Distant is an European deathcore/metal band from Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Bratislava, Slovakia. The group debuted with an EP titled Tsukuyomi in 2017 and followed-up two years later with a full-length album, Tyrannotophia. The band is currently signed to Unique Leader Records and have toured through the Europe and the United Kingdom.[1]
History[edit]
Since 2014 this dedicated band is hammering their way through Europe with the release of their EP “Slither” in 2015. In early 2017 Distant started on their next chapter with the addition of vocalist Alan Grnja (former Shrill Whispers). This was followed by the release of their debut EP Tsukuyomi in the summer of 2017. Five European tours tour followed, bringing the Distant-bulldozer in full speed and paving the way in becoming a well-known band within their genre. Their first full-length album Tyrannotophia was published in June 2019 under Unique Leader Records and appeared in all major record stores around the world.[2]
In 2020 the band is joined by Jan Mato on drums (also former Shrill Whispers) and Eise Smit on guitar (former Rising Conflict), completing their line-up. The first EP in a series around the lore of Tyrannotophia was released bearing the name of "Dawn Of Corruption". This EP was received by the metal community with great success, earning them the title of Best Track of 2020 award by the Rotterdam Music Awards for their song Hellmouth.[3]
In 2021 the lore derived musical story continued with the squealing EP Dusk Of Anguish, released in March 2021.[4]
