Mexican metal band Phantom releases third album “Not Midnight Yet”
Mexican speed‑thrash band Phantom from Guadalajara issued their third full‑length album, Not Midnight Yet, in 2026 through High Roller Records. The record was recorded and mixed by Héctor “Northen” Ibarra at Nehtron Studios in Guadalajara and mastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple of Disharmony in Germany.
Critics note the album refines the band’s aggressive style with more varied pacing and composition. Tracks such as “Hordes of Bats”, “Dracula’s Curse” and “The Pale Remains of Time” showcase a blend of rapid riffs, mid‑tempo grooves and occasional melodic passages, positioning the release as Phantom’s most solid and mature work to date.
