What's out

DISTANT released the official video for "Into Despair" on November 5, 2026, the day before the album of the same name. Apple Music lists Into Despair for November 6, 2026.

DISTANT, "Into Despair" (Official Video)

The band said in the announcement: "'Into Despair' is the title track and one of the most personal songs on the album. It's about depression and the feeling of spiraling deeper and deeper into a place where you can no longer see a way out. We wanted the song to capture that experience from the inside rather than explain depression from an outside perspective. It's about being trapped in your own mind, watching yourself sink further, and wondering whether there will ever be a way back."

Album and formats

The announcement frames Into Despair as a Dutch/Slovak deathcore release and lists formats: standard CD jewelcase, grey LP, a limited iridescent pearl dawn LP (300 copies from the band), an EcoMix Blue LP (US version), and digital.

My read

The street week package is a title track video, a first person band quote about depression, and a long U.S. routing. That same shape has been carrying other recent metal rolls here, from KNIFE's "Nightmare" to Hatebreed's "Decisions Become Destinies" and Charlotte Wessels' "Incubus". The quote is the reason to stay with this one: the band describes the song from inside the spiral, not from outside it.
