This Friday’s Guest DJ: DISTANT PAST

Distant Past, Switzerland’s guardians of traditional heavy metal, are set to commandeer the Guest DJ chair this Friday on Metal Express Radio. Since their formation in 2002, this powerhouse band has remained steadfast in their commitment to delivering pure, unadulterated heavy metal that echoes the glory days of the genre.

Led by bassist Adriano and featuring former Emerald vocalist Jvo, who joined in 2014, Distant Past has established themselves as torchbearers of classic metal craftsmanship. Their signature sound is characterized by fast-pounding drums, machine-gun bass lines, and soaring high-pitched vocals, deliberately eschewing modern production techniques and synthesizers in favor of raw, authentic heavy metal energy.

During their Guest DJ session, listeners can expect a carefully curated selection of tracks that reflect the band’s deep roots in traditional metal. Their musical philosophy, which embraces themes ranging from ancient civilizations and utopian societies to science fiction classics and supernatural phenomena, promises an engaging journey through the landscape of classic heavy metal.

Fresh from their latest album release Solaris, which showcases their commitment to accessible songwriting and memorable choruses, Distant Past continues to demonstrate why they’re a formidable force in the contemporary metal scene. Don’t miss this opportunity to experience heavy metal through the perspective of these Swiss metal masters, who prove that traditional heavy metal refuses to die. Tune in to Metal Express Radio this Friday for an unforgettable session of pure, uncompromising metal.

    Stig is the founder and the president of Metal Express Radio, based out of Oslo, Norway. He has been around doing Metal radio since the mid-eighties. In fact, running Metal Express Radio takes almost all of his time. Is it worth it...? "Most times, yes," Stig says. "My philosophy is to try to give all Metal releases a fair chance to get promoted in one way or another. As you can imagine, it can be an arduous task to listen through about 20 albums every week! Still, I know we have the best METAL dedicated radio on this planet, and that is a reward in and of itself. I hope one day the whole Metal community can and will make listening to Metal Express Radio part of their daily rituals! Yeah, right..."
