Dutch/Slovakian downtempo/deathcore band DISTANT have released “Acolytes Of Damnation” featuring the unique vocals of Alex Erian of the genre defining Despised Icon. The track is taken from “Tsukuyomi: The Origin”, which was released on November 22^nd. This reimagined track from DISTANT’s debut EP, “Tsukuyomi”, showcases the band’s evolution, blending their raw origins with their current, refined sonic assault. The video was directed by Pavel Trebukhin who already brought you the visuals for “The Undying”, check out “Acolytes Of Damnation” 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.
