History & Biography One of the several Phantasms appearing around the metal scene, this Wisconsin-based crew came together by two former Human Evil musicians in 1988 and shimmered away in 1995. Scott and Tony issued an early demo called Lycanthropy in 1990. The Abominable demo featured a quartet playing six tracks in 1992. The group reported interest from Metal Blade in 1993, but claimed the label lost interest after employees were drenched in fake blood and raw meat at the 1993 edition of the Milwaukee Metal fest. The band had a 7” on Death Trap Records in 1995 before issuing its sole full-length, which was again called The Abominable. The band had opened for Deicide, Slayer and Morbid Angel and was booked for The Milwaukee Metal Fest again in 1995. The reason was that this record was a compilation of the band’s material including the earlier The Abominable and more. Bassist Lee Groth replaced Somers before the end in 1995.
