European deathcore outfit Distant have issued a new single “Rat Torture“, pairing it with the Jáchym Belcher-directed music video. Shedding light on what inspired them to write this new song, the band collectively offered:
“‘Rat Torture‘ is about a suffocating descend into a world where the illusion of freedom is maintained by the glowing screens and empty validation. The song paints humanity as willing prisoners, rats in a cage they worship. Every scroll is a mechanized ritual where identity is performed instead of lived. While there might be still human beneath the glow, it’s too numb to break free.”
Some festival appearances are currently on the horizon for the band:
06/18-21 Dessel, BEL – Graspop Metal Meeting
06/24 Pilsen, CZE – Basinfire Festival
06/26-27 Leipzig, GER – Impericon Festival
