Phantoms
04:00
|

Revel in this night of power
We emerge from beyond
Brass bell, it chimes the hour
We’ve waited for so long
Under the veil of darkness
The brethren heed the call
In the dim halls of ancient fortress
Congregation has begun
They feast, they prance, hidden from the eyes
of mortal ignorants
Unbound from eternity’s wait they taste
once again the flavor of life
Indulged in the pleasures of long lost flesh
like hounds that’ve been set free
When midnight strikes they drop their guise of false morality
Dancing in the shadows
As the mist engulfs the halls
The waltz of the dead resounds with dread within the castle’s walls
Sudden came the news delighting the host of hungry souls
The feast’s drawn unexpected guests
the Phantoms now rejoice
The clock drifts away from midnight
The time is growing short
Croaks fill the endless chambers
The chase has now begun
Corridors shine in moonlight
As the stairways twist and turn
Laughters are coming closer
There’s no return
With the rising sun and the rooster’s crow
the ghosts run out of time
The feast concludes and the hosts depart
leaving none of the visitors alive
When the stars align in the gloomy sky
once more, they’ll be set free
To roam the walls and taste the life
stolen by eternity

Greatest of Sinners
03:35
|
|||
|
Blessed by the Pope
He wore a red robe
Obediently lead you to death
I see all your sins
You won't even scream
I am the best of the beasts
Come on, just one chop
Like butcher with pork
your head will roll like a ball
You were a blasphemer
The greatest of sinners
You better start praying for grace
He's the tormentor
judge and jury
Doling out suffering
unleashing fury
His merciless hand
no mercy to show
In the realm of the wicked
justice will flow
He's the tormentor
judge and jury
Doling out suffering
unleashing fury
His merciless hand
no mercy to show
In the realm of the wicked
justice will flow
No one escapes him
his grip won't relent
Through the depths of despair
his justice is sent
He knows no remorse
his duty unyielding
A haunting presence
his power revealing
He walks with pride
his anger feared
A master of torment
his purpose is clear
In the realm of darkness
where shadows dwell
A figure emerges
the bringer of hell
He's the tormentor
judge and jury
Doling out suffering
unleashing fury
His merciless hand
no mercy to show
In the realm of the wicked
justice will flow
He's the tormentor
judge and jury
Doling out suffering
unleashing fury
His merciless hand
no mercy to show
In the realm of the wicked
justice will flow
Blessed by the Pope
He wore a red robe
Obediently lead you to death
I see all your sins
You won't even scream
I am the best of the beasts
Come on, just one chop
Like butcher with pork
your head will roll like a ball
You were a blasphemer
The greatest of sinners
You better start praying for grace

Under Gypsy's Spell
05:09
|
|||
|
To moisty everglades, off the city lights, I wandered assured
Woman and her crystal ball with a sight to predestiny my fate
Fool were I to trust the mongers on the streets
Life spin has dragged me down, I was driven to change it all
Rumors of the ways to make a fortune
Greed has doomed and sealed my spirit
Gypsy's spell has been cast on me!
Wooden carriage greeted me with heavy purple curtain to cover its secrets
Contract in boiling blood, pretty woman’s eyes shined so bright
Rumors of the ways to make a fortune
Greed has doomed and sealed my spirit
Gypsy's spell has been cast on me!
Your trick has stopped my heartbeat but I say nothing
Temporary slave to the bewitching tactics, soon to break free
Visions and delusions, fractal spheres circle round and round
Round and round
Sapphire particles, spinning stars and lights to soulbound
To soulbound
Touch of her deceit!
Final damage and my body plays forevermore in her service
Cursed in eternity, fool were I to trust the mongers on the streets
Rumors of the ways to make a fortune
Greed has doomed and sealed my spirit
Gypsy's spell has been cast on me

