LONG DISTANCE CALLING



Step inside the darkness: LONG DISTANCE CALLING have released their brand new studio album, The Phantom Void, and the response couldn’t be louder. Brutal, cinematic, and gripping from start to finish, the album arrives to widespread critical acclaim and marks one of the strongest moments in the band’s 20‑year history.


The release was celebrated this Wednesday with a spectacular, sold-out release show at the legendary Lichtburg in Essen, where 1,200 fans witnessed the band bring The Phantom Void to life in a setting as cinematic as the album itself.

Following the interconnected journey introduced with the singles “A Secret Place,” “The Spiral,” and “Sinister Companion,” The Phantom Void unfolds as a dark, immersive narrative experience. Across seven tightly constructed tracks, LONG DISTANCE CALLING deliver their most compact, heaviest, and most atmospheric album to date. A bold statement that wastes no time and hits with full impact.





Critics around the world agree: The Phantom Void is something truly special. The album is already leading international soundchecks and has been crowned Album of the Month by Rock Hard Magazine.
