Fantom Warrior is a thrash metal/hardcore punk band originated in New Jersey, USA. Formed in 1984 under the name of Fantom Lord and changed to the late one in 1985. They released an EP, "Morbid Invasion", in 1986 prior to their full-lengh "Fantasy or Reality" in 1987. The lack of professional management and touring that would have come with a contract with a major label as well as the downturn of thrash metal during the late 1980s made it difficult for unsigned bands, such as Fantom Warrior, to thrive.The group eventually disbanded in 1989.In 2012 they put out the single "Retribution" in what might be a come back from the Jersey gays.
