Phantasmagore is the third studio album from the rock band Deadsy. It was released on August 22, 2006 through Immortal Records. The album debuted at #176 on the Billboard 200 chart. Phantasmagore had been delayed numerous times since its original release date in 2004, citing label issues and overall complications. A video shoot for the original choice for first single, "Book of Black Dreams", was planned for June at the Sedlec Ossuary in Prague, but had to be rescheduled, and was later canceled. "Carrying Over" and its acoustic version from the Family Values Tour compilation album were both slated for release in January 2007. These plans eventually folded when Deadsy announced their hiatus.

Track listing
There is an advance version of Phantasmagore which features all the songs on this album, although some are extended versions.
Track 9 ("Phantasmagore") contains elements from Tangerine Dream's "No Future (Get Off the Babysitter)", featured on the Risky Business original soundtrack.
Track 10 ("Time") was originally titled "Sands of Time" and contains elements of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song". The synthesizer melody is a direct melodic reference to the song, and the accompanying guitar riffs may be somewhat derived from the song as well.
The album's tracks were known to have been in development as early as 2003.
