The Phantom Void

2026


For 20 years, Long Distance Calling has been telling stories without words. Their albums are cinematic rock monoliths, conveying profound emotion even without uttering a single syllable.

 

So, I’m like 99.9% positive they’ve played on my discover weekly, but silly ol’ me didn’t pay attention. Trust me when I say that’s a mistake and they have my attention now.

 

So, in my first ever actually paying attention listen of the band, I can’t help but think “this would be super epic gamer music.” It’s powerful, heartfelt and begs the listener to feel emotion and conjure their own lyrics while listening to the instrumentals.

 

The album is truly beautiful from start to finish. I love it when albums make you feel and think. It’s good writing music, if you’re a writer. Good gaming music, if you’re a gamer. Good instrumental music, if you’re a composer. Truly a solid work of art.

 

If you haven’t given them a listen, please do!
