Distant to release new album Into Despair

Deathcore band Distant is set to release their new album, Into Despair, on November 6, 2026, via Century Media Records. The album marks a shift for the group, moving away from conceptual fantasy and science fiction themes toward more personal subject matter, including real-life struggles, loss, and depression.

The title track, which features a new music video directed by Jachym Belcher, is described by the band as an exploration of the feeling of being trapped within one's own mind. The album includes guest appearances from artists such as Darius Tehrani of Spite, Kyle Medina of Bodysnatcher, Ricky Myers of Suffocation, Tyler Beam of The Last Ten Seconds Of Life, and Skyler Conder.

A North American headlining tour is scheduled to begin later this month, featuring support from Heavy//Hitter, Katywentmissing, Torn Open, and Squelching. The tour will visit various cities across the United States, including Dallas, Houston, Anaheim, Seattle, and Brooklyn.
