LONG DISTANCE CALLING return with new music and open an entirely new chapter in their career. Today, the German instrumental rock pioneers release A Secret Place, the first single and video taken from their upcoming studio album The Phantom Void, set for release on April 10th, 2026. Album pre-orders start today. Described as “the shortest, hardest and strongest album of their career”, The Phantom Void marks a bold creative statement. Remaining fully instrumental, the album tells a dark, cinematic and emotionally charged story, driven by tension, atmosphere and narrative depth. Musically, LONG DISTANCE CALLING once again merge massive soundscapes with intricate details, propulsive grooves and a focused, direct songwriting approach, more concentrated than ever before. A Secret Place serves as the entry point into an ambitious audiovisual concept. The accompanying video is the first chapter of a connected series that will unfold over the coming months. The project explores recurring nightmares, endless loops and the feeling of an unseen, inescapable threat – themes that mirror the album’s haunting musical core. Sound and image are inseparably intertwined, expanding The Phantom Void beyond music into a fully immersive experience.
