'Phantom of War' tells the story of how I became entangled in someone else’s war against themselves - a fight I never chose, but was thrown into nonetheless.
I was left with two choices: do nothing and be defeated… or stand up and fight back in self-defence. Which I did..
'Phantom of War' is a song about survival, bravery and standing up for yourself.. "Your fight, not my fall"!
If you too are in a fight that isn’t yours.. let this song be your battle cry! ⚔️
The stunning artwork by @teradiamart captures the moment I pick up the axe, still shaken and baffled, but ready to strike back.
'Phantom of War' is a real-life story from my more recent past, turned into a powerful anthem. It is the sixth song from my symphonic metal solo album 'Soulward Bound' and features..
