On 9 January 2015, Scar Symmetry announced that vocalist Roberth Karlsson had a child on the way, so the band would not do any touring until the fall of 2015, at the earliest. In the meantime, throughout 2015, Per Nilsson and Henrik Ohlsson would be writing "Phase II" of the planned album trilogy. Jokingly, they stated that the album would be entitled, "Phase II: The Force Awakens", but then later clarified that the actual album title would be "much cooler", and did not want to risk a lawsuit over naming their album after the new Disney owned "Star Wars" film. On 16 November, announcements were made to enter the studio and record "Phase II" after finishing the tour the week after. On 7 December, "Phase II" has just started being recorded. In February 2017, via their Facebook page, Scar Symmetry announced that album will be released in 2017. However, as of 2020, there has been no release of "Phase II". On 29 October 2018, the band announced full title of the upcoming seventh album as "The Singularity (Phase II − Xenotaph)".
