Black Phantom started as a solo project of Andrea Tito, bass player and main author/composer of the italian band Mesmerize.

With Mesmerize on hiatus, after the release of their 5th album 'Paintropy' and the following tour, in 2014 Andrea Tito has decided to take advantage of this free time to start a brand new band, Black Phantom, in order to finally release a bunch of good old classic Heavy Metal songs which have been staying in his closet for almost a decade, ready to be finished and see proper life.

With the help of long-time friends and bandmates Andrea Garavaglia (drums) and Luca Belbruno (guitar), plus guitar player Roberto Manfrinato and singer Manuel Malini (both from the cover-band Eruption), a total of 10 tracks + 1 obscure Iron Maiden cover song have been recorded and included in the debut album 'Better Beware!', released in May 2017 by the label Punishment 18 Records.

After two years of live concerts and festivals promoting the album and one line-up change (Ivan Carsenzuola replaced Andrea Garavaglia on drums), Black Phantom have written and recorded a brand new album called 'Zero Hour Is Now', 9 songs of pure Traditional Heavy Metal, released on March 20th, 2020 again by the label Punishment 18 Records.