Bane Of Brook Hall
05:23
|
|||
|
Bane of Brook Hall - the man I came to be
The tales of my depravity roam the nooks of history
Once a squire oathsworn to the glamour of the Crown
Until I switched allegiance to the one below the ground
Hunter, beast of prey, I terrorise the lands
of Dartmoor, its parish and its inhabitants
Accompanied by bloodhounds, into the night I ride
With claws like knives and fangs as sharp, there’s nowhere to hide
And the tale lives on and on
And the howls ring on and on
As the chase goes on and on
Under the beast’s guise
The Bane of Brook Hall
As time has passed and fruitless hunts began to prevail
Unruly squire turned his gaze to yet another, bigger prey
Soon the folk of Dartmoor spoke only of he-who-hunts
Of missing maidens trampled under countless sets of paws
Horror, dread, in our hearts is living free
With squire’s slow descent into the bowels of insanity
Time will tell if nightmare’s end is soon to be seen
If death will claim this erring man guilty of the most obscene
And the tale lives on and on
And the howls ring on and on
As the chase goes on and on
Under the beast’s guise
The Bane of Brook Hall
Anticipated end at last came with the dawning day
When the now old squire gave in bed his final, last breath away
Time has come to let go of fear rooted in our hearts
And put the damned remains deep into the graveyard grounds
At burial’s night the lights were dim and crowd was very scarce
But the ceremonial night has drawn the presence of another forceParade of dogs - companions to the late nobility
With shrieking cries they bid farewell to their master of depravity
And the tale lives on and on
And the howls ring on and on
And the legend lives on and on
Under the beast’s guise
The Bane of Brook Hall

Santa Muerte
05:25
|
|||
|
Devil's laughed in the face of saints
as the death walked out of the shrine
Black-clad men on the mission to eliminate
There's no place to hide
Sacrosanct, the mother in black
Blessed the hunters' guns
Lawless paradox – the cartel demands
To have justice paid in your blood
(Swift strike)
Headhunt's began, the hounds caught your scent
(At your back)
Trapped in the alleyway, butchered and maimed
(Attack)
The edge of the blade cuts right through the flesh
No hands, no legs, no tongue and no eyes
Warrant has been signed in the name of mistress in black
Paralyzed with fear, the throat runs dry
About to be sliced with the edge of the knife
Santa Muerte – the patron of death
Goddess to the ones who will take your last breath
Tomorrow never comes to those who are marked
The trial without witnesses is about to start
Santa Muerte – blasphemous maid
For sins against the sinners, the price to be paid
Bow, before her Majesty
Her Grace in blackest cloak
The henchmen come to claim your head
Death's touch turns blood so cold
Screams resonate in alleyways
Answered with total silence
Alas, the prey meets its end
In the underworld of violence
Paralyzed with fear, the throat runs dry
About to be sliced with the edge of the knife
Santa Muerte – the patron of death
Goddess to the ones who will take your last breath
Tomorrow never comes to those who are marked
The trial without witnesses is about to startSanta Muerte – blasphemous maid
For sins against the sinners, the price to be paid

The Last Road
03:36
|
|||
|
Moment before the eternal sleep, the activity drops
Eyes, they turn so absent, staring to the void
Rush of memories keeps together disintegrating self
It's just the last walk my dear, denial is in vain
Knock knock, my name is Death
I'm coming for your soul
Give up your empty body
I'll show you last road
Knock knock, the doorbell rings
With the notes of your last song
Take my hand and pay back
The debt of life you owe
Tunnel vision, still imprisoned In flesh that fades away
The shade watches over me, as I fight to stay awake
Time grows short, I count my deeds as if something could be done
I grasp the hand outstretched to me, rotten to the bone
Knock knock, thy name is Death
You've come for my soul
I'll give up my body
Just show me the last road
Knock knock, the doorbell rings
With the notes of my last song
I'll take your hand and pay back
The debt of life I owe
The curtain falls as you give up your ghost into my arms
The curtain falls as you give up your ghost into my arms
The curtain falls as I give up my ghost into your arms

Thralls of the Crescent
03:52
|
|||
|
Grasped by the arms of darkness
I succumb to the powers divine
Torn from the rest (we arise from the mounds)
Forlorn and damned (as we rip through the grounds)
Enthralled by the spell we come back from the dead
Brought back to life with grinning lament
As thralls of the crescent
Shining moonlight will now guide me
Enslaved I take every command
Deluded and tantalized now
Frost and agony to be my fate
Torn in between (neither dead nor alive)
Eyes pale and grim (we stray from the sun)
With the daylight giving out its hindmost breath
We arise from the grounds with grinning lament
As thralls of the crescent
Drawn by the moon (lunar rays spoil the land)
Into the night (beams close our sight)
Eternal death please embrace me tight
Forevermore cursed with grinning lament
As thralls of the crescent

