Who is

Phantasmagoria is an independent alternative metal band formed in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The band consists of four members and was officially established in 2024.

They released their debut single, “Mars” in December 2024, showcasing their signature heavy sound built around distorted guitars, aggressive rhythms, and a raw, DIY production style.

The band recently released their first EP, and features a mix of dark, heavy sound while experimenting with structure and melodic tone. The project is self-recorded and produced.

Phantasmagoria exists to challenge the system, speak honestly, and make music that actually means something. They're not here to play it safe—and they never will be.
