Dutch \/ Brazilian symphonic metal band Phantom Elite have released a music video for the track \u2018Glass Crown\u2019, which can be viewed below.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the song, vocalist Marina La Torraca said: \u201cIt\u2019s a cautionary tale about social media culture, a competition for a fragile glass crown. Who has never felt sick of it all? Filters, all the carefully curated content and complex levels of pressure points, it wears on you. We, as artists, need it as a platform to share our work, but we can also make a stand. And who said headbanging and dancing don\u2019t go together?\u201d <\/p>\n

Phantom Elite issued second full-length studio album Titanium<\/em> on January 22nd, 2021 through Frontiers Music Srl.<\/p>\n

Marina La Torraca commented: \u201cOur album Titanium<\/em> is the result of musicians who had never written songs together before, mixing all sorts of influences, and sharing their passion for music and arts. It definitely wasn\u2019t easy, but all the work paid off in a consistent, melodic, modern and heavy sounding album, which we hope will be a safe haven and source of strength for many music fans through such weird times.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trillium singer Amanda Somerville provides guest vocals on the track \u2018Silver Lining\u2019 as well as choir backing vocals on the song \u2018Eyes Wide Open\u2019. In addition, Staf Rikken provides guest vocals on the track \u2018Worst Part Of Me\u2019.<\/p>\n

Titanium<\/em> was produced by Sander Gommans and mixed by Hannes Braun (aka Johannes Braun). Mastering duties fell to Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Ribe, Denmark.<\/p>\n

Cover artwork was created by Nat Enemede.<\/p>\n
