The relentlessly prolific slam-hybrid deathcore six-piece Distant have released another new single ‘Cryogenesis’, featuring the beastly guest vocals of Lochie Keogh of Alpha Wolf. The track comes ahead of their new EP Dusk of Anguish which is set for release via Unique Leader on 19th March.
The band howled into the void: “‘Cryogenesis’ is the second single coming from our upcoming EP Dusk Of Anguish. It encapsulates a dreadful atmosphere perfectly with fierce guest vocals courtesy of Lochie Keogh; one of the sickest metalcore vocalist out there from Alpha Wolf. This fusion of new age deathcore and metalcore brings a heavy mix to the scene and won’t leave listeners able to catch their breath.“
Hailing from Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Bratislava, Slovakia, Distant have produced some of their most devastating work to date with the announcement of their third release for Unique Leader, featuring guest appearances from members of The Last Ten Seconds of Life and Alpha Wolf.
Following on from 2020’s critically acclaimed Dawn Of Corruption EP, Dusk Of Anguish is the second instalment of the dreadful story of Tyrannotophia – the realm of the doomed and the sound of the world’s damnation. Dusk of Anguish picks up where Dawn of Corruption left off, as dusk shines down and an age of pain is ushered through the ashes of the fallen kingdom. With the establishment of a new ruler of Tyrannotophia a cacophonic madness is unleashed and waves of torment and purgatory stalk its lands.
Distant attempt to portray this ongoing carnage, dragging the listener straight to the depths of hell and depravity via their atmospheric, downtempo, deathcore juggernaut.
Featuring cover artwork by Calean Stokkermans (The Acacia Strain, Lorna Shore, Misery Index), Distant perform the dark hymns of the fallen kingdom for listeners to experience the atmospheric despair and the grotesque void to come.
Since 2014 the band have bludgeoned their way across Europe, with the release of their first two EPs Slither (2015) and Tsukuyomi (2017). Recently the band joined forces with Unique Leader to release their debut full-length album Tyrannotophia (June 2019) and Dawn of Corruption EP (2020).
