Phantom Corporation

Phantom Corporation emerged in 2016 from the merger of two German metal strongholds: Bremen and Dortmund. The formation unites scene veterans with impressive pedigrees - members from Dew-Scented, Eroded, BK 49, Weak Aside, Slaughterday, and Obscenity forged a new alliance of extremity. Their sound fuses merciless d-beat crust with lashing death metal passages and raw old-school thrash/punk into an uncompromising crossover assault.

The band's first signs of life came with the mini-album First Commandment (2016), followed by the furious EPs Cause And Effect (2017) and Belligerent Powers (2018, split with Slaughterday). The split release Banner Of Hatred (2022) with Swedish crust veterans Harrowed definitively established Phantom Corporation in the international extreme metal scene. The breakthrough came in 2023 with their debut album Fallout, which caused a sensation among critics and fans alike.

The new album Time And Tide (2025, Supreme Chaos Records) marks the provisional peak of their evolution. Produced by Jörg Uken at the renowned Soundlodge Studios (known for work with God Dethroned, Temple Of Dread), the band presents itself more uncompromising than ever. The eleven tracks unite racing thrash riffs with crust attacks and death metal brutality into an apocalyptic manifesto. Songs like "Frantic Disruption" and "Western Apocalypse" demonstrate the stylistic range between neck-snapping thrash and bone-crushing death metal heaviness.

The current lineup around vocalist Leif, guitarists Philipp and Arne, bassist Ulf, and drummer Marc embodies the perfect balance between technical precision and raw aggression. Phantom Corporation have made a name for themselves as a "Death Crust Commando" and stand for uncompromising extreme metal without respite. Their approach combines the savage intensity of classic crust punk with the technical sophistication of modern death metal, creating a sonic assault that refuses to compromise.
