FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Release Date: March 4, 2026
Genre: Deathcore
Label: Century Media Records
DISTANT , a formidable force in the deathcore genre hailing from Rotterdam, Netherlands, and Bratislava, Slovakia , returns with their most personal single yet, Spirit , featuring Tyler Beam of The Last Ten Seconds Of Life . The track channels raw human emotion, inspired by a real-life stabbing of a family member at a clinic called Spirit. " Spirit is one of Distant’s most personal releases to date," the band states. "It channels grief, shock, and the uncomfortable surge of rage and revenge that follows trauma. It’s raw emotion turned into relentless sound—not to glorify violence, but to confront it."
Formed in 2014 by bassist Elmer Maurits and guitarist Nouri Yetgin , DISTANT quickly established themselves on the global deathcore stage with their debut EP Tsukuyomi (2017) and first full-length Tyrannotophia (2019, Unique Leader Records). Their sound continued to evolve with Aeons of Oblivion (2021) and, under a three-album deal with Century Media Records, Heritage (2023), which showcased a faster, more technical, and produced deathcore experience.
DISTANT’s music is not just sound, it’s storytelling. Their expansive fictional universe—including narratives like The Rise of Tyrannotophia —forms the foundation for lyrics and compositions, giving each release depth beyond the pit. Their live shows, renowned for energy and precision, have sold out venues across Europe and the United States, cementing the band’s reputation as a global deathcore powerhouse.
