Lots of things cause feedback. If you are playing in a small area like a bedroom the sound bounces off the walls. Feedback is just a circle of sound. The sound is causing the strings to vibrate which goes into the amp, comes back out again and makes the strings vibrate more. You could try positioning your amp somewhere else, or even standing in another location. You could soundproof the room. Hang up some carpets or blankets on the walls.
Semi-hollow and hollowbody guitars are especially susceptible to feedback. You don't say what kind of guitar you have.
Noise gates turn down the sound when you are not playing. They are especially useful to eliminate noise from pedals that tend to make noise and hum like high gain distortion pedals when you are not playing. A noise gate will probably help some.
You could try turning down the gain on that distortion pedal.
I am not familiar with these groups, but you should probably look for pedals labeled "overdrive" pedals. This is not as high gain as Metal distortion pedals.

A noise gate won't help much. An EQ set to cut down the feedback frequency will.

just move away from the amp................and get a blues driver or overdrive from boss
