Californian stoner/grunge/hard rock act Phantom Hound release title track from new album »From Boom Town To Ghost Town«

Oakland, California based stoner/grunge/hard rock act Phantom Hound has released the second single and title track from their upcoming album »From Boom Town To Ghost Town«, due out on September 18, 2024 via Glory or Death Records.

The band comments: “The title track was written last and serves as the midway point on this record moving from one place to another. I think everybody can relate to the experience of having to pack up all your shit and move on. Eventually, everything fades away and change is inevitable.”

Originally formed in 2013 as “Hound”. The original lineup consisted of Keith Hernandez on bass, Dominic Torres on drums, & Jake Navarra on guitar and vocals. The power trio quickly recorded and released »The Ether« EP in 2016 focusing on desert rock driven riffs and grungy blues licks. After several lineup changes in the following years the core lineup was ironed out with Jack Stiles on drums and Stephen Rogers on bass & keys. This new and refreshed lineup explored multiple tunings and influences ranging from doom metal, blues rock, and classic rock then officially expanding the name to “Phantom Hound” in 2018 and collectively focused on self-releasing their debut album »Mountain Pass« in 2020 via in-house record label Devil Blues Records with producer Chris Hughes.

While pushing »Mountain Pass« throughout the pandemic, the band went on tour at the first opportunity in the fall of 2021 on a Pacific Northwest run and followed up with another southwest tour fall of 2022 to push the release. In 2023 the band reunited with producer Chris Hughes & entered the studio to record their sophomore record. Taking influence from current day heavy psych lords such as All Them Witches, Elder, and King Buffalo and mixing them with core inspirations such as Alice In Chains, Soundgarden & Sleep; the new record experiments with a brand new heavy psych sound, bolstered backing vocals, guitar harmonies, synthesizers, and an endless onslaught of massive hooks the band has become known for. The Oakland, California power trio will be releasing their sophomore record »From Boom Town To Ghost Town« on Glory or Death Records in September of 2024.
