Phantoma is the sixth studio album by Canadian power metal group Unleash the Archers, released by Napalm Records on 10 May 2024.
Drawing on familiar tropes of humanity's disregard for its home, the impacts of its creations and the "manufactured sheen of social-media posturing.
Trad-metal influenced 'Buried in Code' lights the way with pummeling rhythms before the album's path turns dark on heavy metal hardened 'The Collective,' with Brittney Slayes' warm tones inviting the listener to 'join or stand aside'!
Hair-raising first single 'Green & Glass' unveils the truth before the upbeat '80s flavored 'Gods in Decay' and the extraordinary balladic anthem 'Give It Up or Give It All' showcase the varied songwriting prowess of Unleash the Archers' modern era.
A trifecta of concept closers begins with the moody 'Ghosts in the Mist,' leading into the soaring yet menacing "Seeking Vengeance" before closing with the bittersweet tale of 'Blood Empress.
