Fantazmaz Release New Single & Video “Distortion”

Last month, Fantazmaz announced their debut self-titled album will be released on July 4th via their own Ghetto Bitch Records imprint and shared a thirty-second blast of fury called Dead On The Way Home. This month they follow it up with a track that doubles the run time to just over a minute, for the rampant and unbridled power of their new single, Distortion. The track was originally written right after the pandemic lockdowns as a primal scream of anger, the title reflects the distortion of the reality we’re living in, it’s musical power cut with an explosive dark waltz rhythm. Fantazmaz‘s debut album can be pre-ordered on CD and white vinyl here.

Formed in 2019 by Thami and guitarist Raf Oliver, Fantazmaz found their raw, unrelenting sound with the addition of bassist Chokito and former UK Subs drummer Jamie Oliver. Blending blistering punk energy with a fearless stage presence, they’ve quickly built a reputation for their no-holds-barred performances. Now based in the UK, Fantazmaz are gearing up for a wild summer, hitting Rebellion Festival and a string of European shows before heading back to their homeland of Brazil for a run of explosive gigs. With their debut album on the horizon and a relentless tour schedule ahead, Fantazmaz are poised to make their mark in a very big way.

“The album is angry and frustrated, pretty much because we don’t see a future. Chances are slim that we’re getting out of this global mess, and honestly, we don’t care much about explaining why. It’s right there for everyone to see. That’s the sentiment, listen to the album. We recorded the whole thing in two days at Monolith Studio. It was straightforward and honest, first day for drums, second day for guitars, bass, and vocals. The songs had been written for a while, and we just thought, why the hell not drop a full album? So, we went in and laid it down, raw and real. This is our first full album, and we’re bloody excited for it to finally come out.” (vocalist Thami)
