Distant | "Into Darkness" Written for the Live Show, & How Musicians Should Approach Performing Live
Episode 774
Wednesday, 4 November, 2026
One comparison that we have been making on the podcast is that, in a life show, the band or the artist is like the conductor of the experience. The crowd follows along with their energy, their vibe, and their overall energy in the experience. The artist is in control on how they make that crowd feel. If your crowd is expecting something heavy and rough, the artist should be playing into that. If the crowd doesn’t know the band, how can the artist use their show to make sure those new fans take part in the show? It is all up to them.This time around, a mainstay in the European deathcore scene is here showing that not only do they understand the importance of the live experience, but how to ensure that they are always giving the best live experience, every show, no matter the composition of the crowd. It leads perfectly into their new music as well.Alan from the European deathcore band Distant joins the Chord Progression Podcast today as the band is set to release their brand new album “Into Darkness” on November 6th, with a full headlining run in the USA to follow. On this episode, we talk about:- The reason “Into Despair” was written for the live show experience, with a major focus in how change of pace impacts each and every one of these songs.- Why Distant is playing smaller rooms on their 2026 USA headlining run, in order to ensure fan investment during the live show, and how they have learned to control fan emotions during their shows.- Distant release more than half of the songs on “Into Darkness” as singles, with a reasoning to prepare the fans for the live show in a more efficient manner.A great discussion on the importance of the live show and how artists should be thinking about the fan preparation and investment into them.
