, even though every song is clearly rooted in classic heavy metal, they all have their own vibe. When you listen to the whole album, it feels a bit like a wild ride through different territories. You get a bit of everything — from the melodic rock’n’roll chaos of High Octane to the leather-clad heavy riffs of The Freezing Moon, from the punk-fueled madness of From the Wild to the epic ballad atmosphere of Bad Blood.”
To support the album, Phantomy will also hit the road for a string of shows across Finland, with more details to be announced on the band’s social media channels.
