Phantasmagoria Within
Phantasmagoria Within. That's Symphonic & Progressive Metal which grooves. The great and sometimes gloomy atmosphere takes you in a world of dreams where reality and illusion merge. Enchanted melodies dance around your soul and you feel the beat of the strong rhythm. My name is Michael Engelmann and I play the electric guitar and write our songs. Since the getting off of our female singer, I've done all the vocals on my own.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've written many songs and I still love to write some new ones.
But I've only recorded some songs yet. Since February 2006 Phantasmagoria Within is present on soundclick. In Septembre 2006 the recordings of the first "Mini-Album" called FREE were finished. 5 Songs are on this album. The Special Edition has got 6 Songs.
