While the release day for their upcoming album, Into Despair, is slowly approaching, DISTANT are releasing another single that showcases the strong bonds within the deathcore community. After already appearing on fan-favorite "Argent Justice," Kyle Medina has once again lent his vocals to the latest single and video “Flesh and Nails." If you've ever wondered what deathcore in a haunted pool looks and sounds like, watch the video below, which was produced and filmed by Bart Sperling.
The band comments, "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."
It is the next single taken from the upcoming album, Into Despair, which will be released on November 6. Pre-order HERE.
Into Despair is DISTANT's most personal and emotional work to date, exploring real-life struggles, loss, and the shared grief that connects humanity. The album dives deep into the darker corners of the human experience while finding solace in collective understanding. DISTANT elaborate, "Driven by raw honesty and pure emotion, 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 are keeping things busy and their grim, ultra-heavy deathcore on the road. After already touring Europe with Sylosis, they just finished another U.S. run including several shows with In Flames and Thrown. Come January of 2027, you can catch them on the "New World Killer EU/UK 2027" tour with Spite, Emmure, and Mauled.

DISTANT have 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.
