Dubbed “Nostalgiacore,” I regularly razzed Steel Druhm about his obsession with his lost glory days and heartily rolled my eyes at Rethrash. I thumbed my nose at the 3,500 bands a week we were getting in 2015, wearing bell-bottoms and writing Black Sabbath riffs 45 years after Black Sabbath was released; each rehashing blues rock as though originality was a four-letter word and fuzz pedals were personality. But recently, perhaps sick of the downward spiral towards the ever more “atmospheric” and “brutal,” I have found the simple pleasures of “good, honest heavy metal” calling to me. First, it was <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/wytch-hazel-v-lamentations-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Wytch Hazel</a>, then it was <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/grendels-syster-katabasis-into-the-abaton-things-you-might-have-missed-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Grendel’s Syster</a>. Now, it’s Phantom Spell’s Heather & Hearth.Phantom Spell is the brainchild of Seven Sisters singer and guitarist Kyle McNeill.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/phantom-spell-heather-hearth-review/#fn-219767-1" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">1</a> A multi-instrumentalist, studio magician, and eminent purveyor of nostalgiacore,<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/phantom-spell-heather-hearth-review/#fn-219767-2" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">2</a> Phantom Spell calls back to the days of Steel Druhm‘s youth, when men were men and rockstars could play instruments. When songs were <a href="https://youtu.be/iFWtsT5zRKo?si=TgC-uB-P6ghI2TXS" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">melodic and catchy</a>, but the guys writing them had all studied piano since the age when their moms could smack them upside the head with impunity, so they were good at music, if, admittedly, slightly traumatized. And Phantom Spell hews close to this tradition, featuring what sounds like a fully functional ’70s prog unit. Strong drums and earthy bass rumble beneath lightly distorted guitars—liable to drop into harmonies at any second, exposing the rhythm section. It calls to mind Manilla Road and Kansas, Wishbone Ash, or even early Iron Maiden. But when the Hammond kicks in on opener “The Autumn Citadel,” I get flashbacks to The Summer of <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/retro-spective-review-camel-music-inspired-by-the-snow-goose/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Camel</a>.Like its musical forebears, Phantom Spell pops because of its composition and vocals. McNeill has an ear for classic prog structures—shifting time signatures, dueling guitar leads, and that organ that instantly dates the sound—but what elevates Heather & Hearth is how he binds these elements to purposeful songwriting. The record never feels like a pastiche; instead, it plays like a Tolkienesque love letter written in the margins of well-worn records, borrowing vocabulary but constructing its own syntax. Tracks like “A Distant Shore” and “Siren Song” fuse supple melodic phrasing with rhythmic variation, while “Evil Hand” twists in a familiar rock chassis that both evokes Tom Petty’s classic “Refugee” and Opeth. McNeill’s range—from his surprisingly strong low register (reminiscent of Eric Clayton from Saviour Machine [“The Autumn Citadel”]) to his cherubic high end—carries emotional weight without ever rubbing shoulders with cheesy. He layers harmonies like someone who grew up singing along to Leftoverture or The Snow Goose, and he knows when to pull everything back to let a bass groove breathe. Heather & Hearth is littered with excellent choices that suggest a composer with taste. McNeill understands balance and crafted an album that features it.But no record truly pops without top-notch production. One of the genuine strengths of Heather & Hearth is a strong sense of balance. I’m reminded of <a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/black-sites-exile-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Exile</a> by Black Sites, where traditional hard rock composition and perfectly balanced production combined to create a live feel. So too, McNeill picks his spots, never overloading the mix or betraying the illusion of a live band.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/phantom-spell-heather-hearth-review/#fn-219767-3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">3</a> His production lends to the realism of the production by leaving the bass and drums as exposed elements when keys and guitars drop into harmonies (“Evil Hand,” for example). The feel is classic and beautiful, showing off the perfect balance that he’s struck with the tone. Some of this feels like an illusion, however. When listening closely to the harmonies, for example, in the gorgeous bonus track “Old Pendle,” they sound inhumanly tight, which suggests careful and aggressive processing.<a href="https://www.angrymetalguy.com/phantom-spell-heather-hearth-review/#fn-219767-4" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">4</a>Taken as a whole, I particularly appreciate Heather & Hearth’s structure. Clocking in at about 37 minutes, the record is bookended by two 11-minute songs and filled in with shorter tracks. The composition ebbs and flows between the energetic and the melancholic and fragile. These mountains and valleys are both a strength and a weakness. For me, McNeill reaches his peak when he’s moving and shaking. There is an undeniable energy when the bass and drums are pulsing and he’s throwing off shackles, harmonizing guitars, and driving the music forward. The other side to Phantom Spell is achingly beautiful, and things I love on their own. But the strength of the album is its strong proto-metal heart, and I wish I could hear it beating a little louder throughout.This is a great record, and the only thing left for Heather & Hearth to prove is that it has staying power. From the opening “bew bew bews” of the organs, to the *insert nature sounds here* that close the album out, Heather & Hearth is a triumphant exploration of songwriting. From the melodies to the solos to the amazing harmonies, Phantom Spell sounds like a band with huge aspirations. For that reason, it is actually a little disappointing that it’s a solo project. In my listening notes, I wrote: “My god, imagine finding five dudes who could sing these harmonies live in 2025.” Phantom Spell makes me genuinely long for a time when it would have been impossible for Phantom Spell to exist. And while that’s an amazing success, it’s a bittersweet one. Rating: Great!

The girl says pro <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/Palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Palestine</a> things on her social media, but the boy, Badar Khan Suri, is fairly circumspect in his public statements.

Most are released alive but traumatized, while some have undergone amputations due to lack of medical attention.[translation]I want to talk about something that is not discussed enough in Israel: the Palestinian prisoners being held in Sde Teman. This is a military prison facility where detainees from Gaza are brought, sometimes even elderly women. They are simply taken there, and they are held in conditions that are simply inhumane. Conditions of: tying their hands and feet behind their backs, covering their eyes, leaving them like that for 18 hours a day, not providing them medical treatment, not allowing the Red Cross or UN access to them, not allowing them a lawyer, not allowing them a fair trial. Some are released back to Gaza after a few months, without even being charged, without being told why they were held. Many of them reach a state where there is no medical treatment for their injuries, and their hands and feet are amputated. 35 of them have died in this facility, thirty-five since October. The testimonies coming out, from Israeli doctors as well as soldiers, reports published in the New York Times, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CNN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CNN</a>, the Israeli newspaper <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Haaretz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Haaretz</a> - they are blood-curdling testimonies.
