Stellar Circuits – announce third album ‘Phantom :: Phoenix’ + release new single ‘I See Your Spirit’

Following the breakthrough success of 2023’s Nuclear Blast Records debut Sight To Sound, North Carolina’s burgeoning progressive, alt-metal band STELLAR CIRCUITS have announced their follow up record, Phantom :: Phoenix, will be released on November 14th.

Commenting on the upcoming album, vocalist Ben Beddick says:

When we were writing this record, one of the things that kept coming up was the idea of death and rebirth through fire. This idea of killing off the old and dead parts of ourselves in order to give birth to something new and maybe even a truer version of who we all are. Every time we write an album, we go into the process with the idea of getting uncomfortable and exposing a more vulnerable part of ourselves. There also seems to be a constant theme of dealing with loss when we’re in the middle of writing.

Everybody went through different periods of loss and grief during this process and I think that it shows through in the subject matter and the sounds that came out of it. We always want to push ourselves to a new place and build on the foundation that we’ve created over the last few years of being in this band. I think that we’ve been able to achieve that with Phantom :: Phoenix. It’s a representation of that cycle and I hope it can act as a catalyst for growth to those who listen.

STELLAR CIRCUITS has unveiled the album’s first single and opening track, ‘I See Your Spirit,’ which embodies the essence of the record’s theme of revitalization.

Adding about the single, Beddick states:

‘I See Your Spirit’ is a song that seems to epitomize the idea behind the album holistically. When I was in the midst of writing the vocals, I woke up in the middle of the night to find my house was on fire. The smoke was so thick I could barely breathe, and the firefighters said that I was minutes away from death.
