A glimpse into the future, while confronting the present.
Unknown Horizon is my sophomore album. Whereas Fear Harness was a rumination on the past, this release looks ahead towards the future, all while confronting and enduring a myriad of personal transgressions and trauma.
Phantom Heir is the musical endeavor and moniker of the art director and designer James Edward Bonilla.
His sound and style fuses contemplative and tranquil atmospheres with a visceral tenacity drawn from metal and hardcore. Together, this culminates in soundscapes guided by conceptual narratives and punctured with emotional depth.
A multi-instrumentalist and fledgling producer, Phantom Heir is currently based in Oakland, CA and always seeking new collaborators.
