Phantom is the second album by the French metal band Betraying the Martyrs. The album was released on 15 July 2014 through Sumerian Records.[4] It is the first album to feature drummer Mark Mironov.

Background

The first song to be released from the album was "Where the World Ends", released on 28 May 2014.[5] The song was first performed live on 25 May in Lyon, France.[6] On 17 June, a lyric video for the second single, "Jigsaw", was released.[7]

"Let It Go" is a cover of the song from the 2013 film, Frozen.[8] The reaction to the cover was fairly positive, with many praising the band's unique arrangement, although others criticized the band's decision to cover a Disney song, with Under the Gun Review naming it their "least metal moment of the week" on July 14.[9] The cover became one of the band's most popular songs and has accumulated 4.1 million views on YouTube, as of November 2015.

The song "Legends Never Die" is a tribute dedicated to late Suicide Silence vocalist Mitch Lucker, who accepted to appear on one of the album's tracks on October 31 but died a day later in an accident.[10]
