FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Dutch/Slovak deathcore force DISTANT have announced their new full-length album Into Despair , set for release November 6, 2026 via Century Media Records. Alongside the announcement, the band has dropped the first single, “All Will Be (N)One,” featuring Ricky Myers of death metal legends Suffocation.
The track hits like a concrete wall and then lingers in the aftermath. “All Will Be (N)One” drags listeners through a bleak, atmospheric descent centered on humanity’s fear of death and the slow, unavoidable collapse of time itself. Crushing deathcore intensity collides with haunting melodic passages, building a suffocating sense of dread before snapping into raw, unfiltered aggression.
Ricky Myers brings an unmistakable weight to the track, pushing its message deeper into darkness and reinforcing the central idea behind the song, that nothing escapes the end, and everything eventually returns to nothing.
Stylistically, DISTANT continue to sharpen their blend of cinematic heaviness and emotional extremity, but Into Despair signals a shift in focus. This time, the storytelling is not fictional. It is personal.
Across the album, the band steps away from conceptual narratives and turns inward, pulling directly from lived experience, grief, loss, hardship, and the long road of resilience that follows.
The band comments:
“Into Despair is the most honest music we've ever written. Every song comes from something we've lived through. Instead of hiding behind stories or concepts, we wanted to write about real emotions and real experiences. This album became a way for us to process grief and pain, but also a reminder that these are things everyone carries in one form or another.”
That honesty runs through every layer of the record. Into Despair is not just heavy in sound, it is heavy in meaning. It turns personal suffering into something shared, something listeners can recognize in their own lives. It is catharsis turned into amplification.
For fans of Spite , Lorna Shore , and Slaughter to Prevail , DISTANT continue to stand in the upper tier of modern deathcore, but Into Despair pushes further into emotional territory than ever before.
With a reputation built on cinematic brutality and unrelenting intensity, DISTANT now channel that force into something more vulnerable, more human, and arguably more dangerous because of it.
