"Phantasmagoria" is a landmark album by the Brazilian thrash metal band The Mist, released in 1989 on CD format. This record stands out for its aggressive riffs, dark atmospheres, and socially conscious lyrics that reflect the turbulent era of late '80s Brazil. "Phantasmagoria" is often hailed as one of the most influential releases in South American thrash metal history, blending elements of traditional heavy metal with raw speed and intensity. The Mist was formed in Belo Horizonte and quickly gained recognition for their technical prowess and energetic live performances. Over their career, they have shared stages with major acts like Sepultura and Sarcófago, cementing their status within the scene. Cogumelo Records, the label behind this release, has been instrumental in promoting extreme metal from Brazil since its founding in 1980; it played a crucial role in launching bands such as Sepultura onto the global stage.
