Deathcore pushers Distant have submitted another preview of their pending full length, Into Despair, arriving this November via Century Media Records.
Teaming with Kyle Medina of Florida standouts Bodysnatcher, "Flesh and Nails" is 3-minute slobber knocker loaded with guttural vocal calls and the band's devastating sonic brutality.
The band shared of the single, "On 'Flesh & Nails,' we join forces with our longtime friend Kyle Medina for a powerful and uncompromising exploration of betrayal, deception, and broken trust. The track confronts the reality of those who hide behind false loyalty, only to turn their backs when it matters most. Channelling anger, frustration, and hard-earned clarity, 'Flesh & Nails' captures the emotional weight of discovering who people truly are when the façade falls away. It stands as a visceral statement on betrayal and the lasting scars left by those closest to us."
Further elaborating on the thematic scope of the record, the band offered a glimpse into the headspace that resulted in such a dark, devastating collection of songs.
"...Into Despair is an album born from personal battles and lived experiences. Every song carries pieces of each member's own journey, with moments of pain, reflection, and resilience woven into a deeply intimate body of work. More than just a collection of songs, Into Despair is a cathartic expression of vulnerability and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, grief is something we all share. It stands as the band's most heartfelt and authentic statement yet, transforming personal suffering into something universally resonant."
Distant recently completed successful touring runs with the likes of Thrown and a European conquest supporting Sylosis. The band's next extended live stretch will be featured on the New World Killer EU/UK 2027 tour along with Spite, Emmure, and Mauled. A list of dates and cities can be found below.
