Phantom Debuts New Single, ‘Summoned To Kill,’ Companion Video

By: Philip Sayblack

​Phantom will release its latest album this summer.
The band announced Thursday in a news release, it is scheduled to release its third album, Not Midnight Yet June 26 via High Roller Records. In anticipation of the album’s release, the band, Thursday, debuted the album’s second single, ‘Summoned To Kill’ and the song’s companion video. The premiere follows that of the album’s lead single, ‘Dracula’s Curse‘ in March.
The musical arrangement featured in ‘Summoned To Kill’ is a clear departure from that of ‘Dracula’s Curse.’ That is because as with much of the music featured in the band’s 2025 sophomore album, Tyrants of Wrath, the song is pure, old school metal. The familiar influence of Slayer is just as much on display here as is influence of the likes of Exodus. That whole makes the song overall a fully engaging and entertaining new offering from Phantom.
Information regarding the song’s lyrical theme was not provided in the news release announcing the debut of the new single and video. Information was also not provided with the song’s old school style video, either.
Speaking of the video, it is old school in that it features the band on what is meant to look like an old VHS tape being played on an older television. That presentation adds even more to sense of nostalgia that the song is sure to instill in audiences.
