Review
Phantom Elite's "Titanium" is an absolute powerhouse of an album that dives headfirst into a thrilling concoction of progressive rock, heavy metal, and symphonic elements. Right from the get-go, this album grabs you with a gentle piano that soon erupts into an all-out sonic assault, setting a high bar for the tracks that follow. It's a record that demands attention, unfurling more layers and musical nuances with each listen, showcasing the band's knack for striking transitions and mood variations.
Lyrically, "Titanium" hits hard with some of the most passionate and poignant words Phantom Elite has ever penned. The title track itself is a monstrous overture of their progressive metal chops, lasting over seven and a half minutes of pure intensity. The album's sound is further enriched by its diverse arrangements, from Middle-Eastern touches to complex guitar solos that weave through the tracks, making the listening experience all the more exhilarating. Coupled with potent vocal deliveries and a mix of infectious melodies and hefty metal components, "Titanium" isn't just a celebration of genre-blending; it's a robust, all-encompassing journey that promises to catapult Phantom Elite to new heights. - Courtney
