Distant have premiered a new video for their new song “The Shallow Gaze.” The track, which features Spite’s Darius Tehrani, is from the band’s new album, “Into Despair,” which will be released on November 6.
The group 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.”
