**POTENTIAL SPOILERS**
Figured I’d post this here, as it seems to be the ‘official’ Phantom Antichrist thread. Over on the Metallica board someone posted a few articles in German and provided some translations. There’s also a tracklisting floating around but I’ve found no source for it, so it may not be correct:
1. Mars Mantra
2. Phantom Antichrist
3. Death to the World
4. From Flood into Fire
5. Civilization Collapse
6. United in Hate
7. The Few, The Proud, The Broken
8. Your Heaven - My Hell
9. Victory Will Come
10. Until Our Paths Cross Again
- title track has typical speed, new found precision, many breaks, beautiful leads, acoustic guitars, a catchy chorus, features female voices. There’s a mellotron in it & it has a surprising arrangement
- the lyrics of the title track are about media manipulation
- “Until…” is a little sad, almost like a ballad (lyrics are about death & the circle of life)
- riffs/songs are pretty fast & hard to play
- “The few…” has a military feel to it (lyrics are about the Arab Spring)
- album has been recorded “live”, like HOC but this time with overdubs
