│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ PHANTOM-X is an American Power Metal band that ║ │
│║ was formed in Dallas, Texas in 2004 by then OMEN ║ │
│║ singer and bass player, Kevin Goocher and Glenn ║ │
│║ Malicki. They had been playing together for fun ║ │
│║ around their hometown in a Ronnie James Dio ║ │
│║ tribute band called STARGAZER. When OMEN took a ║ │
│║ 2 year hiatus, Goocher and Malicki decided to ║ │
│║ turn the STARGAZER project into what is now ║ │
│║ PHANTOM-X. In 2005, they released their debut ║ │
│║ album ôRise of the Phantomö. The album became ║ │
│║ number 7 on the German Metal charts Heavy. ôRise ║ │
│║ of the Phantomö includes the first chapters of ║ │
│║ the Phantom storyline. In 2006, they released ║ │
│║ the follow up album ôStorm Ridersö, which ║ │
│║ contains Chapters 5,6 and 7 of the Phantom saga. ║ │
│║ After the release of this album, Kevin Goocher ║ │
│║ and Glenn Malicki parted ways with their drummer ║ │
│║ and guitarist. In 2010, PHANTOM-X released ôThis ║ │
│║ Is Warö to much acclaim. This album allowed the ║ │
│║ band their first headlining tour and contains ║ │
│║ Chapters 8, 9 and 10. Now in 2012 they release ║ │
│║ their fourth studio album, ôThe Opera of the ║ │
│║ Phantomö,which is a concept album based on their ║ │
│║ Phantom storyline that contains the previous ║ │
│║ Chapters that were released in previous albums ║ │
│║ along with three new songs that wrap up that ║ │
│║ storyline and three new ôindependentö songs from ║ │
│║ the overall story arc. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The album starts with the song ôStorms from ║ │
│║ Hellö that sets up the Phantom storyline that ║ │
│║ will follow on until the final chapter ôHoly ║ │
│║ Hellö, it is a Metal journey of non-stopping ║ │
│║ awesome riffs and finger-breaking solos. After ║ │
│║ that we have three songs that arenÆt part of the ║ │
│║ concept of the album but, nonetheless, are ║ │
│║ played with just as perfection as the previous ║ │
│║ ones, with special mention to ôYour Majestyö a ║ │
│║ tribute song to Ronnie James Dio, one of the ║ │
│║ greatest singers and persons to walk this earth. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Only one word can be used to describe this ║ │
│║ album: masterpiece. From its high operatic ║ │
│║ vocals delivered by Goocher, who is among the ║ │
│║ greatest Metal singers of all time, to the ║ │
│║ monstrous riffs and blistering guitar solos of ║ │
│║ Bill Engfer, to the rhythmic parts of bass and ║ │
│║ drums, that not only keep the songs tight but ║ │
│║ they also add their own flavor to the songs, ║ │
│║ this is a modern masterpiece of the Power Metal ║ │
│║ subgenre. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Lineup: ║ │
│║ Kevin Goocher- Vocals, Keys ║ │
│║ Bill Engfer - Guitar ║ │
│║ Glenn Malicki - Bass ║ │
│║ Reece Stanley û Drums ║ │
