THE SECOND STUDIO ALBUM OF COLD & PRIMITIVE MID-PACED NORWEGIAN BLACK METAL, PRESENTED ON THE VINYL FORMAT FOR THE FIRST TIME.

Norwegian black metal band Khold formed in Oslo in the year 2000 by Gard & Sarke (also known from his own, self-named act, alongside Darkthrone’s Nocturno Culto). Khold is what emerged out of the ashes of the cult band, Tulus. Khold has recorded 6 albums to date & have successfully toured with bands such as Satyricon & Behemoth in the past. Khold is also notable for their use of old Norse for song-titles & lyrics.

Phantom was Kholds second album, released in 2002 on Moonfog Productions, just one year on from their debut Masterpiss of Pain. The tracks on offer were once again a fine concoction of mid-paced, often groove-laden black metal, with old-school riffing, & a prominent bass presence helping to drive the tracks along. Khold quickly became firmly established in the black metal world as a serious force in this newer wave of Norwegian acts.

This edition of Phantom is presented on vinyl for the first time & contains inner sleeve featuring lyrics.
