Just a few days prior to starting another brutal touring cycle, Dutch/Slovakian downtempo/deathcore band DISTANT are releasing a new song and video for ‘Desolation‘ (edit & camera: Bart Sperling) that comes with a trigger warning – viewer discretion is advised.
The band comments:
“’Desolation’ marks the most aggressive and intense chapter of our sound to date. After months of reinventing our songwriting approach, we built a brand-new digital guitar amp from the ground up and handled the entire mix and master ourselves to push our sound to the limit. The result is raw, heavy, and uncompromising, a perfect vessel for lyrics that channel our rage against the corruption, greed, and systemic misconduct poisoning this world. It’s pure passion and aggression, captured in its most unfiltered form.”
DISTANT has become one of the prominent faces of European deathcore. Melding together brutal death metal, slam, noise and beatdown with a hyper-dissonant orchestra of impending doom, they’ve come eons since their origins as metalcore obsessed friends in Rotterdam and Bratislava.
