DISTANT is a four-piece crushing downtempo deathcore band hailing from Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Bratislava, Slovakia. Distant, the embodiment of energy, intensity, and sheer brutality in the realm of deathcore, stand as a formidable force in the heavy music landscape. Originating from the juxtaposed locales of Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and Bratislava, Slovakia, this collective concocts a sonic amalgamation, melding hyper-dissonant downtempo deathcore, slamming brutal death metal, and beatdown into a maelstrom of heaviness that engulfs the senses.

Blackened deathcore from Nevada.

Metal outfit from Oklahoma City.

CRUCIFICTION is a musical vehicle as brutal and precise as the works of art that inspired it. The singular brainchild of versatile multi-talent Salem Vex, CRUCIFICTION draws upon cinematic and literary horror to craft thrillingly punishing deathcore songs bent on power and revenge. Based in South Florida, Vex is one-half of the industrialized deathcore duo Bloodbather, where the guitarist’s subversive gothic androgynous aesthetic beckoned listeners into a world of riffs and iconoclasm.
