Ratchet Blade Records is proud to announce the release of Moonshine Bright, the highly-anticipated fifth release from the notorious hellbilly/doom country band the Phantom of the Black Hills. Moonshine

Bright is the follow up to both Ghosts (2009), Born To Gun (2010), ENEMY! (2012) and Black Hearted Killer EP (2013) and was produced and mixed by The Cramps bassist Chopper Franklin.

“On our previous album ENEMY! we pushed the banjo, fiddle and

mandolin more to the front, so for Moonshine Bright we decided to go

ahead and grind the guitars up more, while keeping the acoustic

instruments as present as before,” states the Phantom.

Phantom of the Black Hills is definitely one of the most innovative

bands in the hellbilly/doom country genre. They mix traditional country

instruments with searing guitars, distorted vocals, intense sound effects

and movie dialog. Their songs are brutal missiles that blatantly

encourage all to live a life of full freedom and protest the wrongs and

hypocrisies of an oppressive society.

On 2012’s ENEMY!:

“The Phantom is described as a hellbilly/doom country band and that’s

exactly what I got….and a fine example of that curious genre chimera at

that. There’s a whiff of the more cinematic moments of Rob Zombie’s

newer solo material about the vocals, some Al Jourgensen too, before

you remember that Al actually turned in his own attempt at this genre

around a year ago; that album by Buck Satan and the 666 Shooters a bit

of a mess, truth be told. ‘Enemy’ blows it away, sharpshooter style.”
