Ending a hiatus that followed the release of their second full-length "Falls", Poitiers' THE PHANTOM CARRIAGE returns with the aptly-named "7-Year Epilogue". With an highly-twisted baseline that blends the most intricate tendencies of dissonant black metal and metallic hardcore, the band marks their difference by emphasizing their melodic side, not afraid to inject screamo-inspired chord progressions or powerful vocal hooks next to cascades of drums and bileful screams.

Recorded and mixed at The Apiary by Amaury Sauvé (Plebeian Grandstand, Necrodancer, Death Engine) then mastered by Thibault Chaumont (Birds In Row, Mourir, Igorrr), "7-Year Epilogue" sounds like a band that never stopped improving their formula, pushing their own technical limits to create a bleak, disorienting experience.
