Century Media Records welcome DISTANT to its roster family, the multinational juggernaut that emerged from Rotterdam, The Netherlands as well as from Bratislava, Slovakia.
DISTANT comment: “We are beyond excited for signing with one of the greatest metal record labels on earth, Century Media Records. With their perfect foundation for the next sagas of our lore, you can expect a lot more dark and evil albums coming from our camp!”

Since their initiation in 2014 and the release of their inaugural EP, “Tsukuyomi”, DISTANT unleashed two studio albums, “Tyrannotophia” (2019) and “Aeons of Oblivion” (2021), as well as two EPs, “Dawn of Corruption” (2020) and “Dusk of Anguish” (2021). However, DISTANT have been breaking through the confines of deathcore and created no less than their own multidisciplinary universe by adding the fictional novel “The Rise of Tyrannotophia” into the mix that is accompanying “Aeons of Oblivion”.
DISTANT, the Dutch slam-hybrid deathcore six-piece that appears to never sleep or stand still; have announced their album Aeons Of Oblivion will be released via the equally unstoppable Unique Leader Records on 11th June.
Ahead of this the band have released a savage double track video featuring songs ‘Rakva’ & ‘Vermilion Rivers’. Check out the gruesome video here:

Aeons Of Oblivion wraps up the story of Tyrannotophia, the realm of the doomed and the sound of the world’s damnation. This draws to a conclusion the final pieces of the fable which the band’s previous releases Dawn Of Corruption (2020) and Dusk Of Anguish (2021) laid out. Distant‘s full-length album totals over one hour of tormenting hymns that deal with Tyrannt’s conquest and hunger for revenge. Featuring five new songs with guest spots including Adam Warren of Oceano and Kyle Anderson of Brand of Sacrifice, the result is a cacophony of carnage that unfolds throughout the whole record.
Distant commented on the release: “As the land of Tyrannotophia shatters, the only true king, Tyrannt, awakens in his monolithic form, drawing oblivion upon us. Aeons of Oblivion concludes the saga and takes the listener down the road of Tyrannt’s cruel story. Our full-length album transcribes the dreadful, ominous and heavy feelings of the tale, bound by sensational atmosphere. We are extremely excited to finally share the full picture we have envisioned and crafted for the last couple of years and we hope you will enjoy and fully immerse yourself in the world we built.”
The new album is accompanied by a limited edition hardback novel: ‘The Rise of Tyrannotophia’ which has been co-written by the band’s vocalist, Alan Grnja and bass player, Elmer Maurits.
Hailing from Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Bratislava, Slovakia, Distant have produced some of their most ferocious work to date with the announcement of their fourth release for Unique Leader. Featuring cover artwork by Calean Stokkermans (The Acacia Strain, Lorna Shore, Misery Index), Distant perform the dark hymns of the fallen kingdom for listeners to experience the atmospheric despair and the grotesque void to come. Since 2014 the band have bludgeoned their way across Europe, with the release of their first two EPs Slither (2015) and Tsukuyomi (2017). Recently joining forces with Unique Leader to release their debut full-length album Tyrannotophia (June 2019), Dawn of Corruption EP (2020) and Dusk Of Anguish (2021).
Crushing down-tempo, slam-infused deathcore six-piece DISTANT have released new single ‘The Eternal Lament’, ahead of their new EP Dusk of Anguish which is set for release via Unique Leader on 19th March.
The band commented: “Dusk is upon us as ‘The Eternal Lament’ sequels the previous Dawn of Corruption EP. The song welcomes the next chapter of the lore around Tyrannotophia by premiering on the upcoming Dusk of Anguish EP. Ruthlessness and gloom spread across this song and leaves the listener in awe from heaviness in its purest form.”

Hailing from Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Bratislava, Slovakia, DISTANT have produced some of their most brutal work with the announcement of their third release for Unique Leader, featuring guest appearances from members of THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE and ALPHAWOLF.
Following on from 2020’s critically acclaimed Dawn Of Corruption EP, Dusk Of Anguish is the second instalment of the dreadful story of Tyrannotophia – the realm of the doomed and the sound of the world’s damnation. Dusk of Anguish picks up where Dawn of Corruption left off, as dusk shines down and an age of pain is ushered through the ashes of the fallen kingdom. With the establishment of a new ruler of Tyrannotophia a cacophonic madness is unleashed and waves of torment and purgatory stalk its lands.
DISTANT attempt to portray this ongoing carnage, dragging the listener straight to the depths of hell and depravity via their atmospheric, downtempo, deathcore juggernaut. Once again the EP features special appearances; this time John Robert C. of The Last Ten Seconds Of Life and Lochie Keogh of Alphawolf take guest spots on the EP to stunning effect.
