Description/Reviews: 

...All is Phantom draws more on the epic nature of progressive rock and the dramatic thrill of bands like Marillion. But it also layers those ideas on top of frequent blast beats, prominent strings, thick guitars and much more that comes from metal and its approach to the avant-garde. In short, it’s a wild ride of an album which leaves us beggared for an exact definition.

Description/Reviews: 

Though “no comparison” might be a stretch, Nacht has real uniqueness in its delivery. Incorporating elements from Shining, this South Korean one-man outfit is thick with depression, like a puddle of blood pooling below slicing razors. Within a few moments of opener, “My Little Dark Paradise,” I am immediately hooked. This eight-minute beauty showcases everything from emotion-laden BM chords, classic raspiness, some V-Halmstad-era Shining sorrow, and even hooky Muse-like vocals. On top of the overall atmosphere of the song, you’ll also find a mellow Shining-meets-Opeth piano section at 4:27 and an addictively gothy power metal chorus. Somehow Nacht delivers all of these harsh-to-soft transitions seamlessly without being overly “progressive.”
