Ep. 205 Phantasm
from Quince Questions? Hosted by Quincy Stallworth
Phantasm is a Philly-based heavy, alternative-rock band producing intricate, melodic songs in avant-garde stylings reminiscent of Muse, Royal Blood, Tool, and The Dillinger Escape Plan. Their latest single, Spirit Box (Tuned To You), is set to release Friday, June 10, 2022, on all major streaming platforms. The song was inspired by real-life experiences using a spirit box to connect with the metaphysical in this dimension and the world beyond. The device receives messages of spiritual entities woven through a musical pattern, emitting rhythmic bursts with distinct chopping and fragmented AM radio signals. Although experimenting with the gadget may have been the original inspiration for the song, Spirit Box (Tuned To You), is a metaphor and commentary on the digital age we live in today. Originally hailing from Western New York, Phantasm first hit the music scene in 2003 and later relocated to Philadelphia, PA. With onstage exploits, such as sampling their music live and using power tools as instruments, the band's explosive performance has taken innovation to a new level. They balance a sophisticated, avant-garde metal edge with a powerful, straightforward rock foundation. After releasing their last album, Phantasm has spent the last two years writing an album demonstrating their refined approach to a progressive 90's rock sound.
