Radiolaria by Phantom Suns
The rock band Phantom Suns returns with new album "Radiolaria," bringing listeners on a journey through fuzzy guitars, pummeling rhythms, and powerful melodic vocals. This batch of songs broadens the spectrum of what the band is capable of, with quieter moments, punkier punk, and perhaps the band's heaviest song to date. Fans of Nirvana, Deftones, and Queens of the Stone Age should find something to bang their heads to within these 12 gracious melodies.
Phantom Suns is a rock and roll band from Burlington, VT. The name is also a synonym for "sun dogs," an atmospheric phenomena in which the sun appears to be flanked by smaller suns on either side. This cryptic reference to a scientific anomaly is a recurring theme within the band.
Songwriter-guitarist-vocalist Seth Gundersen plays off-kilter riffs while delivering powerful, melodic vocals. Chris Mathieu pummels the drums with precision and ferocity. Chris Knauer's basslines provide a grooving foundation. Lead guitarist Tristan Baribeau is unhinged, sometimes chugging along with the rhythm and sometimes soaring above the din with euphonic leads.
Phantom Suns released their debut album, Caldera, in 2018 to favorable reviews. The second album, "Radiolaria," was released on July 18th, 2025.
