Distant release new single and video ‘Spirt’ ft. Tyler Beam of The Last Ten Seconds Of Life

Author Benedetta Baldin - 5.3.2026

Spirit’ is one of Distants most personal releases to date. The band elaborates:
“Inspired by a real life stabbing of a family member at a clinic called Spirit, the track channels grief, shock, and the uncomfortable human surge of rage and revenge that follows trauma. It is raw emotion turned into relentless sound and not supposed to glorify violence, but it is meant to confront it and ultimately deal with its traumatising aftermath.”

The song and video both feature vocals from Tyler Beam of deathcore heavyweights The Last Ten Seconds Of Life. Watch the video here or by clicking the thumbnail below.

Distant recently wrapped up another European tour with SylosisRevocationLife Cycles and are excited to announce a US tour in May including several shows with In FlamesThrown and Upon Stone. The band is also due to play multiple festivals this summer including Impericon Festival, Graspop Metal Meeting, Jera On Air, Resurrection Fest and more. For more information and tickets, visit the band’s website here.

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.

Upcoming shows:

  • June 27, 2026 – Jera On Air 2026, Ysselsteyn, Netherlands
