FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: (THURSDAY APRIL 10TH 200
HEAVY ARTILLERY ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF LIMITED EDITION PHANTOM
WITCH MINI LP
Since their inception in early 2006, Indiana’s PHANTOM WITCH have carved themselves a
niche combining the influences of traditional heavy metal, NWOBHM and the riffage of speed
metal to hammer out some of the most raw, honest heavy fucking metal this side of 1986. The
buzz created by their self-released four song demo caught the attention of New York’s HEAVY
ARTILLERY RECORDS with whom PHANTOM WITCH have teamed up to release their selftitled
debut, a vinyl-only six-song Mini LP. The mini-LP will be limited to 500 copies and
available exclusively from independent record stores, the band’s live shows and directly from the
label.
Founding members Rick Cope (vocals and bass) and David Phelps (guitars) met when Rick was
first drawn to the sound of Phelps' shrieking guitar solos emanating from the amp room at Guitar
Works in Greenwood, Indiana. The duo was joined by Bob Fouts behind the drum kit and
PHANTOM WITCH as we know it was born. Culling their influences by bands such as Slayer,
Running Wild, Sodom and Jag Panzer, PHANTOM WITCH quickly made a name for
themselves with their unique metal attack, opening for local and national headliners such as The
Gates of Slumber, Merciless Death, Skeleton Witch and Demiricous. Look for PHANTOM
WITCH on tour in late summer 2008, dates coming soon.
The self titled mini LP from PHANTOM WITCH will hit streets on June 10th 2008.
