Dutch/Slovakian down-tempo/deathcore band, Distant, are just about to drop their reworked EP, Tsukuyomi: The Origin. It comes out on Friday, November 22nd, via Century Media Records. Before it lands, they have released their new single, “Acolytes Of Damnation” featuring Alex Erian of Despised Icon. This reimagined track from their debut EP, Tsukuyomi, showcases the band’s evolution, and comes with a video directed by Pavel Trebukhin, who created the visuals for “The Undying.” Check it out below.

The band comments: “’Acolytes of Damnation’ stands as a cornerstone of Tsukuyomi: Origins, offering fans a tantalizing glimpse into our most ambitious work to date.”

In honor of their 10-year anniversary as a band Distant are presenting Tsukuyomi: The Origin, an expanded and reimagined version of their debut EP, Tsukuyomi. The release features seven brand new tracks alongside six revamped versions of songs, weaving a comprehensive tale that predates Tyrannt’s conquest through the universe. Tsukuyomi: The Origin not only delves into Distant’s origins but also explores the lore behind their lyrics. It isn’t a standard remaster or simple rerecording, but the band overhauled the original songs to reflect their current sound and vision, ensuring the tracks get the attention they deserve. Expect new features (Matthew K Heafy, Alex Erian of Despised Icon, David Simonich of Signs Of The Swarm and Travis Worland of Enterprise Earth) and a seamless blend of fresh and re-recorded tracks.

Tsukuyomi: The Origin will be available in the following formats:
Standard CD Jewelcase
Black LP
Ltd. transp. sun yellow-black marbled LP (500x) available through Distant
Digital album

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. Stay tuned and watch them become immortalized.
