As requested, here’s the ‘other’ MIDNIGHT PHANTOM album from the end of last year. In fact, MIDNIGHT PHANTOM consider the just released ‘L.A. Nights’ (featured yesterday at 0dayrox) as their ‘first album’.
Inspired by their hometown heroes Scorpions and Victory as well as other 80s bands such as Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Christian Heimbucher and Stephan Wsintek startet the project Midnight Phantom in 2018 with songs they had written & produced over the previous years. These songs were finally released on YouTube in the spring of 2020 under the title “Caught in the ’80s”.
And these are the songs put together here, kinda an album also known as “Hollywood Dreams“. Overall, their sound is between DOKKEN, ICON, AUTOGRAPH, QUIET RIOT and many more…

MIDNIGHT PHANTOM are a two man hard rock / hair metal project from Hannover, the German epicentre of ’80s hard rock, consisting of Christian Heimbucher and Stephan Wsintek. Heimbucher is responsible for all instruments as well as songwriting while Wsintek takes care of main vocal duties and melody writing.
Inspired by their hometown heroes Scorpions as well as other ’80s bands such as Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Van Halen, they startet Midnight Phantom in 2018 with songs Christian had written and produced over the previous years.
While their music is a homage to the late Eighties – the album’s title speaks if itself: ”L.A. Nights”, MIDNIGHT PHANTOM aren’t in it for nostalgia, they really love this musical genre (US glammy hard rock / hair metal) and add their own touch, at places quite edgy, heavier.
Overall, their sound is between DOKKEN, ICON, AUTOGRAPH, and QUIET RIOT…
