Phantasmagoria chose a way through music with an idea of creating something different in the post punk sunset of Zagreb at the end of eighties. Inspiration for the name was found at the same titled The Damned album, but it also reminds about apparent fiction of universal truth. Marked as a dark and controversial band and often compared with the some of the biggest names of the genre, such as The Sisters Of Mercy, Killing Joke, The Fields Of The Nephilim,......, Phantasmagoria soon earned the cult status in Croatian underground scene.
