"Renaissance is the debut release from Phantom Generation. Firmly rooted in its album oriented rock underpinnings, the songs create a moving tapestry of pre-grunge rock with metal overtones. Renaissance features twelve tracks all recorded at Summit Studios in Orange County, California with the original lineup. The first seven tracks were mixed for the original album, though the original release only included the first six. Tracks 8 through 12 were mixed later that year and never distributed until now."
Back in 1993, the band came together at a friends house in California, they set up equipment and began recording some demo tracks. Gene's Drums in the family room, Karry and Michael's guitars in bedrooms, and Michael and Paul slamming out vocals in hallways, bathrooms and closets, this was about as bare-bones and raw as it gets. The band recorded 5-tracks that would be added to their debut release just 5 month later. Their 5-track EP was titled 'Renaissance'. In December of 1993 Phantom Generation stepped into the studio to record their Full-length debut album which would also carry the same title - 'Renaissance'. The following year the band hit the streets doing some local gigs to promote the album.
In 2017 Phantom Generation re-released their independent debut full-length album simply titled 'Renaissance'. The band decided that it was time to dust off their 1994 retro release and make it available to the public once more. This re-release has been carefully remixed & remastered for digital release and includes lots of never before heard tracks from there original recording session.
