History & Biography
This New York-based power metallers came together 1985 and lasted nine years. The band was first heard through the Demo 1986. The act was the brainchild of drummer Mike Gandia who brought on guitarist Neil Santell and keyboardist Andre Pasquarelli. This lead to a deal with California’s New Renaissance and a debut album. The band was booked to open for Skid Row, but since that band did not show up Phantom played on its own! Cyberchrist was recorded in Europe. The band added Bramante who was kicked out of Nuclear Assault to which he would return later. The band played at the Concrete Foundation in 1994.

Post reformation the band issued a compilation called Violence Of Twilight. The reformed line-up surprisingly included more than one older member. Michael Gandia died in 2022. He and Eddie had fallen out and had not spoken for years. Falcon was active in Nova Skellis.
