Slovakian blackened death metallers PHANTASMA will unveil their fifth full-length album, "Book Of Phantasma", on Halloween via Apocrypha Records. Described as "44 minutes of punishing, blasphemous, hate-filled anthems in the vein of such hellish acts as BEHEMOTH and ZYKLON, with each track representing a dark, haunting chapter of the menacing "Book Of Phantasma"," the CD demonstrates how PHANTASMA has progressed, both in technicality and songwriting ability, since its last, critically acclaimed release, the "Alternativa 666" EP.

John MacMurphy, who manages Apocrypha Records, commented: "Much like "Alternativa 666", their first release with us, "Book Of Phantasma" continues to impress with its the dark melodies over technical brutal riffs . These guys really perfected their own modern take on the blackened death Metal genre."

"Book Of Phantasma" track listing:

01. "Prophet"
02. "Riders"
03. "Warrior"
04. "Dragon"
05. "Menagerie"
06. "King"
07. "Ave Satanas 5"
08. "Madness"
09. "Execution"
10. "Revenge"
11. "Destroyed, Cause He Believed"
