The Phantom Void Mugs & Travel and Pierre de BethmannLong Distance Callings The Phantom Void is a fully instrumental studio album released in April 2026 that the band themselves describe as the shortest, hardest and strongest of their career. At seven tracks and a tight runtime, it trades the more sprawling journeys of earlier records for something leaner and more immediate, while still delivering the cinematic, postrock postmetal soundscapes that have defined the German quartet for two decades.
