The death crust commando strikes back – louder, fiercer, heavier…
‘Time And Tide‘ is here to crush everything in its path…
Since their formation in 2016, PHANTOM CORPORATION have been a relentless force in the extreme underground.
Forged by scene veterans from Bremen and Dortmund with backgrounds in Dew-Scented, Eroded, BK 49 and Weak Aside, the band has carved a reputation for fusing savage d-beat crust, punishing death metal and raw old-school thrash/punk into a devastating crossover sound.
After their debut mini album ‘First Commandment’ (2016), the furious EPs ‘Cause and Effect‘ (2017) and ‘Belligerent Powers‘ (2018), and the crushing split ‘Banner Of Hatred‘ (2022, with Swedish Harrowed), and the first full-length album ‘Fallout‘ (2023), the band is now ready to unleash their deadliest weapon yet:
the new album ‘Time And Tide‘, out in the final days of 2025 via Supreme Chaos Records.
Recorded and produced by Jörg Uken at Soundlodge Recording (God Dethroned, Temple Of Dread, etc.), ‘Time And Tide‘ raises the bar on every level.
Across 11 tracks, PHANTOM CORPORATION deliver a sonic assault that is both more diverse and more ruthless than ever before.
From neck-snapping thrash riffs and crust-driven blasts to bone-crushing death metal heaviness, this album is a war cry forged in rage and precision.
‘Sorcerer‘ the first song off ‘Time And Tide‘ has been released as a single.
The video-clip of this track was created by Costin Chioreanu, based on the album’s cover artwork designed by Skurktur.
PHANTOM CORPORATION checked in with the following comment about ‘Sorcerer‘:
“A dark, piercing and crusty Death Metal song. Lyrically inspired by the movie of the same title, ‘Sorcerer’ gathers various elements from the band’s trademark tool kit in a very direct approach and consequently offers a punishing first impression of our sophomore studio album ‘Time And Tide’.”
‘No penance left, no past undone. Damnation rides with everyone!‘ (Sorcerer Lyrics)

Death Crust the brutal way:
PHANTOM CORPORATION was started as new musical outlet for old buddies (Leif – Vocals, Philipp – Guitars, Arne – Guitars and Marc-Andree – Drums) from both the Northern (Bremen) and Ruhr-Area (Dortmund) of Germany, previously active in bands like Dew-Scented, Eroded, BK 49 or also Weak Aside in order to combine mean d-beat crust, some punishing death metal as well as good old school thrash/punk into an intense crossover result.
In October 2016, PHANTOM CORPORATION released a first mini album entitled ‘First Commandment‘, which showcases cover artwork by Michel ‘Away‘ Langevin (Voivod) as well as a guest-vocal appearance by Jason Netherton (Misery Index).
The 6 featured tracks were recorded and mixed by Klaus Spangenberg at Beatpoint Studio in Krefeld/Germany as well as mastered by Dan Swanö at Unisound Studio.
Next up, PHANTOM CORPORATION recorded 4 more new tracks (again with the Klaus Spangenberg/Dan Swanö team!) for two 7” EP projects:
The ‘Cause and Effect‘ 7″ EP, which was released in 2017 via Affront Records, and then the Split 7″ ‘Belligerent Powers‘ with Germany‘s Death Metal commando Slaughterday, which was released in 2018 via Bastardized Recordings.
Additionally, ‘First Commandment‘ was issued by the German label FTWCTP Records as 12″ Vinyl and a Southamerican version of the Mini-CD came out via Colombia’s Trauma Records.
2022 saw the release of the Split 12″/CD ‘Banner Of Hatred‘ with Sweden’s Death Metallers Harrowed via Supreme Chaos Records, as well as a change in line-up with Bass-T stepping out and Ulf (also live member in Slaughterday) joining the band on bass.
On the live-front, the CORPORATION is completed by Exumer/The Very End guitarist Marc and the group has by now appeared at selected festival events (Bloodshed, Ruhrpott Metal Meeting, Metal Bash, Obscene Extreme, Tombstoned Fest, etc.) and also shared various club-stages with acts like Trap Them, Venom Prison, Voivod, Asphyx, Midnight, Disbelief, Wiegedood or Krisiun.
On June 23rd, 2023 PHANTOM CORPORATION will release their first full-length ‘Fallout‘, which just like the split album was again produced by Jörg Uken at Soundlodge Recording (God Dethroned, Temple Of Dread, etc.) in Rhauderfehn, Northern Germany, via Supreme Chaos Records and continue to bring their very own brand of Death Crust punishment to the masses.
