North Carolina progressive alt-metal innovators STELLAR CIRCUITS have released Phantom :: Phoenix (Director’s Cut), the definitive edition of their acclaimed third studio album, available now digitally via Nuclear Blast Records. The release pairs the original record with four additional tracks unveiled over the past several months: ‘Spotlight,’ ‘Wounded Healer,’ ‘Stargazer’ and ‘In The Smoke.’

Cinematic, visceral and emotionally charged, Phantom :: Phoenix (Director’s Cut) further explores the album’s themes of transformation and rebirth, moving between light and darkness, destruction and renewal. The new material builds upon the progressive intricacy, crushing heaviness and atmospheric depth that have become hallmarks of STELLAR CIRCUITS’ evolving sound.

Following 2023’s Sight To Sound and the original release of Phantom :: Phoenix in 2025, the Director’s Cut represents another step forward for STELLAR CIRCUITS, bringing the album’s journey full circle while continuing to push the band into new creative territory.

Following the release, STELLAR CIRCUITS will bring their ever-evolving sound overseas for an extensive European and UK tour with EVERGREY and IGNEA this fall. Beginning November 11th in Lund, Sweden, the month-long run will take the band throughout Scandinavia, mainland Europe, the UK and Ireland before wrapping December 12th in Maastricht, Netherlands.
