Distant Premiere New Single & Music Video "The Shallow Gaze" - Spite's Darius Tehrani Guests

Deathcore outfit Distant have returned with another guest-laden single, “The Shallow Gaze“, featuring Spite vocalist Darius Tehrani. The track follows August’s “Flesh And Nails“, which featured Bodysnatcher‘s Kyle Medina, with both songs appearing on Distant‘s forthcoming album “Into Despair“, due November 06th. Jachym Belcher directed the new video.

Distant commented:

“When vulnerability becomes a competition, even honesty starts to feel like a weapon. ‘The Shallow Gaze,’ featuring Darius Tehrani of Spite, dives into the paranoia and self-doubt that come with living through trauma while constantly questioning who can truly be trusted.

The track confronts impostor syndrome and the exhausting need to validate your own suffering in environments where trauma dumping has become a form of one-upmanship. Instead of creating connection, every confession becomes another opportunity to compare scars, measure pain, and prove who has suffered more.

With its confrontational intensity and deeply personal subject matter, ‘The Shallow Gaze‘ captures the psychological toll of constantly questioning the intentions of those around you — and the realization that sometimes, the hardest person to trust is yourself.”

“Into Despair” also features Ricky Myers (Suffocation), Tyler Beam (The Last Ten Seconds Of Life) and Skyler Conder (Varials, CELL).