...the Horde
06:25
|
|||
|
Whispering wind brought forth the thundering
beat of hooves, ripping the silent night
Moment lasted so long, as we laid in wait
to meet the unrecognised foe
In the times of war, when the pawns on the chess table
clash without rest, it us - the mob of the poor
who pay in blood and death price not of our own
With the sound of the horn they began their descent
through the crops and the lands which our fathers have grown
Putting the fields on fire and folk to the sword
Without hesitance
Razed from existence
Gods of war demand
Blood to soak the grounds
Savage host struck down with unrivalled might
tearing the ramparts down
The flames grew higher as the remnants of night
began to give its way to the rays of light -
sharp as the knives that tore us apart
amidst the cinders glistening so bright
Facing our fall, end of us all,
The forthcoming dawn brought no respite
Skies filled with cries
Yet no man shed a tear
Countless lives were falling like flies
Under the orders of the foreign king
Blood drenched the streets
Glowing timber sung with woe
From brimstone and night
They emerged to fight
The enemy - The Horde
Smouldering ruins of once blooming land
stood wrecked, in ghastly silence
torn by the swings of the blade brought down
upon the ones who were yet to fall
Those who were spared from the sword gripping hand
found their fates to be served in chains -
Shackled and thrown, into the crackling cartsheaded far away from home
With a mighty roar, the force set off to the west,
where the next village rests in the forests of old
Unaware of the fate that awaits them to befall
With the thundering beat of the rolling stampede
rode the sinister wind with whispers untold
of lands put to the fire and folk slain by the sword
Skies filled with cries
Yet no man shed a tear
Countless lives were falling like flies
Under the orders of the foreign king
Blood drenched the streets
Glowing timber sung with woe
From brimstone and night
They emerged to fight
The enemy - The Horde
Skies filled with cries
Yet no man shed a tear
Countless lives were falling like flies
Under the orders of the foreign king
Blood drenched the streets
Glowing timber sung with woe
From brimstone and night
They emerged to fight
The enemy - The Horde

about
DYING VICTIMS PRODUCTIONS is proud to present the highly anticipated second album of Poland’s PANDEMIC, Phantoms, on CD and vinyl LP formats.
Born from the cold, concrete streets of Krakow, Poland’s PANDEMIC are an old-school thrash/speed metal band that have been a rising force in the underground scene since their formation in 2015. Despite facing a rocky start with frequent lineup changes, a founder's death, and periods of inactivity, PANDEMIC found their footing in 2018 with a solid lineup.
Their debut EP, Deaf Nite, dropped in September 2018, serving up four blistering tracks that showcased PANDEMIC's raw power and aggression. Staying true to their roots, they followed up with the single Where The Devil Says Goodnite in 2020, a two-track release. By 2023, the band had finally released their first full-length, Crooked Mirror. PANDEMIC’s relentless pace continued with the recording of their second album, Phantoms, in early 2024.
Pushing the boundaries of their sound and further establishing their place in the Polish metal underground, PANDEMIC’s second album should surely spread their name across the international metal map. Neither too conveniently classified as thrash nor as speed metal, Phantoms marries thrashing riffs to a dynamic style of metal that indeed speeds from time to time but, more often than not, has the gleaming contours and drama of paradigmatic ‘80s power-thrash. The deeper one goes into Phantoms, the more he will find PANDEMIC’s mastery spread across differing styles of songcraft; while everything coalesces into a unified album experience, each song here maintains its own unique character rather than simply repeating the same formula for eight-plus tracks. Credit for that comes through each member bringing a distinct pedigree to the table, with guitarist Wiktor Łobarzewski also shredding for GALLOWER, fellow six-stringer Marcin Konieczny laying down the riffs for Roadhog, and drummer Filip Worek beating the skins for Horned Cült. Completed by bassist Gniewko Jelski’s rough and rowdy but articulate vocals, PANDEMIC are the proverbial well-oiled machine – with oil of ‘80s vintage, of course!
Primed to take that machine further, be it the underground festivals they’ve been tearing up or shows on domestic soil, PANDEMIC hereby unleash Phantoms!

I am absolutely elated to have found this band. The music is pure magic, plain and simple, I feel completely captivated by it. Every song paints such a rich painting in my head, the vocal harmonies and melodies could bring a tear into my eye. It's incredibly hard to pick a single song from this album as my favourite, but there is something about Ruined Garden which rips my heart to shreds in the best of ways, something about it feels so appropriately beautiful and ancient.
