Decibel magazine's website . Set for international release on
April 23rd via Edged Circle Productions on 7" vinyl and cassette tape formats
, hear Phantom Fire 's
Return of the Goat in its entirety exclusively
HERE .
A brand-new entity hailing from Bergen,
Phantom Fire includes members from such bands as Gaahls Wyrd and Krakow, but on evidence of their first public recording, the two-song
Return of the Goat ,
Phantom Fire are definitely their OWN band! Hard-rocking, hard-charging, reeking of rust and diesel, here do
Phantom Fire kick out two jams of lithe 'n' lethal metal blackened to a crisp. And while so many nowadays "retro" bands head straight to the party,
Phantom Fire are intent on ruining that party, spreading black leathery wings wide and ominously.
A unique take on the traditional,
Return of the Goat is a deadly auspicious first start, and the title track's a tasty preview of
Phantom Fire 's forthcoming debut album,
The Bust of Beelzebub , due out early September via
Edged Circle . You've been warned!
In the leadup to its international release this Friday, stream Return of the Goat in its entirety exclusively HERE , courtesy of Decibel , North America's only monthly metal magazine. Preorder info can be found HERE at Edged Circle 's Bandcamp. Cover and tracklisting are as follows:
