Day of Phoenix was a Danish progressive rock band formed in Copenhagen in 1968. Known for their intricate compositions and poetic melancholy, the group blended psychedelic and progressive elements with a distinctly Nordic sensibility. Their debut album *Wide Open N-Way* (1970), produced by Colosseum’s Tony Reeves, remains a cult classic for fans of early European prog. Despite disbanding in the early 1970s, Day of Phoenix’s thoughtful arrangements and atmospheric soundscapes continue to influence connoisseurs of vintage rock experimentation.
