Phantomy from Iisalmi, Finland is set to release their debut album From the Wild on June 13th 2025 via Inverse Records.The band has unleashed the second single from the record, titled Wild Jungle Woman. Both the upcoming album and the new single offer listeners screeching guitar riffs, rumbling bass lines, and stadium-sized choruses delivered loud and proud.

The band’s drummer Herkko Lappalainen shares behind-the-scenes insights on the new single:


“I was sick at home and this song was born from a fever-fueled guitar jam session, which resulted in the creation of the intro riff. I thought the riff was so stupidly simple that we just had to turn it into a song. I recorded the demo on the spot, and Eetu came up with great lyrics and melodies for it. The end result was a rock’n’roll banger packed with all the essentials — shredding guitars, double bass drums, and big vocal hooks.”

(novi post – recenzija) Road Rats – Road Rats

Leave a comment

Road Rats su novi bend iz Zagreba, power trio u kojem svira File, gitarist Krive Istine, samo ovdje osim gitare je preuzeo i vokalne dužnosti. Pjevanje je dobro, glas je taman dovoljno nešto između harsh promuklog i prati melodije odlično. Na ovom izdanju se nalazi ukupno 5 stvari. Muzika koju Road Rats praše je nešto između prljavog rocka, garage punka i ponešto speed rocka, no nije još jedan od Motorhead klonova, ako ste se preplašili toga. Stvari su energične, tjeraju šaku da pumpa zrakom, žestoke, a dovoljno catchy da nađu mjesto u uhu i srcu nas ljubitelja melodije. Tekstovi su na engleskom, a pozdravljam i korištenje sampleova u meni najboljoj stvari na ovom izdanju, a to je San Venganza čija sredina me podsjeća na dobar stari prljavi spaghetti western. Od ostalih pjesama koje ovdje moram napomenuti kao highlighte su Runaway i Full Speed Ahead. Ovo je zakon izdanje i moram negdje uhvatiti ovaj bend uživo, ziher sam da opako zvuče live.
