Phantom Witch was founded by drummer Q Minor in 2012 as \"Phantom\", taking inspiration from Heavy Metal Greats such as Slayer, Testament, Exodus, Death, & Pantera.
Over the years, Minor's demand for musical excellence caused members to cycle in and out of the band until 2015 when Bass player/Vocalist M.R. Abaintza and Lead Guitarist Geordan Austin joined the band.
The trio would continue on, relentlessly playing shows and melting faces throughout the California Bay area, playing with acts such as Michale Graves, Spellcaster, Visigoth, Strike Master, Luzbel & Hexx.
Joined by Guitarist Travis Ochoa in 2017, the band's lineup was solidified with talented & dedicated musicians, and with the new lineup, came a new name: \"Phantom Witch\".
