Formed in 2004, A Distant Sun play dark, aggressive and atmospheric Blackened Death / Doom. Renowned for their aggressive, and intimidating live shows, A Distant Sun have been a staple on the Irish live circuit for some time now, sharing stages with acts such as, Obtest, Anata, Thyrfing, Primordial and many more.
Thematically, A Distant Sun is a mournful reflection on the final days of Paganism, as outside influences such as organised religion and industrialisation slowly strangle the life and vitality of a much celebrated way of life.
The view of this destruction is imparted from a much beleaguered Idol whose world is collapsing around him. The masses who previously viewed him as an all conquering hero have turned against him, embracing the modern and foreign influences now ravaging the world and violently destroying the old ways and beliefs.
A Distant Sun have recently completed their first demo, entitled “VI MMIXâ€. This is available from the band directly or via their myspace page. The last few months of 2009 were spent gigging extensively and promoting the first demo. Late 2009 and early 2010 will be spent writing new material and recording the second demo.
