Dutch/Slovakian deathcore juggernauts DISTANT have dropped a brand new single and video for “Desolation” and it’s not for the faint-hearted. Directed, shot, and edited by Bart Sperling, the video comes with a trigger warning while musically they deliver a crushing blend of slam, death metal, beatdown, and industrial dissonance, all delivered with unmatched precision and ferocity crafting an atmosphere of sheer annihilation that feels both cinematic and apocalyptic.
“‘Desolation’ marks the most aggressive and intense chapter of our sound to date,” the band shares. “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.”
Catch DISTANT on tour across Europe early next year supporting UK metal titans Sylosis.
