False Gods unleash another harrowing chapter from their new album »Lost In Darkness And Distance« with the single »Imposter«. A crushing meditation on identity erosion and self-betrayal, the track weaves suffocating riffs, anguished vocals, and monolithic grooves into a slow-burning descent. »Imposter« captures the existential dread that permeates »Lost In Darkness And Distance« – a record steeped in despair, disillusionment, and the relentless ache of being adrift in a decaying world.

The band comments on the single, stating: “We’re proud to present to you our second single off of our forthcoming release »Lost In Darkness And Distance« the somber, soul-crushing »Imposter«. We hope you dig it. Enjoy.”

About False Gods:

Formed in 2015 on Long Island, New York, False Gods are a genre-defying force in modern heavy music. Blending sludge metal’s crushing weight with post-metal atmosphere, NYHC aggression, and the bleak intensity of industrial and post-punk, the band carves out a sound that is both emotionally raw and sonically brutal. Their music shifts seamlessly between towering heaviness, haunting melody, and punishing noise, always grounded in lyrical themes of isolation, grief, and existential dread.

With a lineup featuring Mike Stack – vocals, Greg March – guitar, Devin Stracuzza – bass, and Josh Harrison – drums, False Gods have built a reputation for cathartic live performances and uncompromising songwriting. They’ve shared the stage with heavyweights like Crowbar, EyeHateGod, Conan, and From Autumn To Ashes, and have appeared at festivals including Maryland Doomfest, Grim Reefer Fest, and Ohio Doomed & Stoned.

Their upcoming album, »Lost In Darkness And Distance«, marks their most dynamic and personal work to date, pushing beyond genre lines into something darker, deeper, and more vulnerable.

False Gods do not offer escapism. They reflect reality – unfiltered and unrelenting.

False Gods is:
Mike Stack – Vocals
Greg March – Guitar
