This Friday (February 10th), Distant - the multinational down-tempo/deathcore juggernaut from Rotterdam (The Netherlands) and the Slovak Republic - will release their third full-length, Heritage, via Century Media Records. For a preview of Heritage, the new single/video for the title track - feat. Lorna Shore's Will Ramos! - can be seen here: https://youtu.be/amt9dFlm8go

Distant comments: "'Heritage', the title track from the newest Distant album, is a playful and colorful track featuring Will Ramos from Lorna Shore.

"'Heritage' is a breathtakingly heavy track yet still emotional, with a huge chorus and pace to last you for days, showcasing the diversity of our Dutch/Slovak collective!

"At last, the father and son cross blades; during this exhausting battle, they remember the times forgotten as the clash of their blades sparks new light and brings up the twisted revelation of this catastrophic deception."

The videos for the previously released singles can be viewed below:

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. Heritage, the quintet's Century Media debut and third installment of bone crushing, thick-as-concrete heaviness, takes their trademark "Downtempo/Deathcore" and pushes it into the red. "It's low and slow," smirks vocalist Alan Grnja, describing the band's sound. "Musically, lyrically, we try to travel the uncharted and come up with something you can only call Distant."

Produced by the band's guitarist Nouri Yetgin and Within Destruction guitarist Howard Fang plus co-producer Simone Pietroforte, Heritage is Distant's coming of age and reckoning moment. "This is the perfect Distant record," says Alan. "I want it to be a genre-defining album in the same way 'The Cleansing' was for Suicide Silence - I would say this album is for us."
